The political scene in Karnataka heated up on Monday, as Congress and BJP workers took to the streets following Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot's approval to investigate Chief Minister Siddaramaiah regarding alleged irregularities in land allotments by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

Protests erupted across district headquarters, with Congress leaders denouncing the Governor's actions through dharnas, foot-marches, and rallies. High-profile Congress members, including Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, led demonstrations at Freedom Park as a show of strength. Shivakumar called the Governor's decision an 'attack on democracy.'

Meanwhile, BJP leaders rallied for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's resignation, staging a dharna near Mahatma Gandhi's statue at Vidhana Soudha. Opposition leaders, including BJP state president Vijayendra and former Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, participated, criticizing Congress for undermining constitutional values.
