He also ruled out the possibility of Siddaramaiah stepping down from the post in the wake of a special court here on Wednesday ordering a probe by the Lokayukta police in Mysuru against in the MUDA 'scam', setting the stage for registering an FIR against him.
«There is no question of demanding (resignation). It's a political conspiracy against the Chief Minister. There is no strength in it (case). They (opposition parties) are unnecessarily trying to create politics. We will face it legally,» Shivakumar told PTI Videos.
«We stand committed. We will support him (Siddaramaiah). There is no question of his resignation,» he added.
