Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 24 (IANS) Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Karnataka Leader of Opposition (LoP) R. Ashoka on Saturday alleged that Congress insiders were behind the alleged sting operation targeting former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee member Siddaramaiah, claiming that the controversy exposed deep divisions within the ruling party in the state. Reacting to Karnataka Minister and Siddaramaiah's son Yathindra Siddaramaiah's statement that Congress insiders had carried out the sting operation over demands for Assembly election tickets, board chairperson posts and other positions, the LoP said the developments had brought the Congress to a critical juncture. There is no honour left within the Congress party. The person (Siddaramaiah) who handed over power smoothly has been stabbed in the back by Congress leaders, Ashoka alleged. He said that Siddaramaiah's supporters and the AHINDA (Kannada acronym for Minorities, Backward Classes and Dalits) community that had rallied behind him were deeply hurt by the developments. The community believed that the leader (Siddaramaiah) who had helped it gain dignity was now being disrespected and dishonoured, the LoP claimed. The AHINDA community has become directionless, and the Congress party is responsible for this situation, LoP Ashoka alleged. Questioning the state government's handling of the controversy, BJP leader Ashoka said that although the state government had announced an investigation, no meaningful action had been taken. He demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, alleging that attempts were being made to hush up the case. Ashoka warned that the resentment among Siddaramaiah's supporters could have political consequences in the coming elections if the alleged conspiracy against the former Chief Minister was not properly investigated. State BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra also demanded a transparent and comprehensive investigation into the alleged sting operation, questioning the state government's willingness to pursue the case. We know who the sting expert is. Let them show interest in getting the matter investigated. The Chief Minister (D.K. Shivakumar) should demonstrate his willingness to probe it, Vijayendra said. Referring to Siddaramaiah's public statement on the issue, the State BJP President alleged that Chief Minister Shivakumar was reluctant to ensure a comprehensive investigation. He said there was speculation that the controversy was being used to force Siddaramaiah to step down from his position. Vijayendra urged Shivakumar to ensure a transparent investigation, noting that Siddaramaiah had served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka and presented more than 10 budgets during his political career. He also referred to Yathindra Siddaramaiah's statement that Congress insiders were involved in the sting operation. The father of sting operations was sitting at the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) and has now come to Vidhana Soudha. Everyone knows who it is, Vijayendra alleged, without naming the person. Meanwhile, suspended BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, speaking in Delhi, alleged that both the Congress and the BJP had elements involved in recording private videos and using them to blackmail their own party leaders. There are two CD factories in Karnataka. One has come out in the open, and another is in the BJP, he alleged, claiming that both national parties were under the influence of people who used private videos to threaten their own party leaders. Yatnal alleged that anyone considered a threat was targeted through such recordings and blackmail. The allegations by the BJP leaders come amid the ongoing controversy over the alleged sting video linked to Siddaramaiah and demands for an independent investigation.
Siddaramaiah sting video case: Delhi man detained, questioned by Karnataka Police
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 24 (IANS) The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Bengaluru police detained and questioned 22-year-old Ritesh Kumar Pande, a resident of Delhi, in connection with the alleged sting operation video linked to former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Siddaramaiah, police said on Saturday. Pande was questioned for around two hours at the office of CCB Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raja Imam Khasim P. Police suspect that he was involved in uploading the video, which was circulated through the 'Karnataka Honey Trap' accounts on social media platforms YouTube and X. The police have seized the mobile phone allegedly used to upload the video. Other mobile phones found in Pande's possession have also been taken into custody for examination. The seizure procedure, including the preparation of the mahazar (panchanama) was videographed as part of the investigation. According to the police, the CCB tracked the location from which the video was uploaded and identified the person allegedly responsible for uploading it. Pande was brought to Bengaluru from Delhi by CCB officials on Friday for questioning. The police are likely to produce him before a judge and seek his custody for further investigation. Investigators are expected to focus on identifying the people who allegedly directed him to upload the video and establishing the motive and larger conspiracy behind its circulation. The case was registered following a complaint by former CM Siddaramaiah with the Cyber Crime Police over the circulation of the alleged sting operation video. Pande's detention is understood to be the first major breakthrough in the investigation, though further legal proceedings and police confirmation are awaited. The video reportedly features a media professional in connection with the controversy surrounding the alleged sting operation. The media professional has secured bail in the case. The CCB is continuing its investigation to establish the chain of events leading to the recording and circulation of the video, including the source of the footage, those involved in its distribution and the possible role of other individuals. Police are examining the seized electronic devices and other technical evidence to establish the circumstances under which the video was uploaded and circulated on social media platforms. It can be noted that Karnataka Minister for Urban Development Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday alleged that insiders had carried out the sting operation involving his father and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, to tarnish his image, destroy his 40-year political legacy and blackmail him. Siddaramaiah on Friday named a journalist and Congress leader Krupa Alva of Mangaluru, as those allegedly behind the sting operation, describing it as a systematic conspiracy to blackmail him and tarnish his image through false allegations.

K'taka Minister defends Raihan Vadra, slams BJP over 'soft launch' remark
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 24 (IANS)Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Saturday defended Raihan Vadra, son of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, after the BJP described his art exhibition as a soft launch for his entry into politics, questioning why the opposition was criticising the activities of political leaders family members. If Raihan wants to showcase his art, what is wrong with that? Should people not exhibit their art? Should they not earn a living, get into politics or do business? he asked. Kharge said the children of political leaders should be free to pursue their interests and careers without facing criticism solely because of their family backgrounds. If my son is doing something, why can't he do it because he is Priyank Kharge's son and Mallikarjun Kharge's grandson? Should they not follow their hobbies? Should they not get into art, business or politics? he said. Maintaining that electoral democracy gave people the right to choose their representatives, Kharge said political participation should be determined by voters rather than family connections. This government is elected, not selected. If Kharge's son is an MLA, he is an elected MLA, not a selected MLA. BJP leaders' sons can enter politics, so why can't my son or Priyanka Gandhi's son enter politics? he asked. He also referred to the business activities of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's children and the involvement of other political leaders' children in business and public life, questioning why similar pursuits by Congress leaders' family members were labelled dynastic politics. BJP leaders' children run schools, including international schools, do business and enter politics. If they do it, it is called a masterstroke, but if someone from Congress does it, it is called parivarvaad, Kharge said. He argued that political leaders' children had the right to pursue art, business or politics as long as their activities were legal. Accusing the BJP of applying different standards to the families of leaders from the two parties, Kharge questioned why the same activities were viewed differently depending on their political affiliations. The BJP on Friday claimed that the artwork supposed to be presented by Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi's son Raihan didn't include any political content when it was sent for approval to the Bikaner House in June. The party also accused Priyanka Gandhi of manufacturing a controversy by forcing her son to include political artwork in his exhibition to soft launch him into politics. BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged that the House approved Raihan's exhibit as his proposal declared that his exhibition would contain themes of nature, wildlife, artwork and sculpture. He said Raihan was made to include political content in his artwork later. Under pressure from his family for a political launch, the political photographs were inserted later on, after which Bikaner House reverted, asking for removal on 21st October 2026! Priyanka Vadra's entire attempt was to soft launch her son by manufacturing a controversy. She has lost political faith in Rahul Gandhi!, Bhandari said in a tweet.

Navdeep credits SAI, JLN Stadium training facilities for Asian Para Games bronze
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 24 (IANS) Indian para-athlete Navdeep Singh has credited the training environment and support at the Sports Authority of Indias Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi for helping him prepare for the Asian Para Games 2026, where he won bronze in the mens javelin throw F40/F41 event. Navdeep, who finished fourth at the previous edition in 2022, said training alongside fellow Indian athletes at the stadiums main track helped him acclimatise to the competitive environment ahead of the Games in Aichi-Nagoya. India finished fourth in the overall standings with 114 medals, including 30 gold, 35 silver and 49 bronze, marking its best-ever performance at the continental para-sport event. Para-athletics accounted for 65 of the countrys medals, with 22 gold, 19 silver and 24 bronze. Most of us Asian Games-bound athletes, including me, did our preparations at the JLN Stadium for the Asian Games 2026, Navdeep said after his medal-winning performance. This allowed us to acclimatise and get the feel. Despite the ongoing (Indian Super League) football matches, they kept the Asian Games a priority, which I felt was quite impressive, and that supported me, he added. The Paris Paralympics gold medallist also highlighted the benefits of having access to the main track and dedicated training space, saying it allowed athletes to prepare without unnecessary interruptions or delays. Sprinters need an empty track, so they got a good chance to train inside it. I majorly train at the SAI Regional Centres (Bengaluru, Sonipat and Gandhinagar), where there is not much crowd and I dont have to wait for other athletes to finish their throws. This all happened here at the JLN Stadium too. I could focus on my preparations rather than focusing on rotations and waiting for my turn, Navdeep said, adding that he hoped to return to the facility next season. Navdeep was among 14 medallists at the Asian Para Games who trained at the JLN Stadium ahead of the competition. The group delivered a strong showing across track and field events, winning medals in multiple disciplines. Praveen Kumar won gold in the mens high jump T64, while Sandeep Kumar claimed the mens 400m T64 title with a world-record performance. Pranav Soorma triumphed in the mens club throw F51, and Rinku Hooda topped the mens javelin throw F46 event. Simran Sharma won gold in both the womens 100m and 200m T12, setting Games records in each race. The silver medallists from the training group included Manjeet in the mens javelin F12/F13, Nimisha Chakkungalparambil in the womens long jump T47, Varun Singh Bhati in the mens high jump T63, Preeti Pal in the womens 100m and 200m T35, and Ajeet Singh Yadav in the mens javelin F46. Sandeep Kumar also won bronze in the mens 100m T44, while Sandip Sanjay Sargar secured a bronze in the mens javelin combined-classification event. Anubhav Choudhary finished third in the mens 100m T35, alongside Navdeeps bronze in the javelin. More than 50 other para-athletes also train at the SAI JLN Stadium, which continues to serve as a training base for athletes across disciplines.
MI Should Go Big For Sushma Verma At WPL Auction: Reema Malhotra
Caribbean Premier League: Former India cricketer Reema Malhotra believes Mumbai Indians should target wicketkeeper-batter Sushma Verma at the upcoming Womens Premier League (WPL) 2027 auction to address their concerns at the top of the order. According to Reema, Mumbai need to settle their opening combination and find a replacement for wicketkeeper-batter G Kamalini, while also strengthening their spin and pace-bowling options ahead of the fifth season. Mumbai Indians, who missed out on the playoffs in WPL 2026, have retained a core group of 11 players led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur. The franchise will enter the auction, scheduled to be held in Kochi on October 28, with a purse of Rs 1 crore. The best thing for the Mumbai Indians is that they head into the auction with the least money, which means the least problems. They have retained their core group but need to sort out a few problems. One major problem is their opening pair, Reema told Jio Star. Last season, G. Kamalini opened with Hayley Matthews, and then Amelia Kerr was tried as an opener as well. They kept changing their opening pair, and now they head into the auction looking to solve that. By letting go of G Kamalini, they lost their wicketkeeper batter, and they let go of Saika Ishaque too, so they are also on the hunt for a spinner to partner Vaishnavi Sharma, she added. Reema identified Sushma Verma as a potential solution to Mumbais opening and wicketkeeping concerns, citing her performances in domestic cricket and the Womens Caribbean Premier League. To solve the problem of an opening batter who can keep wickets, the Mumbai Indians should go after Sushma Verma. She had an amazing domestic season with the bat and performed well in the Womens Caribbean Premier League too. Plus, she was called for trials by the MI team management, and I feel Mumbai is going to go big for Sushma Verma in the mini-auction, she said. Reema also backed all-rounder Amanjot Kaur, who is recovering from a back injury at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru, to retain her place in the side. Mumbai Indians will surely back Amanjot Kaur as the all-rounder. Shes a three-dimensional player and someone whos not replaceable. Shes been the star of the team for the last two seasons, so I find no reason for her exclusion from the team, she said. She also pointed to Sajeevan Sajana as a player Mumbai is likely to continue backing after investing in her over the last three years, while naming Shweta Sehrawat as another potential target following her release by UP Warriorz. They have invested a lot in S. Sajana over the last three years, so she is likely to retain her spot in the playing XI, unless they pick a dynamic finisher or an Indian batter who can replace her, which can be Shweta Sehrawat. She had a good domestic season, and UP Warriorz has released her this time. So, Mumbai will keep an eye on her as well, Reema said. Mumbai have also strengthened their pace attack by trading USA left-arm pacer Tara Norris from UP Warriorz for WPL 2027 at her existing fee of Rs 10 lakh. Norris, who was previously part of MI London, became the first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in the WPL. However, Reema stressed that Mumbai should also invest in an Indian pacer to provide cover if Norris is unavailable or unable to deliver wickets consistently. Tara Norris arrival is good news for Mumbai Indians because it strengthens their pace bowling unit. She was the first bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul in the WPL, and her bowling skills will help Mumbai a lot. But if Tara Norris picks up an injury or doesnt find that wicket-taking form, then Mumbai will be in trouble, she said. Which is why I want them to go after an Indian pacer who can step up if things dont go as planned with Tara Norris, she added. Reema said Mumbais limited auction purse could make it practical to target young Indian players who can provide depth to their bowling attack. If Mumbai get a young Indian pacer, then they will have a proper backup option who can bowl in the powerplay and at the death, and that will give them more depth in their pace attack, she said. Reema said Mumbais limited auction purse could make it practical to target young Indian players who can provide depth to their bowling attack. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Ashoke Sen becomes first Indian physicist to win 2026 Oskar Klein Medal
Indian physicist Ashoke Sen has been awarded the 2026 Oskar Klein Medal, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive the honour. Sen, an ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair professor at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS)-Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bengaluru, is widely regarded as an architect of modern string theory. The theory postulates that the elementary constituents of matter are tiny one-dimensional, string-like objects instead of point particles. It thus tries to put forth a unifying description for matter and forces between them. Established in 1988 and named after the Swedish theoretical physicist Oskar Klein, the medal is awarded annually by Stockholm University and the Nobel Committee for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Honouring the memory of Klein, the organising committee of the Oskar Klein Memorial Lectures every year invites a distinguished researcher to give a memorial lecture and to receive the Klein medal.

No Expectations, Just Keep Doing Your Work: Bhuvneshwar On India Comeback
New Zealand T20I: India pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said having no expectations from himself and focusing on the work at hand helped him navigate his four-year absence from international cricket, adding that his preparation never suffered despite being away from the national team. Bhuvneshwar returned to the national setup after a four-year absence earlier this month when he was called up for the fifth T20I against the West Indies in Bengaluru as a replacement for injured Arshdeep Singh. However, the match got abandoned due to rain. He finally got to bowl in the 1st T20I against New Zealand. Speaking in a video shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the experienced pacer said the key to his approach over the last three to four years had been staying in the present rather than worrying about the future. The headspace I am in is very simple. I have no expectations of myself. I think thats how things worked out for me in the last 3-4 years. No expectations; just keep doing your work. Generally, we talk about being present; we dont think about the future. I think thats the headspace I am in right now. And that has happened in the last 3-4 years, he said. The 36-year-old said his time away from international cricket had brought maturity and that he had not spent the period actively chasing a comeback. I know I didnt play for the country. But the things I did and the maturity that came in me as a person. I think thats what he taught me: just be in the present, he said. Four years, I never chased this Indian jersey. So honestly, I didnt even know when those four years would come. I think it evolved big time, and I think IPL has a big role in that. The pacer credited the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic cricket for keeping him connected to the game during his international absence. He said he had continued to prepare thoroughly for matches despite not knowing whether another India opportunity would come his way. The last two IPLs were like when I went to IPL; there were zero expectations. I had zero expectations from myself either. But it wasnt like I didnt prepare. I did all the preparation needed to prepare. From fitness to skills and mental aspects, I did all that. But yes, there was zero expectation as to what I would do, he said. Of course, I had to contribute for the team. But I never thought that I would go to IPL like this. That I would get two IPL titles in two years. Bhuvneshwar believes the IPL has also helped him understand the changing demands of T20 cricket, in which batters have become more aggressive and high scores are increasingly common. I know there is an impact player. But that impact player has opened up the batsmans mindset a lot. They go after the ball from the first ball, he said. But I have always believed that we take bowlers as victims. But they are not. I think being a bowler, you can control the game. You can want them to hit where we want. So I think its just a perspective. What we have to do is being a bowler, he added. He added that the game had changed significantly in recent years, not just in franchise cricket but also at the international level. 100%. The game has evolved a lot in the last four years. Not just league cricket. Even international cricket. The way the score is being made. 200 is just a sparse score. When it becomes 200, I think there is something. But yes, it evolved big time, he said. The experienced pacer also highlighted the challenges of playing overseas, particularly in SENA countries, where conditions can be difficult for both batters and bowlers. No, its not a big deal. Because we are a young group. We have been playing for many years. But everyone else is young, he said. When you come on an away tour, its tough. The conditions are different. Generally, we come with expectations. That maybe we will get something from a fast bowler. But for the last four to five years, the way we have been seeing the white ball format, even on Mondays. There is not much support for bowlers, he added. He said conversations among bowlers generally centred on assessing conditions and identifying the best way to execute their plans. Whenever we talk, we talk about very basic things. What are the conditions? What can we do? But what I have realised is that T20 has become such a format where you need a lot of maturity as a bowler, he said. Bhuvneshwar added that winning overseas tournaments brings a special sense of satisfaction and could help build confidence across formats. Whenever we come on a tour, the biggest mindset is to win there. Especially when we come to SENA countries. Its not easy. Whether you are a bowler or a batsman, there are some challenges. And winning in such countries gives you a lot of satisfaction. That you came there, performed, contributed and won the tournament, he said. Reflecting on Indias opening win in the New Zealand T20I series, he said a successful start could have a positive impact on the teams confidence for the remainder of the tour. Whenever we come on a tour, the biggest mindset is to win there. Especially when we come to SENA countries. Its not easy. Whether you are a bowler or a batsman, there are some challenges. And winning in such countries gives you a lot of satisfaction. That you came there, performed, contributed and won the tournament, he said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

The Agony of Loss: Learning to Live with It
The pain and agony of losing someone close to you, particularly a parent, is a heavy psychological and physical experience that registers in the brain much like physical trauma. Many people go through the process of grief at some point in their lives; however, it is often unexpected and causes turmoil and upheaval in life. In this state of intense grief, an individual grapples simultaneously with deep mental suffering and physiological pain. Moreover, agony and grief are not merely temporary feelings or passing emotions; they can fundamentally change our personality, outlook on life, and the way we relate to others. Instead of following a neat, linear timeline, grief comes in waves, with intensity that may gradually fade over time rather than disappear completely. It manifests differently for every person, and one does not simply move on from the loss of a loved one; rather, one learns to carry the weight of that loss and live with it. Anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one experiences an overwhelming sense of helplessness at being unable to prevent that loss. It is in this vulnerable state of mind that we recognise just how fragile life truly is and how unexpectedly its trajectory can change. I personally had to endure the emotional agony of losing my beloved father, Dr Mohd Yousuf Tantray, whom we lovingly called Abu Ji, who had been such a strong and supportive individual in our lives. In our nuclear family of five members, his presence always felt like a world. For us, he is the epitome of love, affection, and dedication both as a father and a husband. Like many Kashmiri families, we often spent time together around the dinner table. I fondly remember his post-dinner conversations where Abu Ji would gently guide us on morals, humility, and clear thinking. His clarity of thought and intellectual humility are qualities we continue to cherish deeply. With a deep commitment to helping others, he devoted his life to teaching and community service. Rising from the position of Lecturer to that of Principal in the Department of Education, Government of Jammu and Kashmir, he earned widespread respect for his honesty, integrity, and strong work ethic. He served as the elected President of the J&K +2 Lecturers Forum for District Anantnag and remained active in community service even after retirement. Holding a PhD in literature, his intellectual passion inspired all three of his children to pursue higher education and academic careers. When I joined the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay in 2023, he was immensely proud. He had always believed in the value of perseverance and hard work, often reminding me, Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds. On a weekday in early October 2025, I had an afternoon flight booked from Mumbai to Srinagar to visit my family in the valley. An urgent morning meeting and Mumbai's notorious traffic nearly made me miss it, and I boarded at the very last moment, excited to be going home after a long time. When I landed in Srinagar, Abu Ji, Mummy, and my younger sibling were waiting to receive me, as they always were. Little did I know that this joy would be short-lived, and that it would be the last time Abu Ji ever received me at the airport. After spending about two precious weeks at home, including a cherished family trip, planned by Abu Ji himself, to Pahalgam on October 13, 2025, my return flight to Mumbai was scheduled for Sunday, October 19, 2025. On the day of my departure, Abu Ji was dealing with low blood pressure, and it was suggested that he rest at home rather than see me off at the airport. I felt a flicker of concern as I left, but nothing seemed truly alarming, and I flew back to Mumbai. The next day, October 20, 2025, was the eve of Diwali. Although it was a holiday at IIT Bombay, I went to my office to work on some research deadlines. Back home, Abu Ji had been taken to SKIMS, where he had been under treatment since 2024, because his blood pressure had still not stabilised. At 5:30 that evening, my phone rang with the incredibly sad news of the passing of Abu Ji. It was a complete shock, and it felt like the sky had fallen on my head. With few people around because of the festival, the helplessness that I experienced in that moment is something that I cannot forget for the rest of my life. My heart refused to accept what had happened, and I kept clinging to the hope of a miracle. That night, I reached Mumbai airport in a state of utter grief. The terminal was lit up and buzzing with festive cheer, and the contrast was unbearable: while the world around me celebrated, mine had fallen apart. I sat with my head in my hands, tears streaming down my face, and understood a cruel truth about how the world works. Life marches regardless of personal tragedy; my night of agony was someone else's night of celebration. The whole night passed in flights and layovers. When I finally landed in Srinagar the next morning, Abu Ji was not there to receive me. I reached home completely broken, and as the reality unfolded before my eyes, I was left thunderstruck, numb, and shattered. Even now, as a year has passed, it remains difficult to process what transpired on that October day in 2025. It constantly feels as though a part of my body has permanently departed; the pain and agony of losing a reliable shoulder to lean on cannot be fully captured in words. Life can feel profoundly unfair. Yet, carrying this enduring suffering becomes an act of expressing love for the departed. In grief, faith offers consolation that reason alone cannot. The Quran reminds us (Al-Baqarah 2:155156): We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, who, when disaster strikes them, say, Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return. May Allah grant Abu Ji the highest abode in Jannah, and grant all who mourn the patience to bear their loss.

Ktaka: Shivakumar reveals suspected sting bid using Meta glasses
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has alleged that an industrialist who met him wearing Meta AI smart glasses may have been attempting to record their conversation as part of a suspected sting operation targeting him and Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. In an interview with a prominent Kannada television channel recently, Shivakumar said he became suspicious when the industrialist, who had obtained an appointment through government officials, shifted the conversation from business to political strategies, including booth-level management and political developments. God has given me power. When they came to conduct a sting operation on me, nobody told me about it. In my experience, if I look at someone's face, I can figure out why they have come to meet me and what is on their mind, Shivakumar said. He said he meets thousands of people every day and believes he can read their intentions from their faces. Recalling the meeting, he said the industrialist initially spoke about business, as expected, but subsequently took him to an antechamber and opened a laptop. He should have spoken to me about business, but he started discussing politics. He explained how booth-level strategies worked and spoke about what they were doing and other political matters. He went on explaining things like a political psephologist. I looked at his face and became suspicious. I then noticed his spectacles, which raised further doubts, Shivakumar said. He said he subsequently directed officials to examine the individual's background and gather information about his meetings with other political leaders. According to Shivakumar, the background check revealed that the industrialist had worn Meta smart glasses during meetings with him and Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan, but not during meetings with Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and a Union Minister. He also referred to a meeting with an IT Minister, during which the individual allegedly did not wear the glasses. He wore the Meta glasses only when he came to V.D. Satheesan and me, Shivakumar said, citing the information gathered during the background check as the basis for his suspicion. However, Shivakumar did not name the industrialist or provide public evidence establishing that the glasses had been used to record either meeting. He also did not disclose the identities of the people allegedly involved in the suspected operation. The Chief Minister said he had obtained documents and maintained records relating to the episode. He indicated that he would disclose further details at an appropriate time. I knew who had been given the task. I have obtained documents and kept records. Not now. When the time comes, I will speak about it. This is not the time to discuss the matter, he said. Asked why no action had been taken against those allegedly involved in the sting operation, Shivakumar rejected the suggestion that the authorities had remained inactive. Who said no action has been taken? You just don't know. We are not disclosing it, that's all. We have taken all precautionary measures, he said. He maintained that the government had taken steps in response to the suspected operation but declined to provide details of the measures or any action initiated. Shivakumar further alleged that there was a plan to conduct sting operations targeting ministers in his Cabinet and warned that attempts could be made to entrap them through people working around them, telephone calls or other means. He said he had cautioned his Cabinet colleagues to remain vigilant and avoid falling into such traps. I knew that there was a plan to carry out sting operations against ministers around me. I knew who had been given the task. I indeed cautioned my Cabinet colleagues. As the head of the government, which is like a family, I had to tell them not to get trapped. What's wrong with that? he said. Shivakumar reiterated that he had informed the ministers as a precautionary measure and would reveal further information only when he considered the time appropriate. He maintained that he had documented the episode and possessed information about those who might have been involved, but said he would not disclose the names or records at this stage. The allegations have raised questions about the suspected use of wearable technology in political meetings. However, the Chief Minister's account, as presented in the interview, did not establish that the smart glasses had actually recorded conversations or that a sting operation had been conclusively carried out.
