Bengaluru: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday said Central agencies, like the CBI, ED and Income Tax Department, should be impartial.
He said this in response to former minister B Nagendra's claim that the ED pressured him to name Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar in the case of embezzlement at the Maharshi Valmiki ST Development Corporation.
"No agency should work in favour of a party. Whether it is CBI or ED or Income Tax, they should function impartially," Siddaramaiah told reporters.
