The leaders also demanded a CBI inquiry and the CM's resignation in connection with alleged irregularities in Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). “We will continue our demonstrations. In the next stage, we will protest inside the Houses of the state legislature until the cases are handed over to the CBI. The CM should resign,” Ashoka said after the protest. The BJP, he added, wanted the contentious allocation of sites to be cancelled immediately. “More than 86,000 people have applied to MUDA for sites. They did not get them. They are still waiting for sites. But the CM was allotted a site in a jiffy,” he said. The government, Vijayendra alleged, was protecting MUDA officials by just transferring, not suspending, them. “They are trying to cover up corruption. We will protest across the state,” he added.
