NICE project: Kumaraswamy accuses Shivakumar of deal with Hyderabad businessman

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 2 (IANS) Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday accused Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of attempting to take over the NICE project in collusion with Hyderabad-based businessman Mahesh Reddy. The NICE (Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise) project is a major infrastructure initiative conceived to develop a road corridor connecting Bengaluru and Mysuru, along with peripheral roads and associated infrastructure. The project involved the acquisition of large tracts of agricultural and other land from several villages in Karnataka. Kumaraswamy alleged that Mahesh Reddy, who is based in Hyderabad and is involved in real estate and other businesses, had joined hands with Shivakumar to take over the entire NICE project and exploit the land acquired for it. He also alleged that several influential persons were involved in the alleged attempt. Addressing reporters after meeting people who had lost land for the NICE project, Kumaraswamy alleged that land acquired for the road project was being used for real estate activities. Your cup of sins is full, Kumaraswamy said, targeting Shivakumar. You can acquire 10,000 acres, but do it legally and earn through the right means. Who has stopped you? The Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway has already been built. Why is another road required? he asked. He alleged that 1.75 lakh acres had been identified between Bengaluru and Mysuru and claimed that there was an attempt to exploit the land. Kumaraswamy further alleged that a red carpet was being rolled out for Telangana-based businessman Mahesh Reddy. How many crores is the deal for? I have all the information about who Mahesh Reddy is. The time will come when everything will be revealed, he said. Kumaraswamy stated that the Karnataka High Court had already made strong observations regarding the NICE project and that the NICE company had approached the Supreme Court challenging them. He said the matter was scheduled to come up for hearing on October 5 and that the farmers agitation would take a new turn thereafter. Responding to allegations that he himself owned land within the NICE project area, Kumaraswamy challenged Shivakumar to prove it. If it is proved that I have purchased even a piece of land in the NICE project area, I will publicly hang myself, he said. Kumaraswamy said he had already released the first set of documents alleging irregularities involving Shivakumar and the NICE contractor and claimed that several more sets of documents would be released. He alleged that Shivakumar had acquired around 200 to 300 acres in the B.M. Kaval area and questioned how the land had been purchased and why it was acquired within the NICE project area. Taking members of the media and the public to the area, Kumaraswamy claimed that the land was fertile agricultural land and alleged that around 300 acres belonged to the Chief Minister. Kumaraswamy said he had purchased 44 acres in Bidadi before entering politics and claimed that he was using the land for agriculture and animal husbandry and not for real estate activities. If I have illegally acquired even one inch of land, I will immediately retire from politics, he said. He also accused Shivakumar of threatening innocent people and taking away their land. Kumaraswamy said he would continue the agitation until land lost by farmers was returned. Kumaraswamy demanded the immediate arrest of NICE promoter Ashok Kheny, alleging that Kheny had made derogatory remarks against Shivakumara Mahaswamiji. He accused the Chief Minister of protecting Kheny and alleged that the two were working together in matters related to the NICE project. Kumaraswamy further alleged that Kheny had exploited property belonging to Siddaganga Mutt and accused Shivakumar of supporting him. I am not fighting this for political gain. My objective is to get the land back to the farmers, he said. He alleged that Shivakumar and Mahesh Reddy had conspired to exploit land in the NICE project area and said he would not allow it. Kumaraswamy also claimed that attempts had been made to persuade him to stay away from the NICE issue. Why do you need to get involved in the NICE issue? Stay silent and take whatever you want, Kumaraswamy claimed he was told through intermediaries. He said he had rejected such approaches and alleged that attempts had been made to offer him financial support, including funds for election expenses. I cannot be bought by anyone. I am a man of the people. I live for the people and am ready to give my life for them, he said. Kumaraswamy stated that he was under considerable pressure to stop the agitation ahead of the elections. He alleged that instead of responding to the questions he had raised and the documents he had released, his opponents were attempting to divert attention by discussing other matters. Kumaraswamy said he had travelled along the NICE Road from Madavara to Electronic City and met people affected by the project at several locations. He said meetings were held at different places to hear the grievances of affected people, with a larger meeting organised at Sompura. Our struggle will not end here. A major agitation will be organised along with the people. Our protest will remain peaceful, he said. Kumaraswamy said another meeting of key leaders would be convened soon and that the next course of action would be decided after the Supreme Court hearing on October 5. He appealed to people who had lost their land not to lose hope and assured them of his support. Kumaraswamy began his tour around 10 a.m. and first inspected land near the NICE toll plaza at Madavara. He later visited Thotadaguddahalli, Anchepalya, Tirumalapura, K.G. Srikantapura, Ganganahalli, Kachohalli, Hosahalli, Gollarahatti, Kodigehalli, Ramasandra, Kommaghatta, Kengeri, Electronic City, Konappana Agrahara, Begur, Sompura, B.M. Kaval, Talaghattapura and several other villages. He received petitions from affected residents and assured them that efforts would be made to address their grievances. At B.M. Kaval, Kumaraswamy also inspected what he alleged was 200 to 300 acres of land belonging to Shivakumar. He claimed that the land was located at the unfinished end of the NICE Road. Kumaraswamy was accompanied by Legislative Council member Javare Gowda, former MLA A. Manjunath, Greater Bengaluru JD(S) president H.M. Ramesh Gowda, senior leader Rudresh and others.

Congress' vote theft charge like Bhagavad Gita from demons mouth: Kumaraswamy

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 2 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday accused the Congress government in Karnataka of hypocrisy over its protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, alleging that the ruling party had itself committed widespread irregularities during the initial stages of the exercise. In a statement, Kumaraswamy said it was shameful that the Congress party was now speaking against irregularities in the SIR process. He also criticised Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and his Cabinet colleagues for staging a protest on the streets instead of attending the Cabinet meeting. He demanded that the police immediately register cases against Congress leaders who, he alleged, had disrupted traffic and caused inconvenience to the public by staging the protest. Congress unnecessarily making a commotion over vote theft is like the Bhagavad Gita coming from the mouth of a demon, Kumaraswamy said. He alleged that Congress workers had gathered in large numbers at various places, including marriage halls, community halls and houses, during the electoral roll revision process. We have seen them gathering people in groups at marriage halls, community halls, houses and various other places and getting the electoral rolls revised. The Janata Dal (Secular) had complained to the Election Commission against this. Later, all the leaders of the NDA alliance also approached the Commission and submitted a complaint, he said. Kumaraswamy said the government had remained silent when the complaints were submitted, but was now raising the issue of alleged irregularities in the SIR process. Despite this, the Congress leaders who committed irregularities themselves are now repeatedly talking about irregularities. The government remained silent when we submitted complaints, and is speaking now. They have started this drama after their leaders in Delhi put pressure on them, he alleged. Kumaraswamy also alleged that Chief Minister Shivakumar had brought the SIR issue to the forefront to divert public attention from allegations concerning the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (NICE) project. He said that three days earlier, he had held a press conference on the NICE project and made allegations, supported by documents, against the Chief Minister and his family members regarding the alleged acquisition of project land in collusion with the company. While this issue is being widely discussed politically and publicly, the Chief Minister has brought the SIR issue to the forefront to divert people's attention, Kumaraswamy alleged. He said the alleged irregularities were evident and did not require further proof. Kumaraswamy concluded by reiterating his criticism of the Congress government and used the hashtag CongressFailsKarnataka in his statement. It can be recalled that CM Shivakumar on Thursday staged a dharna at the Chief Electoral Officers office in Bengaluru, demanding the registration of a criminal case and a probe into the alleged conspiracy to delete eligible voters' names through Form 7 applications. After the protest, Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V. Anbukumar directed Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) across the state to take action against applicants found to have knowingly made false declarations while filing claims and objections related to electoral rolls.

BJP workers will not be intimidated by FIR threats; prove allegations or resign: Vijayendra to CM Shivakumar on SIR row

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 2 (IANS) BJP workers will not be intimidated by threats of FIRs or political pressure for submitting Form-7 applications, Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said on Friday, asserting that the party will legally fight any cases registered against its workers. Vijayendra further challenged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to prove the allegations he made against the BJP, failing which he should resign as Chief Minister. Chief Minister Shivakumar has alleged that the BJP and JD(S) had conspired to delete the names of 50 lakh voters belonging to minority and oppressed communities from the electoral rolls. He, along with cabinet colleagues, staged a dharna on Thursday in front of the office of Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V. Anbukumar, following which the CEO issued a written order directing officials to initiate criminal cases against individuals found to be submitting bulk Form-7 applications seeking deletion of names. Speaking to the media in Bengaluru on Friday, Vijayendra said threatening BJP workers or exerting political pressure on them merely for submitting Form-7 applications was not appropriate. If anyone has submitted an application by providing false information, the Election Commission should verify it and initiate legal action. But the BJP will not tolerate threats of filing FIRs targeting its workers for political reasons, he said. Vijayendra said the Chief Minister had put pressure on the Election Commission and threatened to have FIRs registered against BJP workers. He alleged that the Chief Minister was trying to turn the entire state into an FIR state and asserted that the BJP would not bow to such pressure. He said the BJP had the strength and capability to face all such threats. Even if a thousand FIRs are registered, there is no question of being afraid. We will fight such FIRs in court, he said. He said the party would, through legal means, face any case that needed to be contested within the framework of law. Vijayendra said questions similar to those raised in Mysuru's Narasimharaja Assembly constituency had also emerged in other constituencies, including Bengaluru. Complaints related to electoral rolls had also been received from border areas of Dakshina Kannada, he said, urging the Election Commission to examine all such complaints. He said before levelling allegations against the BJP, CM Shivakumar and the Congress should also clarify complaints related to electoral rolls involving local Congress workers and representatives. If anyone has violated the rules in the Form-7 or SIR process, whether they belong to the BJP, Congress, JD(S) or any other organisation, the Election Commission should take action according to law, he said. Our position is clear: the rights of eligible voters must be protected, and if there are ineligible names, they should be verified, Vijayendra said. Vijayendra alleged that Shivakumar was politicising the SIR issue to divert public attention from other issues facing the state. He said the government was facing several serious questions, including those related to KPSC recruitment, allegations by contractors, drought and the state's financial situation. At a time when the government should answer all these questions, staging a protest before the Election Commission and levelling allegations against the BJP is an attempt to divert public attention, he alleged. Vijayendra said the SIR process was being conducted under the supervision of the Election Commission and called for every Form-7 application to be examined irrespective of which political party or organisation had submitted it. The Election Commission should act in such a way that the names of eligible voters remain on the rolls and ineligible names are removed according to the rules, he said. He said the Chief Minister should cooperate in ensuring a transparent electoral process instead of exerting political pressure on the Election Commission. Vijayendra said a Chief Minister making allegations that there was a conspiracy to delete the votes of Dalits, backward classes, and minorities should produce documents supporting the charges. When a Chief Minister accuses a political party of conspiring to delete the votes of Dalits, backward classes and minorities, he must provide documents to support the allegation. It is not possible to simply make allegations and walk away. The responsibility to prove the allegation rests with the Chief Minister, he said. Vijayendra once again challenged Shivakumar to prove his allegations against the BJP. He said protecting the rights of eligible voters was the BJP's responsibility and that cleansing the electoral rolls was necessary for the electoral process. He said the Election Commission and the BJP were working to prevent irregularities in the SIR process. However, he alleged that Rahul Gandhi was threatening the Election Commission, an autonomous institution. Vijayendra said that Rahul Gandhi appeared to be under the illusion that the Congress would come to power at the Centre after every election. Looking at his situation, one feels sorry for him, he said. He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modis popularity was continuing to grow and that the people of the country had accepted his leadership.

K'taka BJP challenges CM Shivakumar to prove conspiracy allegation over deletion of 50 lakh voters

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 2 (IANS) Karnataka BJP President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra on Friday challenged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to prove his allegation that the BJP had conspired to delete the names of around 50 lakh voters from the electoral rolls, and demanded that he resign if he failed to substantiate the charge. Speaking to the media, Vijayendra said CM Shivakumars allegations against the BJP over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process and Form-7 applications were serious, particularly his claim that the BJP was conspiring to remove the votes of Ahinda communities, Dalits, backward classes and minorities. As the Chief Minister himself has made such a serious allegation, he should prove it with documentary evidence. Otherwise, he should resign from the post of Chief Minister, Vijayendra said. Shivakumar has alleged that there was a conspiracy to remove the names of around 50 lakh voters. However, Vijayendra said the Chief Minister had not publicly produced any specific documents or evidence to support the allegation. Vijayendra said Form-7 was not a special instrument available only to the BJP. Under Election Commission rules, it is a legal provision through which objections can be filed against names in the electoral rolls in cases involving ineligible, deceased, shifted or duplicate voters. He said if the BJP or any other political party or eligible individual submitted Form-7 applications with the intention of helping clean up the electoral rolls, the final decision would rest with the election authorities. Submission of Form-7 does not automatically result in the deletion of anyones name from the electoral roll, he said, adding that portraying the right to file Form-7 objections as illegal was incorrect. Vijayendra said Shivakumar should place before the people the documents and evidence on which he had based his allegation that the BJP was conspiring to delete 50 lakh voters. According to the information available to the BJP, he said, the number of Form-7 applications filed across the state was much lower than the figure alleged by the Chief Minister. He also said Form-7 applications had not been filed only by BJP workers. Representatives of various political parties, Booth Level Officers and members of the public had also submitted objections. Vijayendra said different figures regarding the number of Form-7 applications had been reported recently and that the Election Commission should clarify the final official figure. He said the power to add or delete names from electoral rolls or decide on objections rested with the competent election authorities. The BJP has no authority to directly delete anyones name from the electoral roll. A name does not get deleted merely because a Form-7 application is submitted. A decision is taken only after the prescribed process, including verification, objections and inquiry, he said. He said the Chief Ministers direct allegation that the BJP was deleting voters names was contrary to these facts. Vijayendra said verification of electoral rolls was an essential part of the democratic electoral process to find names of deceased persons, duplicate registrations, voters who had shifted residence or people who were otherwise ineligible. If there are irregular names, they should be identified and verified. At the same time, not a single eligible voter should be unfairly removed. The Election Commission should transparently ensure both these aspects, he said. Vijayendra also sought verification of the increase in the number of voters in the Narasimharaja Assembly constituency in Mysuru. He said the BJP had raised the issue of an increase of around 1.30 lakh voters in the constituency over the last two elections. He also said information had come to the partys attention about questions being raised locally regarding some people who had approached authorities during the SIR process to get their names added to the electoral roll. There are questions about some people who are residing in other constituencies but are coming here to register their names, he said. Vijayendra said that if such cases existed, the Election Commission should conduct a comprehensive verification without considering which political party the individuals were associated with. CM Shivakumar on Thursday staged a dharna at the Chief Electoral Officers office in Bengaluru, demanding the registration of a criminal case and a probe into the alleged conspiracy to delete eligible voters' names through Form 7 applications. After the protest, Karnataka Chief Electoral Officer V. Anbukumar has directed Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) across the state to take action against applicants found to have knowingly made false declarations while filing claims and objections related to electoral rolls.

CM Shivakumar appeals to party leaders to report bulk Form 7 applications

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 1 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday appealed to Congress booth-level agents (BLAs), party leaders and workers to provide details of alleged bulk submissions of Form 7 applications seeking deletion of names from electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. In two videos shared on social media, Shivakumar urged BLAs, BLA-1s, BLA-2s and other party leaders to coordinate with booth-level officers (BLOs) and verify whether objections had been filed against voters in their respective Assembly constituencies and polling booths. Shivakumar alleged that some BJP leaders were submitting Form 7 applications in bulk to get voters' names deleted from the electoral rolls, particularly targeting minorities, Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. These allegations have not been independently established. He said he had received reports of such instances from Belagavi, Bhalki, Mudigere, Mysuru and several other parts of Karnataka, including constituencies represented by Congress MLAs. Referring to the alleged misuse of Form 7 in the Aland constituency, he claimed that attempts were being made to challenge Congress electorally through such means. The Chief Minister asked party leaders to collect authenticated information on the number of applications submitted and the constituencies and polling booths affected. He requested them to send the details to his office and email address before noon. CM Shivakumar said he had already sought information from the police, Deputy Commissioners and the Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka regarding the applications and alleged irregularities. He said he would take stringent action on the matter to ensure that eligible voters were not deprived of their voting rights. Emphasising that the right to vote must be protected irrespective of political affiliation, religion or social background, Shivakumar said every genuine voter's name should remain on the electoral roll. Form 7 is used to submit claims or objections seeking the deletion of a name from the electoral roll. Such applications are subject to verification under election rules. The controversy in Karnataka centres on allegations that bulk submissions could be used to seek the deletion of eligible voters' names.

IGPL Invitational 2026: Aryan Roopa Anand leads as Blue Bulls make the charge

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Young Aryan Roopa Anand produced a classy 6-under 66 in the opening round of the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) to take the outright lead, firing a sparkling six-under-66 at the Qutab Golf Course in New Delhi on Wednesday. It also gave his own team, Delhi Blue Bulls, who are playing at home, an early boost. With his team captain Shiv Kapur, who was runner-up at the last event in Ras AL Khaimah, also getting off to a good start with a 4-under 68, the Blue Bulls were well-placed in the team stakes. Young pro Sawai Hamendra Singh Bhati, who has shown promise in his past few appearances, and the experienced Sachin Baisoya, an IGPL winner in Mauritius, carded five-under 67s to share second place. Delhi Blue Bulls were in the lead in the team standings with contributions from Aryan and Kapur, and they were 10-under. Vimtra Chennai Lions, whose pillar is Gaganjeet Bhullar, and Green Fuels Vizag Dolphins, whose top star today was M Dharma, were tied second at 7-under. The crowded Day One leaderboard had a fascinating mix of youth and experience, as eight players, including one woman, Kashika Mishra, were tied fourth. The bunch included the pedigreed Shiv Kapur, the highly consistent Gaganjeet Bhullar, Varun Parikh, Arjun Prasad, making only his second IGPL start, veteran M. Dharma, Rohit Baisoya and Shaurya Binu. They all carded 4-under 68 each. Manav Shah, who had qualified for the US Open, was T-12 at 3-under 69, while Karandeep Kochhar (71) was T-21. Varun Chopra (72), the winner in Ras Al Khaimah, had a modest start with an even-par card that placed him T-26. The youngest member of Delhi Blue Bulls, Aryan, a Mysuru-born emerging star, is recognised as one of India's top rising golf talents since he transitioned to the professional circuit in 2023 after a highly decorated amateur career during which he won back-to-back All India Amateur titles. Earlier this year, he secured his maiden professional victory on the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) Tour at the IGPL Invitational Congo in April, where he beat former Olympian Udayan Mane in a tense three-hole playoff. The win earned him an invite to play the $2 million International Series Morocco on the Asian Tour. Speaking of his team, Aryan said, I couldn't have asked to play for a better team. We've got a great number of owners, very supportive of our needs. Also, as a team, I think we share the closest bond as teammates with each other. So our camaraderie is honestly unmatched, especially for me, because I'm considerably younger than all of them. I look up to them as mentors and, you know, they've really taken that role on and kind of helped me grow as a golfer too over the course of these last three to four 4 months. I think I'm pretty happy because it's home week for us and it's good to see the, you know, team on the top of the leaderboard and myself too, and Shiv Sir is right behind there, he said. On his game in the first round, he added, My short game was pretty good today, so I converted a lot of birdies from close range. And when I did go off, on some of the holes, I did use my short game to, you know, kind of save the score. So I guess my short game kind of helped me a lot. Aryan started from the first, birdied the third and the fourth before dropping his only shot of the day on the Par-3 sixth. He made up for it with a birdie on the eighth to turn in 2-under 34. On the back nine, Aryan birdied the 11th to get to 3-under. Then over the last four holes, he found three birdies on the 15th, 16th and the 18th for a days work of 6-under. He missed a few more makeable putts but had no three-putts on a solid day. For Aryan, the early lead adds another layer to what has already been an encouraging IGPL season. The young golfers performance at Qutab was particularly significant for the Delhi Blue Bulls, who are looking to make an impact on their home course. Sawai Bhati had six birdies against one bogey, while Sachin Baisoya, who is looking for his second IGPL win, had six birdies and one late bogey in his 67. Kapur, meanwhile, opened with a solid four-under 68 to share fourth place with five other players. The former Asian Games gold medallist is coming into the Delhi leg with unfinished business after his dramatic battle with Varun Chopra in Ras Al Khaimah last week. Kapur had appeared in control of the Ras Al Khaimah event after opening with a spectacular 10-under 62, including a hole-in-one, and carried a three-shot lead into the final round. But Chopra produced a decisive closing 68 to finish at 14-under 202 and claim his maiden IGPL title. Bhullar, one of the most successful players in IGPL history, was also among those sharing fourth place after a four-under 68. Bhullar, Indias most decorated player on the Asian Tour, has already won four IGPL titles, making him the league's most decorated player and a constant threat whenever he tees it up.

Digital Desk | Mysuru, Sep 29 (IANS) In a shocking incident, a man allegedly poured petrol over himself. He forcibly embraced a young woman after she rejected his love proposal near Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering in Mysuru on Tuesday. Both sustained burn injuries, with the man reportedly suffering around 80 per cent burns and the woman about 20 per cent. The man has been identified as Chandan, a resident of Alagodu village in Malavalli taluk of Mandya district. He allegedly pursued the young woman, who is from the same village, and became upset after she rejected his advances. According to preliminary information, the woman was on her way to college from a hostel in Vijayanagar when Chandan intercepted her a short distance away. He reportedly poured petrol over himself and then forcibly embraced her, putting her life at risk. The woman managed to escape from his grip, while police and bystanders intervened. Chandan sustained severe burn injuries and was shifted to K.R. Hospital in Mysuru, where he is battling for his life. The woman also sustained burns and is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mysuru. The distressed young woman, supported by her parents, lodged a complaint at Vijayanagar Police Station. Police are investigating the circumstances leading to the incident, including the sequence of events and how she sustained injuries. Preliminary investigation revealed that Chandan, who was staying at a hostel in Vijayanagar and pursuing a diploma in engineering, had been insisting on a relationship despite repeated rejection. Angered by this, he allegedly appeared suddenly when the woman was leaving for college, poured petrol over himself and attempted to embrace her tightly. Sensing danger, the woman freed herself and ran away. However, she sustained burns on around 20 per cent of her body due to the intensity of the fire. Police confirmed she is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city.

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.

Ktaka BJP demands Shivakumars apology over farmers concerns

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 28 (IANS) Former MLA and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha State President A.S. Patil Nadahalli on Monday accused the Karnataka government, including Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and ministers, of failing to take the drought situation seriously. He demanded that the Chief Minister apologise to the people for his alleged remarks about farmers during the special Assembly session. Addressing the media at the BJP state office, Jagannath Bhavan in Bengaluru, Nadahalli said the special session convened to discuss the drought was held merely as a formality. He alleged that neither the Chief Minister nor most legislators took the discussion seriously. He said the state was facing a severe drought, with monsoon crops affected by deficient rainfall and the situation likely to worsen without adequate post-monsoon rains. Nadahalli alleged that neither the Revenue Minister nor the Chief Minister provided clear guidance to farmers on measures to deal with the crisis. Only eight to ten MLAs, including Aland MLA B.R. Patil, spoke seriously about the drought. When farmers are facing severe distress, legislators did not participate in the discussion with the seriousness required, he said. Nadahalli stressed that legislators should have discussed the drought on a non-partisan basis, highlighting its varying impact across coastal Karnataka, Malnad, Mysuru-Karnataka and Kittur-Karnataka regions. He alleged that the government failed to discuss preventive measures suited to different regions. This years drought is different and severe. It is a hydrological drought. Earlier droughts were largely confined to agriculture. The legislators have failed to understand the seriousness of the current situation. Lakes have dried up, and groundwater levels have depleted, while water is being stored and used for livestock, he said. On the governments drought relief announcement, Nadahalli criticised the Rs 2,500 assistance announced for farmers. He said when the media asked whether Rs 2,500 was too little, the response was dismissive. They said rice had been provided. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi provided it. They said electricity was being supplied. Farmers are not using that electricity to sleep in air-conditioned rooms. Even electricity is not supplied on time. It is often supplied at 2 or 3 a.m., forcing farmers to go to their fields despite the risk to their lives, he remarked. Nadahalli alleged that the Chief Ministers speech during the session lacked concern for farmers and claimed Shivakumar spoke more about Bengaluru than rural distress. He also accused him of showing a stepmotherly attitude towards North Karnataka, alleging irrigation projects had stalled since Shivakumar became Water Resources Minister. On water resources, Nadahalli said the government should resolve pending legal issues related to land acquisition and alleged that water from the Krishna River could also be supplied to Kolar. He further alleged that Maharashtra was using water through projects on the Bhima and Krishna rivers, affecting Karnatakas share. He questioned the governments expenditure on Cabinet functioning while providing only Rs 2,500 to farmers. The government spends crores on the Cabinet, but gives farmers only Rs 2,500 as relief. When people are suffering, why should ministers and the Chief Minister use government cars? he asked. Nadahalli said the government should have passed a resolution to allocate 10 per cent of its revenue expenditure for farmers, which could have enabled compensation of Rs 50,000 to each affected farmer. He also referred to the Centres Kisan Samman scheme, noting that the central government provides Rs 10,000 annually to farmers. He recalled that during B.S. Yediyurappas tenure as Chief Minister, funds were released from the revenue account during floods, and assistance was provided for irrigation and horticultural crops. Nadahalli demanded that Chief Minister Shivakumar apologise to the people for what he described as derogatory remarks about farmers. BJP Kisan Morcha state general secretary H.C. Kalmurudappa, state vice-presidents Bharati Mallikarjun and Gurulinganagowda, and state secretary R. Rajesh were present.

Mysuru Dasara: Cong MLA Sait expresses anger over delay by Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah at mahouts' breakfast

Digital Desk | Mysuru (Karnataka), Sep 28 (IANS) Former minister and six-time MLA, Tanveer Sait, on Monday expressed displeasure over Urban Development Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah's delay in attending a breakfast organised for Dasara elephant mahouts, kawadis and their family members at the Mysuru Palace premises. The programme was scheduled for 9 a.m., but Yathindra Siddaramaiah had not arrived even after much delay, leaving the mahouts, kawadis and their family members waiting for his arrival. Expressing his displeasure over the delay, Sait left the venue and spoke to the Deputy Commissioner, questioning the arrangements and the minister's lack of punctuality. Don't you have a sense of time? What should be done if there is no sense of time? There is a limit to everything. Let them do anything in other matters, but is it right to make mahouts wait for their breakfast? Sait said, adding that he had left the venue. Yathindra Siddaramaiah later arrived at the venue and served breakfast to the mahouts and kawadis. Clarifying the delay, Yathindra said he was yet to fully settle into his new house in Mysuru and that things were still being arranged. My new house is not arranged yet. Things are helter-skelter. My mother was not at home, I was alone and even the workers were not there. It took some time to get ready, arrange things and arrive. It was not intentional, he said. Sait, who represents the Mysuru region, had also been critical of the functioning of the state government under former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Tanveer Sait has been elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) six times from the Narasimharaja constituency in Mysuru, Karnataka. He first won a bye-election in May 2002 following his father's passing, and has won every consecutive election since then, securing his sixth term in the May 2003/2023 state Assembly elections and he is closer to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Former minister Tanveer Sait had expressed disappointment over not being inducted into D.K. Shivakumars Cabinet, with his name missing from the list of Ministers cleared by the AICC. Sait, who was a strong aspirant for a ministerial berth and had remained confident of securing the party high command's approval during second phase of Cabinet expansion. Insiders state that Tanveer Sait has been snubbed to ensure steady political growth of Siddaramaiah's son Yathindra.

Karnataka CM urges minorities to stay alert over SIR, protect voting rights

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 26 (IANS) Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Saturday urged members of minority communities to remain vigilant during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and protect their voting rights. Speaking after inaugurating the Karnataka Parva 2026 programme at Palace Grounds in Bengaluru, Shivakumar said the theme of the event was unity in diversity and self-reliance through skills. He said different regions of Karnataka had diverse food traditions and cultural practices. Minority empowerment is part of the overall development of Karnataka, Shivakumar said, adding that members of different minority communities had come together at the event to demonstrate unity. He said the Congress had fought for Independence based on the principle of unity in diversity and described Karnataka Parva as an opportunity for people across the state. Shivakumar said the government had continued the programmes initiated during the Siddaramaiah government to provide protection and opportunities for minority communities. Shivakumar said three members from minority communities had been appointed as ministers and one had been elected as Chairman of the Legislative Council. He also said more than 25 people had been appointed as chairpersons of various boards and corporations, while a prominent leader from the Kalaburagi Dargah had been given responsibility in the Waqf Board. He said the appointments had provided opportunities for minority community leaders from different parts of the state. Shivakumar said the government had introduced several programmes to promote education and skill development among minority youth. Young people must remain vigilant. There is a conspiracy to remove voters belonging to minority communities from the electoral rolls during the SIR process, and we are fighting against it, he alleged. He urged members of minority communities to protect their voting rights. Your right to vote is your right to life. Protect it, he said. Shivakumar also said he had invited the Buddhist community of Bylakuppe and members of all communities in Karnataka to this year's Mysuru Dasara celebrations. Calling upon women to become self-reliant and create employment opportunities, Shivakumar said the government was committed to providing economic support to women. Women should become self-reliant, become entrepreneurs and create employment. We are committed to strengthening your lives, he said. He said the government's guarantee schemes are aimed at strengthening women's economic position and claimed that the government was spending Rs 1.20 lakh crore every year to provide economic support to people across different sections of society.
