Allegations involve misappropriation of Rs 89 crore, leading to the suicide of an accounts superintendent, and political fallout affecting Siddaramaiah's position.

In a heated political standoff, former Karnataka Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda has called for the resignation of current CM Siddaramaiah, citing a multi-crore scam in the Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation as the reason.

The scam, which came to light following the suicide of a corporation's accounts superintendent, involves allegations of misappropriation and illegal fund transfers amounting to Rs 89 crore, affecting Siddaramaiah's leadership standing.
