A clearly agitated Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah makes a slapping... gesture at a police officer in uniform during a public rally in Belagavi after BJP supporters raised slogans, disrupting the event. Even as leaders of Congress try to caution him, an angry Siddaramaiah pulls up cops in public view. Goes on to say in his speech "BJP & RSS always do this. They disrupt peace, create tensions. I will not be intimidated by their threats"show more

Karnataka High Court has "stayed" a Siddaramaiah govt order... aimed largely at curbing the activities of RSS in public places. In a remarkable coincidence, most such cases involving RSS-BJP folk come up before a judge who has shown remarkable consistency in his orders.show more

Hubli: Basanagouda R Patil (Yatnal) Yatnal, BJP Karnataka MLA... from Bijapur, made hateful & dangerous remarks during a #RamNavami speech. He praised Balasaheb Thackeray as a “mad Hindu” & mocked Uddhav Thackeray by saying “a Prophet Mohammed was born” in his house. This is blatant Islamophobia & hate speech, not politics, but a calculated attempt to spark communal tensions & provoke violence. I demand CM of Karnataka Siddaramaiah & Speaker UT Khader to immediately: • Suspend Yatnal from the Assembly • File a case under hate speech & incitement laws • Arrest him without delay.

#WATCH | Karnataka: "My statement was not about changing... the Chief Minister. Because Siddaramaiah sir said that after 2028, he will not contest elections, I only said that after him, someone who believes strongly in Congress ideology, which is social justice, secular ideology, should be able to lead the Congress party. That's all I have said," says Yathindra Siddaramaiah, Congress MLC and son of CM Siddaramaiah, on his earlier statement reportedly on CM Siddaramaiah and Satish Jarkiholishow more

I was eye witness as to how a section... of anti-Hindu media wanted the killing of 59 Karsevaks by Muslim mob at Godhra to be forgotten in public memory & the Hindu reaction against it to be remembered in 2002 in order to villainise the then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi , BJP & RSS . It was my story in IndiaToday magazine in 2010 that exposed the wrongdoings of Left activists who had tempered with evidence & even raised false Muslim witnesses to trap prominent BJP & RSS leaders.show more

#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: On Karnataka Leadership Row, LoP... in Karnataka Assembly & BJP MLA, R Ashoka says, "This is a very, very crucial stage in Karnataka politics. The fight between Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar has turned into a street fight. The Congress High Command is weak. The half-term power-sharing needs to be implemented, as demanded by DK Shivakumar, but Siddaramaiah is not leaving... For the last year, there has been no development, no coordination between CM and DCM, no ministers are working, everyone is sitting at home and not even coming to the Vidhan Soudha... The whole state is confused about who is the CM... Today we have a meeting of BJP and JDS..."show more

Siddaramaiah is compromised. He had manipulated his way up.... He became the CM twice. I don't see immediate rebellion. Congress never told the truth to the people. Who will buy what they say? I don't think there will be a smooth transfer of power, if it happens," he adds, on being asked about Congress denying any speculation of a change of CM in Karnataka.show more

Not a good news for Siddaramaiah? "Development has taken... hit in Karnataka amid Ambiguity on Leadership Tussle" Reportedly, report submitted by Rahul Ghandy camp's Randeep Surjewala says this. Clearly puts CM Siddaramaiah on wet wicket. It appears that RaGa is working in full-gear to overrule Sonia Ghandy & Priyanka Vadra by replacing DKS as CM. He's obviously too hurt after his choice KC Venugopal was sidelined by mother-daughter duo in Karalam CM race. But will Sonia & Priyanka go down without a fight?- I don't think so & therefore still can't say if DKS will finally win the race. I still feel strongly that it's going to be Mallikarjun Kharge ji who's going to win 'Game of Thrones' in Karnataka. Btw... Whoever wins today's race, BJP has reasons to smile.show more

A very strong statement by Congress MP Pawan Khera... 🇮🇳 ಪವನ್ ಖೇರಾ ji to BJP, “Let our government come to power.

#WATCH | Davangere, Karnataka: On former CM Siddaramaiah's "I... will not contest in the 2028 assembly elections" tweet, BJP leader C.T. Ravi says, "Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is a senior leader. He is experienced. He knows that Congress's defeat in Karnataka in 2028 is certain. Congress will lose badly... In that context, the decision he has taken is a good decision from the perspective of his political health."show more

#WATCH | Delhi: On minority quota row in Karnataka,... BJP MP Brijesh Chowta says, "The recent reservation which the government of Karnataka is providing for Muslims in government contracts is unconstitutional and is trying to divide the society on the basis of religion... The government led by Siddaramaiah is trying to woo the minorities... I condemn this... During the budget, they also gave a provision of Rs. 1000 crores to prepare an action plan on the Minority Colony Development Fund... Congress in Karnataka is trying to divide the society, is trying to create a ghettoization, and is also trying to Balkanize India... We raised this in the zero hour today in the Parliament... Our party in Karnataka is leading a protest today. We will fight it inside the House, outside the House, and take it up to the court to stop this..."show more

Let me tell this very clearly; -Congress believes in... transparency in the distribution of election tickets unlike BJP-BJD; -ED-CBI are now the frontal organisation of BJP; If you see the series of recent incidences, you can make out that; -BJP leaders are free to fire on anyone inside a police station in Maharashtra; -In UP, VHP Moradabad head is free to plan and execute Cow slaughter to create tension in the area and to target the station house officer (SHO); -ED CBI do not dare to visit house of the BHU rape accused, Assam CM Hemanta Biswa, and many other tainted BJP leaders.show more

Prathap Simha's vile “cut” remark about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah... ji in Bagalkot has exposed the BJP's despicable politics once again. It is increasingly evident that Prathap Simha’s outburst is driven by desperation. BJP is deliberately using Prathap Simha for insulting the tallest leader of the backward community, Shri Siddaramaiah, purely with a view to convey a message to the backward classes, Scheduled Castes and Minorities, that BJP treats them as inferior and subjugated as per their Manuvadi approach. Such conduct only exposes a complete bankruptcy of ideas, ethics, and leadership within the BJP. CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar have received death threats in the past - from the same divisive forces, including one from BJP leaders who warned that their bodies would be stuffed into a refrigerator. This is not one man's madness - it is the BJP’s political culture. This is the same Prathap Simha, who in the past called the elected Karnataka government a "Taliban government" - not once, but repeatedly at the instruction of the BJP Central Leadership. BJP leaders are habitual offenders in spreading poisonous discourse. Ex MP Ananth Kumar Hegde openly insulted Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao's wife - while serving as a Union Minister. BJP MLC CT Ravi had fallen to the ultimate low by insulting Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar inside the Legislative Council itself. Other BJP leaders are repeat offenders in hurling insults, indignities, and outrageous remarks, to offend and denigrate individuals, communities, and religions. When abuse becomes the Magna Carta of BJP leaders, it is futile to expect language of development, progress, or harmony. The anger and frustration of BJP in Davanagere South and Bagalkot assembly bye-elections emanate from their rejection by the people and foresight of imminent defeat on April 9, 2026. Irked by the same, and angry with Kannadigas, State and Central BJP leadership has now assigned the task to the ilk of Prathap Simha, to hurl abuses and indignities at the leadership of the poor and downtrodden, including on Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar. And the ultimate irony - the BJP leadership first expelled and disowned Basanagouda Patil Yatnal for six years from the BJP. Yatnal openly calls BJP State President B. Y. Vijayendra and former Chief Minister Shri. B. S. Yeddyurappa as a "corrupt family”. In Bagalkot assembly, BJP and its candidate, Sh Veeranna Charantimath have now appointed Yatnal as their “star attraction”. A party divided into a thousand pieces, who cannot manage their own house, are now abusing Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Minorities and their leaders including Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister Shri. D. K. Shivakumar. Karnataka has a proud legacy of progressive thought, scientific temper, religious tolerance, and social harmony. The great Kannadigas will not be misled by BJP leaders, who seek to drag politics into the gutter. We demand the following immediately: 1. Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi, BJP National President Sh. Nitin Nabin, BJP State President B. Y. Vijayendra, and LoP Sh. R. Ashoka must tender a public apology to 6.5 crore Kannadigas, particularly to the OBCs, SCs, and Minorities, for the disparaging and intolerable remarks of BJP leader Shri. Pratap Simha, made against Chief Minister Shri. Siddaramaiah. Let them expel Prathap Simha from BJP, if they do not subscribe to his remarks, and if they are not a party to the conspiracy. If they do not do so, it will be proved that the state and central leadership of the BJP has deliberately assigned Prathap Simha for hurling these nefarious insults and indignities. 2. FIR be lodged against Prathap Simha and strict action be taken. If the BJP and its leaders do not apologize, the poor and the downtrodden would teach the BJP a befitting lesson in the bye-elections of Davangere South and Bagalkot. Jai Hind! Jai Karnataka!show more

Frustrated & demoralised by their resounding defeat in the... Rajya Sabha elections in #Karnataka, BJP leaders are peddling their favourite set of lowly lies of Pakistan Zindabad slogans being raised by supporters of Congress MP elect, Sh. Dr Syed Naseer Hussain, M P ! Not only is this an absolutely false bogey, this is the extreme sense of exasperation that exists in their perverted mindsets against anyone who belongs to a minority community, particularly a Muslim Minority. They are doing the same thing to our Sikh brothers in farm stir, calling them Khalistanis. A BJP MP from Karnataka recently again called all farmers Khalistanis. They do the same to the Christian Minority by raising a fake bogey of conversion. Congress and Karnataka Congress will not be intimidated by these fake propagandists, who can’t dare to speak a word against Modi Govt for unleashing economic blockade of Karnataka by denying over ₹62,098 CR in 15th Finance Commission to Karnataka, Loss of ₹76,880 to Karnataka in Tax Devolution, stopping the ₹5,300 CR for the Upper Bhadra Project and & 6,000 CR for the Peripheral Ring Road of Bengaluru. To the imbecile minds who tarnish an entire minority community with the same brush, please remember that Sh. Naseer Hussain is a committed Nationalist and doctorate from JNU, who has been elected President of JNU Delhi twice besides its Vice President and General Secretary. He has risen through the ranks of Youth Congress to be the Spokesperson of Congress and Whip of Party in Parliament. His stoic defence of Congress ideology and frontal attacks on Govt inside and outside Parliament is what has unnerved BJP leaders. We condemn this sinister and malicious agenda in the strongest words. Meanwhile, I have advised Sh. Naseer Hussain to lodge an FIR against the channel who showed this fake news (which is owned by a Union Minster who was not given Rajya Sabha this time by BJP and is hoping to contest on BJP ticket from Bangalore in Parliament elections) and other miscreants. Pl know we will take action with full force of law. For those unaware, I am putting the raw footage of the video for everyone to see and adjudge.👇show more

Humiliation in Delhi for Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah! He travelled... all the way to the capital, only to be denied an appointment by Rahul Gandhi—and has now returned without even a meeting. This isn’t the first time a Gandhi has insulted a senior leader from Karnataka. History remembers how Rajiv Gandhi unceremoniously sacked an ailing Veerendra Patil, triggering the Congress’s downfall in the state. Now, a weakened Siddaramaiah is forced to hide behind the very man plotting against him—DK Shivakumar, who is eagerly waiting to take his chair. The Congress, and the Gandhis in particular, have always treated Kannadigas with disdain. This is just the latest example.show more
