Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has claimed that he was forced to resign due to a 'sting operation' conducted by his successor, HD Kumaraswamy, and his brother, DK Shivakumar.

Siddaramaiah alleged that Kumaraswamy and Shivakumar had recorded his conversation and threatened to release it if he did not resign.
