Dismissing charges levelled by State BJP President B.S. Yeddyurappa against him as baseless and unfounded, Chief Minister Siddharamaiah yesterday, offered to quit public life if the charges were proved.

Speaking after launching several developmental works in Krishnaraja Assembly constituency at Buthale Grounds here, Siddharamaiah accused Yeddyurappa of levelling these charges to win over the electorate of Gundlupet and Nanjangud Assembly Constituencies which are heading for bypoll.
