Karnataka: Kumaraswamy alleges Rs 3 lakh crore NICE 'scam', questions CM Shivakumars asset rise

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 29 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel, H.D. Kumaraswamy, on Tuesday made allegations against Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and questioned how his assets had grown from Rs 4 crore in 2003 to Rs 1,413 crore in 2023. H.D. Kumaraswamy alleged that the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) popularly known as the NICE project, was a scam worth more than Rs 3 lakh crore. The NICE project is an infrastructure initiative aimed at improving road connectivity between Bengaluru and Mysuru through a tolled expressway and associated townships. The project is being implemented by Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprises (NICE), promoted by Ashok Kheny. Challenging the state government to take action against the alleged irregularities, Kumaraswamy said Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar should resign if the government lacked the courage to act. Kumaraswamy alleged that Shivakumar and his brother, former Congress MP D.K. Suresh, had misused the legislative and executive machinery in a joint operation that adversely affected farmers and facilitated large-scale irregularities in the BMIC project. Addressing the alleged irregularities in the NICE project, Kumaraswamy claimed that the case was bigger than the 2G spectrum scam and promised to release further documents in subsequent parts of his alleged expose. However, the allegations and the documents cited by Kumaraswamy would require examination by the relevant authorities to establish the facts. The BMIC project was initiated in 1995 during the tenure of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda (Kumaraswamy's father). However, Kumaraswamy alleged that the project's original objectives were subsequently altered, turning it into a major land-related controversy that hurt farmers' interests. According to him, the 1997 Framework Agreement had earmarked 6,999 acres for the road project. However, in 2002, when D.K. Shivakumar was the Urban Development Minister and chairman of the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Planning Authority (BMICPA), the alignment of the project was changed, allegedly paving the way for large-scale irregularities. Citing documents, Kumaraswamy claimed that land earmarked for townships was reduced without Cabinet approval, while the land allocated for the toll road was increased to 9,468 acres. He further alleged that 10 to 12 lakes were destroyed during the process. Kumaraswamy also raised questions over the purchase of land by D.K. Suresh in 2004, despite the land having been notified for the NICE project in 1997. He alleged that a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) was subsequently obtained from the NICE company for the same land before it was transferred to Shobha Developers. Questioning how land notified for a public project could be acquired by the brothers, Kumaraswamy sought an explanation on the circumstances under which the company issued the NOC. In another allegation, Kumaraswamy claimed that seven acres belonging to Siddaganga Mutt had been taken for the project, of which only one acre was used for the road. He alleged that the remaining land was not returned despite requests for it to be handed back for an orphanage. He further claimed that the NICE company had issued NOCs to more than 420 people, including a person employed as a cook at the residence of one of the individuals concerned. Kumaraswamy alleged that NICE promoter Ashok Kheny had not invested any money from his personal funds in the project and had instead raised loans from banks by mortgaging government land. He also referred to judicial observations that, according to him, had raised serious questions about the government's handling of the project. Calling for action against the alleged irregularities, Kumaraswamy urged the government to investigate the matter and fix responsibility. He also appealed to the public not to pay toll on the NICE Road, alleging that there was an attempt to acquire and appropriate 1,25,000 acres of land through notifications. Kumaraswamy said he would not allow the issue to end with his initial disclosures and announced plans to launch a public movement and pursue legal action. He said more documents would be released in Parts 2 and 3 of his expose. Offering to participate in an open debate on the issue on the steps of Vidhana Soudha, Kumaraswamy challenged the state government to take action against the alleged irregularities, adding that he would personally honour D.K. Shivakumar if action was taken.

Chikkaballapur terror conspiracy case: Karnataka court remands 2 suspects to 4-day police custody

Digital Desk | Chikkaballapur (Karnataka), Sep 29 (IANS) A local court in Chikkaballapur on Tuesday remanded two suspected terrorists, who were allegedly involved in discussions to carry out subversive and terror-related activities, to four days of police custody for further investigation. The accused, identified as Shabbir, a resident of Bapujinagar in Chikkaballapur, and Salman, reportedly from North India, were produced before the Chikkaballapur Principal Civil and JMFC Court. The police had sought five days of custody, but the court granted four days for further investigation. The Chikkaballapur City Police arrested the duo in connection with an alleged terror conspiracy involving discussions on a Telegram group. Police have registered a case under Section 113 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and are investigating the groups conversations, its members and their possible links. According to preliminary information, the accused allegedly created or participated in a Telegram group where discussions were held about carrying out terror-related and disruptive activities. Investigators are probing whether the discussions progressed beyond the messaging platform and resulted in any concrete preparations. Police are also investigating allegations that members of the group discussed kidnapping wealthy individuals to raise funds for terror-related activities. Shabbir is reportedly believed to have joined the group around four months ago. Investigators are also examining an allegation that the group administrator had promised weapons training to members after a specified period. As part of the investigation, police are examining Shabbirs mobile phone and other digital evidence. They are also attempting to identify and trace other members of the Telegram group and establish their locations and possible links. Reacting to the arrests, senior BJP leader and Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka had demanded immediate security for BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, former BJP MP Pratap Simha and BJP MLC C.T. Ravi, claiming that they were among the alleged targets of the conspiracy. Ashoka had claimed that four persons had allegedly drawn up a plan to kill Yatnal, Pratap Simha and C.T. Ravi and that one of those allegedly involved had been arrested. In Chikkaballapur, a team of four terrorists had sketched a plan to kill MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, former BJP MP Pratap Simha and BJP MLC C.T. Ravi. The government should immediately provide security to these leaders, Ashoka had said in Bengaluru. Ashoka also alleged that the number of such people had increased after the Congress government came to power. However, police have not independently confirmed his claims regarding the alleged targets or the number of people involved. The investigation is continuing, and police have not publicly confirmed that any attack was carried out or that the alleged plans progressed beyond discussions on Telegram. Investigators are expected to establish the identities of other people allegedly involved, the motive behind the discussions and whether any concrete preparations were made.

K'taka BJP chief urges Cong not to undermine public trust in EC; focus on drought situation

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 29 (IANS) BJP State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Tuesday said making statements that create distrust among the public against constitutional institutions such as the Election Commission was not appropriate, and urged Congress leaders to refrain from making allegations against such institutions. Addressing a press conference at the BJP office in Bengaluru, Vijayendra said elections involved both victories and defeats, and political parties should accept the outcome instead of questioning constitutional institutions after losing. Making statements that create distrust among the public against constitutional institutions such as the Election Commission is not right. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in power at the Centre, and Congress and other parties have won elections and formed governments in different states. Victory and defeat are natural in elections. But blaming constitutional institutions after a defeat is not appropriate for democracy, he said. Questioning the Congress leaders allegations against the Election Commission and Chief Election Commissioner, Vijayendra said they should not make statements that tarnish constitutional institutions. He also questioned why similar concerns were not raised when the sons of Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai lost elections. Vijayendra said the Congress leaders should not attempt to create doubts among people about the electoral system. Congress leaders and Mallikarjun Kharge should not make statements that bring a black mark on constitutional institutions. If they believe they can come to power at the Centre through such propaganda, that is far from reality, he said. Vijayendra alleged that the Congress government was not responding adequately to the plight of farmers despite the severe drought situation in Karnataka. He said the BJP had demanded in both Houses of the legislature that farmers be provided at least Rs 50,000 compensation per acre. However, the government had provided only Rs 2,500 to farmers, which he said was inadequate. The government should provide at least Rs 50,000 per acre as compensation. If it cannot provide compensation because the states financial condition has deteriorated, it should openly admit it, he said. Vijayendra said farmers were facing distress and alleged that the government had failed to provide adequate relief, loan support and sufficient power supply. He also demanded at least five hours of three-phase electricity every day for farmers and said the government should purchase power from other states if necessary. Vijayendra demanded that Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar issue a white paper on the states financial condition. Referring to a letter from the Finance Department, he said the communication had raised serious questions about Karnatakas finances. He alleged that the government was finding it difficult to implement its guarantee schemes and said beneficiaries of social security schemes, including pensions for senior citizens and persons with disabilities, were facing delays in receiving funds. He also alleged that basic programmes such as housing for the poor were being affected while the government was providing opportunities to political workers through guarantee implementation committees. The government should immediately stop using taxpayers money for political workers. The government is accountable for taxpayers money, Vijayendra said. The state BJP chief also sought clarification from the government over allegations concerning a video conference purportedly held by Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara. He said beneficiaries of government schemes should be selected based on their needs and eligibility rather than lists allegedly provided by Congress workers. Vijayendra said the BJP would organise Seva Sankalpa programmes from October 1 to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modis 25 years of public service. He said he would tour various districts as part of the programme and participate in the activities. Vijayendra also said the party would strengthen its organisation from the booth level and prepare workers for the upcoming local body elections. Reacting to KPCC president B.K. Hariprasads statement that he would undertake a padayatra from Shikaripura, Vijayendra said that he welcomed the move. He may have been inspired by our Ballari Chalo padayatra. Our padayatra helped bring down the arrogance of the state government. If he wants to undertake a padayatra, I welcome it, he said. Vijayendra said Shikaripura was the place where his political career began and was associated with the political legacy of former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa. He challenged Hariprasad to visit Shikaripura, undertake the padayatra and compare its development with the constituencies represented by the Chief Minister and other Congress leaders. Vijayendra said the state government should first fulfil its responsibility towards farmers before taking an all-party delegation to the Centre. Provide Rs 50,000 compensation per acre as demanded unanimously by the Opposition. Waive farmers loans. If the states financial condition has deteriorated to such an extent that compensation cannot be provided, admit it openly. Calling a special session and merely blaming the Centre will not solve farmers problems, he said. He also demanded that the government provide adequate three-phase power to farmers and take steps to purchase electricity from other states if required. Responding to Hariprasads statement that the BJP and RSS should be driven out of Bengaluru, Vijayendra said Congress leaders should first remember how many times people had rejected them in elections. On the letter written by contractors to the Chief Minister seeking the release of pending bills, Vijayendra said the government should provide details of the increase in the states debt over the past three years instead of blaming the BJP. He alleged that Karnatakas debt had increased substantially under the Congress government and demanded a comprehensive white paper on the states finances, borrowing, expenditure on guarantee schemes and spending on other programmes. Put the complete account of the states financial condition, debt, expenditure on guarantees and expenditure on other programmes before the people. Stop using taxpayers money for political purposes, Vijayendra said.

Belagavi woman allegedly killed by husband after seeking divorce

Digital Desk | Belagavi (Karnataka), Sep 29 (IANS) A 31-year-old woman was allegedly killed on Tuesday by her husband after she sought a divorce, in Amaturu village of Bailahongala taluk in Belagavi district. The deceased has been identified as Lakshmi Madamageri, a resident of Gollara Oni in Bailahingala town. Her husband, Raju Madamageri, allegedly attacked her with a stone, killing her on the spot, and fled from the scene. He is currently absconding. According to police, Raju and Lakshmi had fallen in love and got married around five years ago. However, the couple had developed differences over the past few years, following which Lakshmi had reportedly sought a divorce from Raju. Police said Raju allegedly took Lakshmi from her work place near Amaturu on the pretext of dropping her home. He then allegedly attacked her with a stone and bludgeoned her to death before fleeing the spot. Following the incident, Bailahongala police launched a search for Raju and are making efforts to trace and arrest him. A case has been registered and further investigation is underway. It can be recalled that in December 2025, in Bengaluru, Bhuvaneshwari, a 39-year-old bank assistant manager, was shot dead on a road in west Bengaluru by her estranged husband, Balamurugan, a week after she sent him a divorce notice. The accused surrendered at the Magadi Road police station. The victim, Bhuvaneshwari, 39, was an assistant manager at the Basaveshwaranagar branch of Union Bank of India and lived in Rajajinagar with her two children. She was shot at close range by her husband, Balamurugan, 40, on 1st Main Road in the Rajajinagar Industrial Area around 6.30 p.m. Police said the accused fired four rounds at close range as she was returning home from work. He used to work at Capgemini, a multinational IT company. In January 2026, a divorced woman named Ranjita was stabbed to death in Yellapur after she allegedly refused a marriage proposal from a man named Rafiq. The accused later died by suicide, and the incident led to local protests. In August 2022, a 24-year-old woman, Chaitra, was hacked to death by her estranged husband, Shivakumar, inside the Holenarsipur court premises in Hassan district immediately following a divorce mediation session.

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 28 (IANS) Responding to Congress criticism of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, on Monday said the sticks carried by RSS members during route marches were part of their ceremonial uniform and had never been used to commit injustice or attack anyone in the organisations 100-year history. Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Narayanaswamy said, It is not a weapon. It is only part of the uniform worn during the route march. In 100 years, no one has been cheated, wronged or deceived by carrying the uniform. No one has been beaten with that stick. Taking a dig at the Congress, he asked whether anyone could drive people out of Bengaluru, adding that the partys earlier methods belonged to a different era. Those were the days when people used to roam around carrying swords. Can they do that now? he asked. Narayanaswamy alleged that, apart from what he described as fabricated statements by the Congress against the RSS, no cases were pending against the organisation. He said Home Minister Priyank Kharge, a strong opponent of the RSS, had himself stated that no cases were pending against it. He also questioned the value of recent remarks made by senior Congress leader B.K. Hariprasad. He criticised the Congress over the Vande Mataram controversy, saying, This is not the era of swords. This is the era of Vande Mataram. We used to sing the entire song in the Assembly. Why did the Congress stop it? Targeting KPCC president B.K. Hariprasad, Narayanaswamy alleged that his political style was based on hitting, beating and cutting. He further alleged that Congress workers had been sent to throw stones at his residence over his remarks on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Narayanaswamy claimed that Karnataka had a large number of Bangladeshi nationals after West Bengal and alleged that Congress leaders were sheltering them. He said some were working in coffee estates and hotels and claimed their presence in Bengaluru, Shivamogga, Dharwad and Kalaburagi. Referring to the SIR exercise in Kerala, Narayanaswamy said Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala had stated that the exercise benefited the party by preventing bogus voting by Communists. He questioned why the Congress was not alleging vote theft in Kerala. He also alleged that the Congress had not raised the issue of vote theft after winning 136 seats in Karnataka or after winning in Telangana. There has been no vote theft in the country. Voters did not vote for the Congress thieves, he said.
