Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Home Minister Araga Jnanendra on Tuesday launched a counter-attack on Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah and the Congress for demanding their resignation in connection with the scam in recruitment of Police Sub-Inspectors.
“If this is the benchmark for resignation, then Mr. Siddaramaiah should have resigned several times when he was the Chief Minister as the State witnessed several scams in connection with various recruitments, including the scam related to recruitment of PSIs,” Mr. Bommai told reporters in Bengaluru.
“The question paper related to recruitment of PSIs was leaked in Kalaburagi when Mr. Siddaramaiah was the Chief Minister. Did he resign then?” Mr. Bommai shot back, taking exception to the Congress leader’s demand for his resignation now.
