Royal scion Yaduveer Wadiyar seeks clear protocol for Mysuru Dasara rituals amid controversy
Digital Desk | Mysuru (Karnataka), Oct 24 (IANS) Mysuru-Kodagu BJP MP and Mysuru royal scion Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar on Saturday questioned the presence of a large number of people during the Nandi Dhwaja worship ritual at Mysuru Dasara and called for a clear protocol for the ceremony. A political controversy erupted in Karnataka during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations after police officers briefly blocked senior Dalit ministers from attending the traditional Nandi Dhwaja Puja. Speaking on the issue to reporters in Mysuru, Yaduveer said the presence of the Chief Minister and one or two officials would be sufficient for the ritual. He said the participation of a large number of people was not required. First, let them clarify what the protocol is. I am not aware of the existence of any such protocol. It is enough if two people accompany the Chief Minister on the occasion. Why should everyone want to go there? he asked. He said he had represented the Mysuru royal family at the rituals for the past 12 years at the direction of Rajamata. In earlier years, the Chief Minister and one or two officials would normally attend the rituals, he said. This is a programme organised by the government, and it has to decide and proceed accordingly. I feel that having fewer people would be better, as the rituals must be prioritised and conducted appropriately, he said. Yaduveer said the Chief Minister's presence was sufficient to represent the entire state and that everyone need not attend the ceremony. He added that the royal family had never insisted on their presence. Observing that some Dasara programmes had been reformed while others offered considerable scope for improvement, he said lessons should be drawn from this year's celebrations while planning the festival next year. We will offer suggestions, and action must also be taken. Merely making allegations would not be appropriate. I will raise these issues at the proper forum, he said. He called for the government to clearly define the protocol and announce that it would be followed from next year onwards. On the participation of the Chief Ministers of Kerala and Telangana in the Dasara celebrations, Yaduveer said their invitation was a good move that brought publicity to the festival. He also said there was nothing wrong with the Chief Ministers offering floral tributes to Goddess Chamundeshwari if they had been invited to do so. If they are invited and then not allowed to offer floral tributes, how is that possible? That is why I insist a clear protocol should be in place. Having a framework would be better, he said. Asked about the cancellation of the traditional Jatti Kalaga event, Yaduveer said his mother would provide clarification on the matter and that further reactions would follow after her statement. Meanwhile, Rajamata Pramodadevi Wadiyar said she had been concerned about elephant Prashanth, which carried the golden howdah of Goddess Chamundeshwari for the first time during the Mysuru Dasara celebrations. However, she said the elephant performed well, remained calm throughout the procession and did not cause any trouble. She added that both the elephant and the golden howdah were beautifully decorated. There had never been any concern earlier, but this time I was worried, she said.

Digital Desk | Mysuru, Oct 23 (IANS) Karnataka Minister for Urban Development and Mysuru district in-charge Yathindra Siddaramaiah on Friday expressed confidence in the investigation being conducted by the state police into the alleged sting operation involving his father Siddaramaiah, stating that everyone involved in the case must be arrested and investigated. Speaking to media in Mysuru, Yathindra said his father had made it clear to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar and Home Minister Priyank Kharge that the investigation must be conducted effectively and that those responsible must be brought to justice, irrespective of their identity. Two persons, including a journalist, have been detained and questioned. My father has been briefed about the detention of the persons and the summoning of the media person for questioning. He has told the Chief Minister and the Home Minister that the investigation should be conducted effectively and that whoever is behind this must be arrested, he said. Expressing faith in the ongoing investigation, Yathindra said the government was committed to ensuring a transparent probe and that the police were handling the case effectively. We have faith in the investigation being conducted by our government. We expect the probe to be conducted transparently. At present, we believe the police investigating the matter are doing their job effectively. If the investigation is not conducted properly, we will demand a high-level probe, he said. On the controversy surrounding the participation of the Chief Minister's wife in the Mysuru Dasara festivities, Yathindra defended her floral tribute to Goddess Chamundeshwari placed in the golden howdah during the Jamboo Savari procession. He said there was nothing wrong with the Chief Minister's wife offering floral tributes to the deity, arguing that she had not undertaken any government-related work. In this context, he maintained that there was no violation of protocol warranting criticism. Yathindra also criticised the police for preventing ministers from attending the Nandi Dhwaja puja during the Dasara celebrations in Mysuru. He said the police officer concerned had acted excessively and questioned why an officer of Inspector General of Police (IGP) rank had taken such a decision. The police officer should not have prevented ministers from attending the Nandi Dhwaja puja. I do not know why an officer of the rank of IGP did this. The police have acted overboard in this matter, he said. Yathindra added that the state government had ordered an enquiry into the incident and that an investigation was underway. He said the officer concerned would have to explain his actions before the enquiry team, maintaining that ministers should not have been stopped from participating in the religious ceremony as per protocol. He further said that Ministers H.C. Balakrishna and C. Puttarangasetty had also been prevented from attending the ceremony. Yathindra said he intervened and allowed them to enter after speaking to Chief Minister Shivakumar. The minister reiterated that the government would examine the circumstances surrounding the incident and that the officer concerned would be required to answer the questions raised during the investigation.
Kumaraswamy accuses K'taka govt of taking 'sting Op' lightly, warns against helping accused get bail
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 23 (IANS) Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy on Friday accused Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar of taking the alleged sting operation involving former CM and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Siddaramaiah lightly, alleging that the police had issued summons to a key person in the case merely as a formality. Addressing a press conference at the Janata Dal (Secular) headquarters, JP Bhavan, in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy alleged that a media person was involved in the sting operation video intended to tarnish Siddaramaiah's image. He questioned the state government's handling of the investigation and warned that the JD(S) would not remain silent if the government helped the person concerned secure anticipatory bail. Kumaraswamy's remarks came amid reports that Shivakumar had met AICC General Secretary (Organisation) and Congress MP K.C. Venugopal during his visit to Delhi on Thursday. The Chief Minister had reportedly said that the JD(S) was politicising the sting operation controversy. Responding to the allegation, Kumaraswamy said Shivakumar had visited Delhi to meet Union Ministers and raise various issues concerning Karnataka in the state's interest. However, he alleged that the Chief Minister had also met Congress high command leaders in connection with the ongoing controversy. Kumaraswamy referred to Shivakumar's explanation that Home Minister Priyank Kharge had also visited Venugopal's residence and that their presence there was coincidental. The Union Minister questioned the circumstances of the meetings and accused the Chief Minister of downplaying the alleged involvement of the media person. The issue is not whether the JD(S) is using this matter politically. The question is whether the truth will come out and justice will be done, Kumaraswamy said. He alleged that the objective of the sting operation was to damage Siddaramaiah's public image and claimed that the person involved was being treated leniently because of his proximity to the Chief Minister. He further alleged that the media person had easy access to Shivakumar. According to the information I have, the person was staying at the Radisson Hotel in Mysuru the day before yesterday, and they brought him in. Yesterday, summons were issued to him merely as a formality, Kumaraswamy alleged. The Union Minister also raised questions about the investigation and referred to senior IPS officer Ajay Hilori, who is heading the probe. Kumaraswamy referred to Hilori's alleged connection with the IMA ponzi scheme case and questioned the circumstances surrounding the appointment of the same lawyer, who had fought his case earlier, by the person seeking anticipatory bail in the sting operation case. Kumaraswamy alleged that the sting operation controversy was aimed at tarnishing Siddaramaiah's image and said the government must ensure that the investigation proceeded fairly. He warned that the JD(S) would not remain silent if the government remained passive and facilitated the accused in obtaining bail. I am warning the government. If it remains silent and helps him secure bail in the anticipatory bail petition he has filed, we will not sit quietly, he said. Rejecting allegations that the sting operation was a JD(S) conspiracy, Kumaraswamy questioned the Congress leadership's response to the controversy and defended Siddaramaiah's political stature. Who else is there in the Congress party, apart from Siddaramaiah, who is such a tall leader? Siddaramaiah has been forced to sit at home, and now they claim that this is a JD(S) conspiracy. Who else can bring votes apart from Siddaramaiah? You were saved because of him, he alleged. Kumaraswamy also anticipated questions about why he was speaking in support of Siddaramaiah despite their political rivalry. You may ask why I am speaking in favour of Siddaramaiah. Yes, I have fought against him, he said, maintaining that the issue should not be dismissed as political manoeuvring and that the allegations required a serious investigation.

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.
