Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Thursday that he was not guilty and will not resign from his post.

He said this while reacting to the BJP and JD(S) demand that he should step down in view of the Special Court’s order in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam case.

Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha, CM Siddaramaiah stated, “I have not committed any mistake and there is no necessity as such that I should resign. Many BJP leaders are on bail, won’t it embarrass them? Has any of them tendered their resignations?” CM Siddaramaiah said.
