Bangalore:The role of information minister Santosh Lad in the illegal mining and export of iron-ore from Belikeri port has become a headache for CM Siddharamaiah.
In spite of CM Siddaramaiah has been trying to shield Santosh Lad, the opposition party BJP has continued to protest, urging him to resign from his ministerial post, has decided to complain to Governor in this regard.
BJP leaders are likely to meet Governor H R Bharadwaj on Saturday September 21, in order to urge him to sack minister Santosh due to minister’s key role in illegal mining scam.
In reacting to the issue, the former CM Jagdish Shettar said that both CM Siddaramaiah and KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar are supporting minister Santosh Lad and this shows that the entire Congress party is in support of the minister.
At this backdrop, Governor is expected to take a unbiased role, said Shettar.
