Veteran BJP leader B S Yediyurappa has countered Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's demand for his retirement, citing an ongoing POCSO case. Yediyurappa asserted that the truth will prevail once the court issues a verdict.

The former chief minister accused Siddaramaiah of involvement in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment 'scam,' hinting that it may soon be Siddaramaiah's turn to exit politics.

Amid mutual accusations of corruption and calls for resignations, the BJP and JD(S) have launched a protest march from Bengaluru to Mysuru, which will culminate in a mega rally. Public sentiment against the government is reportedly high, according to Yediyurappa.
