Karnataka govt to complete recruitment process for 17,000 teachers by December: Minister Bangarappa

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 14 (IANS) The Karnataka government has announced that the recruitment process for 17,000 teacher posts will be completed by December, State Minister for School Education and Literacy Madhu Bangarappa said on Wednesday. Addressing the media in Bengaluru, the Minister added that the state government had already completed the recruitment of 13,500 teachers, a process that had remained pending under the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, after pursuing the matter in the Supreme Court. In addition, the state government has granted approval for the recruitment of 6,000 teachers in aided schools. The recruitment process for these posts is expected to be completed by December or January, he said. Bangarappa added that the recruitment drive would help address the shortage of teachers in the state and improve the quality of education by ensuring better learning opportunities for children. The state government has been taking steps to fill vacant teaching positions and strengthen the education system in Karnataka, he said. Later, speaking after inaugurating the Children's Dasara programme at Kalamandira in Mysuru on Wednesday, organised as part of the Nada Habba Mysuru Dasara Mahotsav-2026, Minister Bangarappa added that when it comes to God and children, I will always give priority to children. Children should be regarded as being in the place of God. They are the beacon of hope who can lead the country in the future. Around 6,500 children are participating in various cultural programmes as part of the Dasara celebrations. Even before taking the stage, the children enthusiastically participated in rangoli and painting competitions. Through their paintings, they expressed the Nada Habba Dasara from their own unique perspectives. Recognising and honouring children's talents is the responsibility of all of us, the Minister said. As Education Minister, I have been working sincerely for the welfare of children. Around 1.16 crore children in the state come under the purview of my department. It is my privilege to be involved in shaping the educational future of such a large number of children. Providing quality education to children is one of the key priorities of our (Congress) government, he added. Significant changes are being introduced in the state's education sector through Karnataka Public Schools (KPS). Steps are being taken to establish 1,250 KPS schools in the first phase. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had taken a keen interest in establishing 1,000 KPS schools during his tenure. The current Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has directed officials to take steps to establish an additional 1,000 KPS schools. With these initiatives, around 2,500 KPS schools are expected to come up across the state, Bangarappa said. The KPS schools will provide quality education and essential facilities to compete with private schools. Children will have the opportunity to study under one roof, from pre-primary to pre-university (PUC) level. The state government will also provide free school bus facilities to ensure that education is easily accessible to children, the Minister added.

Ktaka: BJP MLA meets Siddaramaiah amid sting operation row

Digital Desk | Mysuru, Oct 14 (IANS) Amid the sting operation controversy and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah obtaining a court stay against the dissemination of allegedly defamatory content about him, prominent BJP MLA and former minister Ramesh Jarkiholi met him at his residence in Mysuru and held a private discussion on Wednesday. The meeting has assumed significance as Congress leaders have alleged that those behind the sting operation involving Ramesh Jarkiholi, which led to the circulation of his private video and compelled him to resign from his ministerial post in the previous BJP government, are also behind the sting operation targeting Siddaramaiah. Speaking to the media after meeting Siddaramaiah, Jarkiholi said the former Chief Minister should not have obtained a stay in connection with the sting operation controversy and should instead have fought the issue. I will not speak about the sting operation. I had come to meet Siddaramaiah to discuss other matters. Irrespective of which party he belongs to, he is our leader, Jarkiholi said. Jarkiholi visited Siddaramaiah's residence in T.K. Layout in Mysuru and held discussions with him for some time. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah declined to comment on the sting operation controversy when reporters sought his reaction in Mysuru. Questioning what more he could say on the issue, he said he had obtained a court stay and would not comment further. Asked about Jarkiholi's visit, Siddaramaiah said the BJP MLA had come to enquire about his well-being. He came to enquire about my well-being. Ramesh came, had lunch and left, Siddaramaiah said. Former minister and Congress MLA K.N. Rajanna on Tuesday said that those behind the controversial CD involving former Karnataka Minister and BJP leader Ramesh Jarkiholi were also responsible for the video allegedly targeting former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Rajanna's remarks came after Siddaramaiah, a Congress Working Committee member, approached a Bengaluru court seeking an injunction against the circulation and broadcast of allegedly defamatory audio and video clips linked to a reported sting operation. Speaking to the media in Bengaluru, Rajanna, a close associate of Siddaramaiah, said, You tell us who was behind Ramesh Jarkiholi's CD? Those who got his CD done have got Siddaramaiah's as well. The controversy has revived political speculation over the alleged involvement of Shivakumar in the 2021 release of a purported CD, involving Jarkiholi, who resigned as a minister in the then-BJP government following the controversy. However, Rajanna's remarks did not establish any evidence of Shivakumar's involvement in the current episode. Rajanna also claimed that an attempt had been made to conduct a sting operation against him when he was a minister in the previous Siddaramaiah-led cabinet. Such an attempt was made against me as well. They tried to carry out a sting operation against me. Since it was a government residence, I assumed that CCTV cameras would have been installed for security. However, I later came to know that no CCTV cameras had been installed, he said. This development occurred amid reported differences between Rajanna and Shivakumar in 2025. Rajanna had stated that he was ready to become Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President, the post held by Shivakumar then. He had also demanded that a Dalit be made the Chief Minister in the event of a change in state leadership of Siddaramaiah.

Kumaraswamy seeks halt to NICE toll collection, cites Rs 4,756 crore revenue

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 7 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday alleged that NICE had collected Rs 4,756.48 crore in toll revenue since 2008 despite the project remaining incomplete and demanded that toll collection be stopped immediately. Therefore, I demand that toll collection be stopped immediately. The State government should also take urgent action in this regard. I also appeal to the public not to pay tolls under any circumstances, Kumaraswamy said. NICE (Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise) project is a long-running controversy in Karnataka involving the development and land acquisition for the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC). The project was conceived as an expressway and peripheral road network connecting Bengaluru and Mysuru, along with townships and related infrastructure. The main controversy concerns land acquisition, alleged excess acquisition, compensation and the use of land acquired for purposes allegedly beyond those originally approved. Addressing a press conference at the JD(S) headquarters, JP Bhavan, Kumaraswamy argued that despite the High Court making strong observations against toll collection, and the Supreme Court not issuing any stay on the matter, the continued collection of toll was illegal. The original project cost of the NICE road was Rs 1,583.76 crore. However, the company has so far collected Rs 4,756.48 crore in toll revenue. He alleged that toll collection was being carried out in violation of the terms governing the NICE project. He referred to the Karnataka High Court's observations on the project and said the Supreme Court had not stayed the High Court judgment. According to figures cited by him, annual toll collections stood at Rs 5.59 crore in 2008-09 and had risen to Rs 734.97 crore in 2024-25. He alleged that a total of Rs 4,756.48 crore had been collected between 2008 and 2025. 'How many more years will toll collection continue?' Kumaraswamy strongly objected to suggestions that toll collection could continue for another decade. How many more years will this alleged collection continue? They say there are still another 10 years of toll collection. On what basis? This cannot continue, he said. He reiterated his demand that toll collection on the NICE road be stopped immediately and that the State government take appropriate action in light of the court proceedings and the terms of the original agreements. Kumaraswamy said the issue had been pursued by the JD(S) and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda for nearly two decades and claimed that the matter was now reaching a decisive stage. Kumaraswamy said a Toll Concession Agreement (TCA) was signed on September 4, 2000, between the State Public Works Department and NICE. He said the agreement required the project to be implemented in accordance with the original Framework Agreement (FWA) dated April 3, 1997. In the event of any conflict between the TCA and the terms of the FWA, the provisions of the Framework Agreement were to prevail, he said. According to Kumaraswamy, the agreement also envisaged construction of a four-lane concrete road, service roads and maintenance areas before toll collection could begin. He alleged that these conditions were not fully complied with and that toll collection nevertheless began in 2008. NICE has been collecting toll despite not completing the project and has also acquired land belonging to farmers. The company cannot continue collecting toll without complying with the conditions of the original agreements, he said. Kumaraswamy also raised allegations concerning lake areas within the project. Referring to the H.T. Somashekar Reddy case, he said NICE had sought 6,999 acres before the Supreme Court, including 2,193 acres for the Peripheral Road. He said the land cited at the time comprised various categories of agricultural and government land and did not include lake areas. He further said engineer Kapil Sharma had, in 2021, used the Dishaank application to identify instances where roads had allegedly been constructed over lake areas and had submitted a complaint. Kumaraswamy said documents relating to the alleged encroachment of lakes were also released at the press conference. Kumaraswamy alleged that the project alignment was altered through the Outline Development Plan (ODP) on February 12, 2004, without obtaining the required Cabinet approval. He alleged that the changes resulted in an expansion of the land allocated to different components of the project. According to the documents cited by him, the land earmarked for the Peripheral Road was increased from 2,193 acres to 2,747 acres, while the land for the toll road was increased from 6,999 acres to 9,468 acres. Kumaraswamy alleged that these changes were made unilaterally and without Cabinet approval. He also referred to the Karnataka High Court's judgment of July 29, which, according to him, held that altering the original agreement through the ODP amounted to a fraud on statute and the Constitution and also criticised State authorities for their role in the matter. Kumaraswamy said NICE had approached the Supreme Court through a Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court judgment. He said the Supreme Court had not granted a stay on the High Court judgment and had adjourned the matter for further hearing to November 2. He added that 25 lawyers, including those representing the State government, had appeared before the court in connection with the matter. Kumaraswamy argued that, in view of the High Court judgment and the absence of a stay from the Supreme Court, toll collection should be stopped immediately. He also pointed to a Cabinet decision taken during the S.M. Krishna government on November 4, 2002, under which toll collection was to be withdrawn if the four-lane concrete road was not completed within six years. Kumaraswamy alleged that NICE had generated revenue through avenues other than toll collection, in violation of the original Framework Agreement. He cited Rs 384 crore allegedly generated through land sales, Rs 108 crore received as advances towards joint development of land and construction projects, and Rs 338 crore from convention centres. He also referred to the recommendations of former Minister and Congress MLA T.B. Jayachandra, who chaired a House committee in 2016. According to Kumaraswamy, the committee had recommended taking over the NICE project and recovering excess land. Kumaraswamy questioned the change in Jayachandra's position, noting that while he had stated in August 2023 that the NICE road was not required, he subsequently wrote to the Chief Minister in May 2025 seeking completion of the project. This raises questions about what is happening behind the scenes, Kumaraswamy alleged.

Cong govt exerting undue influence on SIR process: NDA seeks K'taka Governor's intervention

Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 6 (IANS) An NDA delegation led by Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy and Leaders of Opposition R. Ashoka and Chalavadi Narayanaswamy on Tuesday expressed serious concern and disapproval over what it termed the undue influence exerted by the Karnataka government on the constitutional process of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The delegation, comprising BJP and JD(S) MLAs and MPs, met Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot at the Lok Bhavan and submitted a memorandum seeking his intervention to safeguard the interests of individuals who filed objections through Form-7 applications. The NDA leaders alleged that the Chief Electoral Office appeared to have succumbed to pressure from the state government and urged the Governor to issue directions to ensure that false and unwarranted FIRs and criminal cases under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, were not registered against individuals, including BJP workers, in connection with the SIR exercise. The memorandum stated that the SIR process had been progressing smoothly and in a structured manner and was currently at the stage of issuing notices and disposing of claims and objections. It said the exercise was aimed at ensuring accurate, inclusive and legally valid electoral rolls and fulfilling the constitutional promise of universal adult franchise. The NDA delegation said the SIR was necessary to prevent and curb the inclusion of ineligible persons in electoral rolls on account of what it termed illegal influx, and to safeguard the integrity of voter rolls and ensure free and fair elections. It further stated that the SIR exercise in Karnataka was at an advanced stage of the notice phase and disposal of claims and objections. Referring to Rule 13(2) of the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960, the memorandum said every objection to the inclusion of a name in the electoral roll had to be filed in Form-7 and could be submitted by a person whose name was already included in the electoral roll. The NDA leaders contended that filing objections through Form-7 was a legitimate constitutional right, subject to scrutiny by election officials and the appellate process provided under law. They also argued that there was no bar on filing Form-7 objections in bulk. Referring to an Election Commission of India communication dated January 16, 2026, and the Manual on Electoral Rolls, 2023, they said applications could be submitted in bulk for identifying corrections in draft electoral rolls. The memorandum claimed that there were no restrictions on the number of Form-7 applications that could be submitted to Electoral Registration Officers or Assistant Electoral Registration Officers and that all objections were required to be cross-verified by election officials. It also stated that Booth Level Agents could file multiple Form-7 applications. Hence, no illegality is committed with submitting Form-7, the delegation stated. The NDA leaders also criticised Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and ministers for allegedly holding a protest within the premises of the Election Commission despite prohibitory orders. They alleged that the protest exerted undue influence on the functioning of the Chief Electoral Office. According to the memorandum, such actions appeared to have resulted in the issuance of a circular proposing action under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act. The delegation said the circular had caused apprehension among people who had submitted Form-7 applications, as it appeared to legitimise the use of police machinery and interference in the SIR process. It further alleged that individuals were now apprehensive about the registration of criminal cases under the BNS, 2023, citing FIRs registered in various districts, including Belagavi, Bidar, Ballari and Mysuru. The NDA delegation urged Governor Gehlot to issue appropriate directions to the Karnataka government to safeguard the interests of individuals who had filed objections through Form-7. It also sought directions to ensure that false, unwarranted FIRs and criminal cases under the BNS, 2023, were not registered against individuals, including BJP workers, in connection with the SIR exercise. The delegation said such intervention was necessary in the interest of justice and to maintain the purity of elections.
