Central to their demands is the resignation of the current Chief Minister, who is implicated in the MUDA scam. Allegations have surfaced that his wife was fraudulently allotted sites, sparking a political controversy. Additionally, the Congress government is under scrutiny for the Valmiki scam, where Rs 187 crore was reportedly swindled.

In a significant development, social activist TJ Abraham has sought permission from Karnataka Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot to prosecute the Chief Minister. In response, the Governor has issued a notice to the Chief Minister, seeking a detailed reply on the allegations. However, the state Cabinet has reacted strongly, passing a resolution against the Governor’s notice.

The padayatra, which symbolizes a march for justice, has garnered significant attention as BJP leaders and supporters walk the route, raising slogans and demanding accountability. The political temperature in Karnataka has soared as these events unfold, with both parties gearing up for an intense battle.

This padayatra not only underscores the BJP’s campaign against alleged corruption but also sets the stage for heightened political drama in Karnataka, as the state watches closely for further developments.
