Karnataka Health Minister calls BJP’s attempt a ‘small conspiracy’

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao termed the BJP's actions a “small conspiracy” after Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot allowed the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the MUDA alternate site scam.

Rao stressed that Siddaramaiah will only get stronger from these challenges. “The CM has come out stronger. The more you follow him, the stronger he becomes,” Rao told reporters.

He also alleged that the BJP's padayatra from Bengaluru to Mysuru demanding Siddaramaiah's resignation was poorly received, unlike the Congress' successful public meetings. “The more you attack him, the more popular he becomes. He is doing a good job of serving the people,” he added.
