After cop stops ministers during Mysuru Dasara, Karnataka BJP accuses govt of hypocrisy
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 22 (IANS) After Superintendent of Police, C.B. Rishyanth, deputed for security arrangements during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations, allegedly prevented three ministers from participating in the Nandi Dhwaja puja during the Jamboo Savari procession on October 21, senior BJP leader R. Ashoka on Thursday alleged that the government's hypocrisy on social justice had been exposed. The incident occurred near the Kote Anjaneya Swamy temple within the Mysuru Palace premises and Ministers Shivaraj Tangadagi, P.M. Narendra Swamy and K.S. Basavanthappa were reportedly stopped by police personnel during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations. In a statement, Ashoka alleged that the incident had once again exposed the Congress government's claims of social justice as hollow and questioned whether there were any instructions from higher authorities behind the police officials' actions. If police officers have the audacity to publicly stop ministers holding senior positions in the government, who is behind this? Were there secret instructions from the top? he asked, addressing Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. Ashoka also questioned whether it was a coincidence that all three ministers who were stopped belonged to the Dalit community, or whether it was part of a systematic attempt to undermine Dalit leaders. He criticised the state government for announcing an enquiry after the incident triggered widespread public outrage, alleging that it was an attempt to deflect criticism rather than establish accountability. Accusing the Congress of using Dalit issues for political gains, Ashoka said the party delivered speeches on social justice while Dalit ministers themselves faced humiliating situations in the administration. If ministers holding positions of power are not protected from such treatment in a government that claims to stand with Scheduled Communities, what would be the plight of ordinary people? he asked. He said the government could not evade moral responsibility by making officials scapegoats and demanded that the Chief Minister take responsibility for the incident and issue a public apology. Ashoka claimed that any attempt to suppress the matter in the name of an enquiry would invite a strong response from the Dalit community and the public. The BJP leader also criticised the Congress government over the arrangements for Mysuru Dasara, alleging that it had failed to manage the state's traditional festival properly. He claimed that members of the public who had purchased tickets for Rs 2,000 were still unable to gain access to watch the celebrations, describing the situation as evidence of administrative mismanagement and negligence. Dasara is a festival of the people, not a platform for the government's publicity, he said. Ashoka accused the government of being preoccupied with self-promotion, political gains and the arrogance of power, while neglecting public convenience, security and essential facilities for visitors. He questioned who should be held accountable for the difficulties faced by people who had come to witness the festivities and demanded that the government ensure proper arrangements for the public during the celebrations. It can be noted that Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Thursday has directed Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh to conduct an enquiry and submit a report on the incident in which police officers allegedly prevented ministers from entering the venue to participate in the Nandi Dhwaja puja at the Mysuru Palace premises on Wednesday. Shivakumar said the police officers had behaved arrogantly by preventing ministers, including Balakrishna, P.M. Narendra Swamy and K.S. Basavanthappa, from entering the venue for the ritual. I personally intervened immediately and facilitated the ministers' entry. However, the officers' high-handed behaviour cannot be tolerated. Therefore, I have directed the Chief Secretary to conduct an enquiry into who was responsible for the incident and submit a report, he said.

Union Minister Karandlaje demands SIT probe into sting operations in Karnataka
Digital Desk | Mysuru (Karnataka), Oct 19 (IANS) Union Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Labour & Employment, Shobha Karandlaje, on Monday alleged that the Karnataka government was resorting to blackmail to retain power and demanded an immediate Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the alleged sting operations targeting political leaders. Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, she alleged that blackmail was being used within the ruling party and the government to manage political affairs and secure positions of power. She claimed that sting operations were being conducted and CDs containing alleged compromising material were being used to threaten certain individuals. They are running the administration by blackmailing people within their own party and government. There is information that former Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Siddaramaiah was forced to step down from the Chief Ministers post using these sting operations, she alleged. Karandlaje termed the alleged practice a black mark on the state, accusing those involved of resorting to unethical means to gain and retain power. She said the developments had attracted attention outside Karnataka, with people in other states questioning what was happening in the state. This will not bring honour to anyone. Such practices must come to an end, she said. The Union Minister demanded that the state government immediately order an SIT investigation into the alleged sting operations and ensure stringent punishment for those found responsible. I am requesting the Chief Minister in this regard. People are pointing fingers at you, she alleged, urging the state government to take immediate action. Karandlaje's remarks come amid the ongoing political controversy surrounding alleged sting operations and claims of the use of compromising material to influence political developments within the ruling party. Earlier in the day, she participated in a programme at the Mysuru Palace premises, where she arranged breakfast for the families of mahouts and kavadis accompanying the Dasara elephants. It can be noted that the sting operation row has created a stir in the state politics. Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Saturday led a padyatra with hundreds of JD(S) workers to the office of Director General and Inspector General of Police M.A. Saleem in Bengaluru, demanding swift action and the arrest of those behind the ongoing sting operation controversy. BJP Karnataka President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra has urged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara to take the sting operation case seriously, conduct a comprehensive investigation and take it to its logical conclusion. Meanwhile, Karnataka Police, investigating the sting operation controversy and the uploading of a video allegedly related to Siddaramaiah, have written to YouTube seeking technical details, including the IP address from which the video was uploaded and information about the person who uploaded it, officials said on last Saturday.
