Will HD Kumaraswamy also resign if CM Siddaramaiah resigns?: JD(S) MLA GT Deve Gowda
Challenges BJP, JD(S) leaders over Siddaramaiah's resignation demand
Mysuru: JD(S) MLA G.T. Deve Gowda has challenged the opposition leaders demanding Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's resignation and questioned whether JD(S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy and others facing cases would also step down. He was speaking at the inauguration of the Mysuru Dasara celebrations at Chamundi Hills.
"Why should Siddaramaiah resign? Which law mandates resignation immediately after an FIR is filed?" Gowda asked, while asserting that the court had not ordered the Chief Minister to be jailed or resign. He also pointed out that the Governor has merely asked for an investigation and that Siddaramaiah’s governance.
“Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is providing good governance, and the guarantee schemes are proving to be beneficial for the people. Without allowing further development in the state, why do you keep asking him to resign every morning? Why should he resign? Can Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who won with a margin of 2 lakh votes, be asked to resign? Can Siddaramaiah, who is the Chief Minister with the support of 136 MLAs, be asked to resign?” he questioned.
G.T. Deve Gowda further said that Siddaramaiah had previously faced joint opposition from the JD(S) and BJP in the 2006 by-elections but had emerged victorious. "He will continue to be victorious, as he has the blessings of Goddess Chamundeshwari," he added.
The comments come amid heightened political tensions and demands from opposition leaders for the Chief Minister’s resignation following the registration of an FIR against him related to the alleged MUDA scam.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
