“We are VIPs, We Cannot Stand in Queues: KSCA Should Give 5 Tickets to Each MLA and Minister of Karnataka,” says Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar Bengaluru Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar has strongly criticized the Karnataka State Cricket Association (#KSCA) for denying tickets to legislators and ministers for the upcoming... Indian Premier League (#IPL) matches starting March 28. Speaking to reporters, Kashappanavar said that despite availing government facilities such as security, KSCA has failed to show respect to elected representatives. “They are not issuing tickets to MLAs, ministers, or their families. Instead, they are asking people to book online. We all know how online booking works,it leads to black marketing. Tickets worth ₹5,000 are being sold for ₹35,000,” he alleged. The MLA demanded that at least five tickets be allotted to each legislator along with separate seating arrangements. “We are VIPs; we cannot stand in queues. Last time, we were made to sit in the general gallery with the public. This should not happen again,” he said, adding that the issue has been raised in the Assembly and taken up with the Speaker. Kashappanavar further revealed that the Deputy Chief Minister has assured legislators of resolving the matter by arranging tickets and ensuring proper seating. On the Home Minister’s meeting with KSCA, Kashappanavar dismissed claims of effective guidelines being issued. “There are no proper guidelines. KSCA has become too powerful because IPL matches are happening. They are collecting money and enjoying it. If this continues, we will fight against it,” he warned.

@ChristinMP_ If ₹5000 tickets are sold for ₹35000, it reflects on the poor quality of governance built and maintained by the elected politicians. This politician has no regrets and does not bother about the inner voice. The KSCA should not give VIP passes to these people.

Who started the discussion on MLAs being denied IPL tickets inside the Karnataka Legislative Assembly? It was BJP’s Leader of Opposition R. Ashoka, not Congress MLAs. What did he say? Read this 👇 “We have given them 16 acres and 32 guntas of prime land at a nominal rent of just ₹1,600 per month. But they make us beg even for a single ticket. They send tickets in my name, but I cannot even send my family members. Meanwhile, these tickets are being sold in the black market for anywhere between ₹3,000 and ₹20,000. They are sitting on thousands of crores… we should teach them a lesson.” Emergency Exit Surya, did you even dial R. Ashoka, who actually raised this issue in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, before pointing fingers at Congress?

This is not a time for partisan politics. It's a moment for collective resolve to ensure justice for those who lost their lives and for their grieving families by bringing the perpetrators to justice. Among the list of victims were: Shri Manjunath from Chikmagalur. Shri Bharat Bhushan from Bengaluru. I spoke to both the wives of the deceased, Pallavi and Sujata, this morning. They are at present safe, but they are worried about the future. I spoke to the KPCC, and the Cabinet has deputed Labour Minister Santosh Lad. He said that he met two members of the family and their children. He also met nearly 200 tourists from Karnataka there in various hotels and arranged flights to return to Bangalore. I have also requested J&K CM Umar Abdullah to make arrangements for those who are not in touch with their respective states. Yesterday night, I spoke to our Home Minister; he promised me that he will take care of all those people. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the deceased and their loved ones in the tragic incident. The summer season has started, and tourists have started visiting the region. Tourism is also the biggest source of income for Jammu and Kashmir. They are dependent on that income. But due to this attack, Shri Omar Abdullah has told me that this year the economy has collapsed. The Government of India is ruling there, as it's a Union Territory, still not declared as a state. So the response would be from the Government of India. In this moment, we are all one with the government. Together we have to fight. Whosoever we are fighting against—whether it is terrorists or other agencies—we will be one together to protect the country and its unity and integrity. : Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge

It is disappointing to hear DK Shivakumar justify VIP ticket demands by saying that MLAs have a “right” because they are part of the government. This logic is fundamentally flawed and raises serious concerns about misuse of power and privilege. MLAs are elected representatives, not entitled elites. They are part of the government because the people of Karnataka voted them into power. The real stakeholders of the government are the citizens, not the politicians themselves. If being “part of the government” is the basis for receiving free IPL tickets, then by that same logic, every citizen of Karnataka who collectively forms and sustains the government should also be entitled to such benefits. If all citizens demanded free tickets, would that be acceptable? Clearly not. It would be financially unsustainable and absurd. Then how is it justified for a select group of elected officials to claim such privileges at the expense of fairness and transparency? This creates a perception that public office is being used for personal perks rather than public service. Moreover, events like the IPL are commercial in nature, not government functions. Providing preferential treatment to politicians undermines the principles of equality and accountability. It sends a message that those in power operate by a different set of rules than the common people. Instead of defending such demands, leaders should set an example by respecting ethical boundaries and avoiding any appearance of impropriety. Public trust is built when leaders act with integrity, not when they justify special treatment for themselves. #bangalore #bengaluru #dkshivakumar DK Shivakumar Royal Challengers Bengaluru Siddaramaiah Karnataka Congress KSCAOfficial alok kumar Mohandas Pai
