'Acting like puppet': Siddaramaiah fumes after Karnataka governor walks out, weighs moving SC| India News
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has approached the Supreme Court following a political storm triggered by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s walkout during his address to the state legislative assembly. The Chief Minister accused the Governor of acting against constitutional norms by abruptly leaving the House after members of the ruling Congress protested parts of the speech. Siddaramaiah argued that the Governor’s actions undermined democratic traditions and created an unnecessary constitutional crisis in the state. The controversy erupted when Congress legislators objected to certain passages in the Governor’s address, which they claimed reflected the previous BJP government’s agenda rather than the current administration’s policies. The Governor exited without completing the speech, leading to sharp reactions from the ruling party. The Karnataka government has now sought judicial clarity on the Governor’s role, emphasizing the need to protect legislative procedures and constitutional balance. The case is expected to have wider implications for Centre-state relations and gubernatorial conduct in India.
