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.

Bengaluru: PUC student dies by suicide, hours after results were declared
Bengaluru (PTI): A second-year Pre-University Course student allegedly died by suicide at her residence here, hours after the exam results were announced, police said on Friday.
Tanushree (17), a science student, reportedly failed in three subjects, which is suspected to be the trigger behind her taking such an extreme step, they said.
However, no suicide note was recovered from the spot, except her hall ticket, which was found lying on the bed.
According to police, the incident came to light on Thursday around 3.30 pm, shortly after the results were announced.
She hung herself from the ceiling fan when no one was at home. Her mother had gone to work, a senior police officer said.
Citing preliminary inquiry, the officer said it is a clear-cut case of suicide. She was apparently distressed over failing in three subjects and had also called her friends to discuss the same.
When she did not respond to their calls and messages later, her friends decided to check on her, he said.
Based on her mother's complaint, a case of unnatural death has been filed, with Hebbal police investigation indicating it to be a case of suicide, police added.
(Assistance for overcoming suicidal thoughts is available on the state’s health helpline 104, Tele-MANAS 14416.)
