Backing Rahul, Siddaramaiah warns Bihar is next, accuses BJP, ECI of electoral misconduct
BENGALURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has echoed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's allegations of large-scale electoral misconduct by the BJP, accusing the ruling party at the Centre of manipulating voter lists and undermining democratic institutions, including the Election Commission of India. In an interview with PTI Videos, Siddaramaiah said Rahul was telling the truth when he alleged that genuine voters were being removed from electoral rolls while fake names were being added. Such things have happened in Maharashtra, Haryana, and Karnataka, he claimed and expressed his apprehension, hey are planning to do it in Bihar also. The Chief Minister accused the BJP of mischief and alleged that this manipulation was happening across the country. He came down heavily on the Election Commission, saying it is no longer functioning as an independent constitutional body. The Election Commission is working under the direction of the central government. It's not independent. Election Commission has to function independently and fairly, but it is not doing so, the Chief Minister said. Declaring that democracy is under threat, Siddaramaiah announced that the Congress would launch a nationwide campaign to expose these alleged irregularities and demand reforms to protect the integrity of the electoral process. 'Have 100% proof': Rahul Gandhi claims EC allowed vote fraud in Karnataka Rahul Gandhi warns of Maharashtra-like voter list manipulations in MP ahead of 2028 assembly polls Siddaramaiah also reiterated the importance of conducting a nationwide caste census. Every state should start conducting the caste census. It should be socio-economic, educational, employment-based, and political. Because everybody should know, after independence, what is the status of an individual -- economically, politically -- and whether independence has reached everyone or not, whether equality has come or not, he insisted. The purpose of the Constitution is to bring about change and remove inequality, the Karnataka CM underlined. He also clarified that he is not the convenor of the OBC advisory committee but only a member under Anil Jaihind's leadership. Regarding Karnataka's own caste census, he said that authorities have been given a three-month time to complete the process and expressed hope that they will meet the deadline. Regarding the alleged site allotment scam in Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Siddaramaiah said, It is a false case. They torture me, my wife, and my family unnecessarily. Though this does not come under the PMLA Act; there is no money laundering; unnecessarily, they harassed me and my family, he complained. Welcoming the Supreme Court's strong remarks, CM said, It looks like the court has rightly said that if you want to do politics, do it in elections, not here. Not in this case, not through the ED. This is the warning of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to the BJP, Siddaramaiah said. Speaking on the June 4 stadium stampede that killed 11 people, Siddaramaiah said the Cabinet has accepted the enquiry report submitted by retired High Court judge Justice Michael D'Cunha. Criminal cases have already been registered against the officials of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and DNA (the event management agency), apart from police personnel, he said. Additionally, an inquiry will be conducted against the police officers concerned, he added. 70 lakh voters added in Maharashtra between LS and assembly polls, EC must provide data: Rahul Gandhi

MYSURU: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of murdering the Constitution, asserting that people of the country would not allow the BJP and RSS to alter it. He was addressing a mega convention organised by the Karnataka government, where development works worth over Rs 2,500 crore for Mysuru were inaugurated and foundation stones laid. BJP and RSS are talking about amending or rewriting the Constitution. You may try how much ever you want, the people of this country will not allow you to change the Constitution. If you (people) allow them to change the Constitution, you will not have any rights, Kharge warned the gathering. Modi, you became the Chief Minister and Prime Minister because of the Constitution, you bowed to the Constitution before entering the Parliament, but Modi is today murdering the same Constitution. BJP and RSS are every day making attempts to remove this Constitution, he added. Chief Minister Siddaramiah, Deputy CM D K Shivakumar and several ministers of the state government were present at the event. During his address, Kharge also hit out at the PM for visiting 42 countries, but not conflict-hit Manipur. What is the reason? Are you (Modi) afraid of going there? Rahul Gandhi (Congress leader) has visited twice... when people of the country are dying, Modi travels abroad, he alleged. Lauding the Siddaramaiah-led government for its development works in Karnataka, the veteran party leader said the BJP only criticises and accused the party of indulging in corruption. Benefits never reached poor under RJD-Congress rule, alleges PM Modi at Bihar rally Modi often asks what has the Congress done in the past 55 years. What we have done is before the people, tell us what you have done, he said. Alleging that big public sector companies established by the Maharajas and Jawaharlal Nehru were being sold to business tycoons like Adani and Ambani, the AICC chief said they are our assets, built using our tax money, and many people work there. Whether it is airport, port, roads, airlines, everything is being sold to the people he (Modi) wants, he said. Noting that the Congress has always aimed to empower people financially and socially, Kharge said the grand old party is working continuously without compromising with its ideology. We may have lost in a few states, but there are crores of people who still want us to come to power to save democracy and the constitution, he said. Mocking Modi's Congress mukt Bharat slogan, he said the PM even said Abki Bar Charso Par but (BJP) secured only 240 seats. Arrogance will make people fall, he said. Praising the Congress government's five guarantee schemes in Karnataka, he said they are popular across the country. The Congress chief lauded CM Siddaramaiah, Ministers, legislators and party workers for their collective leadership in implementing the schemes. In my Congress party there are people who perform, while in Modi's BJP, people only speak or criticise, he said. Kharge refuted claims that the Karnataka government was ankrupt and asked, If the government was bankrupt would it have given Rs 50 crore to each MLA for developmental work in their constituencies? Urging the Modi government at the Centre to release Karnataka's share of funds under various schemes, Kharge said, Give us our money, it is not your money, it is our money paid by us in the form of taxes/GST. Pointing to Modi's recent claim that India is now counted among the top countries where equality is the highest, he said Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that slowly the number of poor people in the country is increasing and the wealth is getting concentrated in the hands of few rich people, this should not happen. Who is correct, Modi or Gadkari? Who is to be believed? Kharge asked, adding that Modi's only guarantee is lying. What has happened in Amrit Kaal of Modi is that one per cent super rich have 40 per cent wealth, while 50 per cent poor have only 6.4 percent of wealth.

Swachh rankings: Bengaluru comes in 36 among 40 cities
BENGALURU: Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) ended up with the 36th national rank out of 40 in the Swachh Survekshan survey 2024-2025 rankings. In the previous survey, under which Bengaluru was included in cities with more than one lakh population category, BBMP had secured 125th rank. Ahmedabad topped the chart, and Madurai in Tamil Nadu secured 40th rank in the national rankings, under the more than 10 lakh population category (Million Plus Cities). In the survey results and awards announced on Thursday by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Mysuru was the only city in Karnataka to be selected in the Super League, an elite classification under the survey. In the state-level ranking (within Karnataka), BBMP slipped from third position in the 2023-2024 survey to rank 15 this year, with Davanagere and Hubballi-Dharwad securing first and second ranks, respectively. In the national ranking, BBMP scored 5,642 points out of the surveys 10,000 score. In the certification score, out of 2,500, BBMP got 1,200. According to Bengaluru citys report, the door-to-door collection of waste was 99 per cent, and waste generation vs processing was 81 per cent. The source segregation percentage dropped to 82 per cent from 99 per cent in the previous survey. In cleanliness of public toilets, the city fared poorly this year, with only 27 per cent of surveyed public toilets clean, compared to 87 per cent last year. Under the cleanliness of water bodies, Bengaluru scored 93 per cent. However, BBMP scored 100 per cent in cleanliness of residential areas survey, and 97 per cent in the cleanliness of market areas. Both in the 2023-24 and 2024-25 surveys, BBMP failed to score anything in the remediation of dumpsites (cleaning up and restoring landfills and other waste disposal sites). Mysuru only Karnataka city in elite super league Mysuru : In a significant comeback, Mysuru city regained national recognition by earning a place in the newly introduced Super Swachh League (SSL) the highest classification under the Swachh Survekshan framework of the Swachh Bharat Mission-Urban. It is the only city in Karnataka to achieve this distinction in the 2024-25 rankings. Mysuru, which was crowned Indias cleanest city in 2016, had slipped to the 27th position in the 2023-24 rankings. However, this year marks a remarkable turnaround, with the city emerging as a symbol of sustained urban cleanliness and civic engagement. The Super Swachh League is not just a top-tier ranking it is a recognition of consistent excellence. Inclusion of Mysuru in this league under the population category of 3 lakh to 10 lakh shows the citys long-term commitment to cleanliness, effective sanitation systems and strong community involvement. Meanwhile, Pourakarmikas distributed sweets to celebrate the collective effort that made the citys achievement possible.

Kerala capital to echo with retro thump-whump on Jawa-Yezdi Day
A motorcycle, riders would often declare, isnt just a machine it is an emotion that drives the soul. The Smoking Barrels Take the case of Athul Jayan, moderator of Smoking Barrels Jawa-Yezdi bikers group in Thiruvananthapuram. Watching his father riding a Yezdi, he fell in love with the brand. But the bonding began much before. In 1989, moments before I was born, my father rushed my mother to the hospital on a Yezdi Classic 2, he smiles. I then grew up, finished my engineering, got myself an old Yezdi Roadking in 2011. It was like a homage to the brand. I am still searching for the vehicle my father rode. It was sold off when he moved to the Middle East for work. I was too young then, but now, I would love to have it back. So, no doubt, Jawa is truly an emotion for me. This emotion brought together a bunch of Jawa buffs in 2007 on Orkut. Our aim was to discuss procurement of spare parts. They were becoming rare and prized, as Ideal Jawa had shut production of Jawa and Yezdi, says Abraham K John, a vintage bike collector. A Jawa veteran A 1955 make Jawa Soon, he and his tribe formed Smoking Barrels the second Jawa Yezdi lovers club in India, the first being in Mysore. Now, almost every district in the country has such a club. These have stood the test of time despite the invasion of several other brands, Abraham, who is also a moderator of the group. Riders like Athul and Abraham cant stop gushing about the Jawas and Yezdis the relaxed style and relaxed riding, the rhythmic exhaust thump, the classic instrument gauges they go on. Fired by this passion, they hunted for the bikes from scrap dealers, rummaged for spare parts, rebuilt the machines, and rode with reclaimed pride. Fans who dont have the privilege of devoting so much of time and effort now make do with Jawa and Yezdi models relaunched by Mahindra Classic Legends. Smoking Barrels is open to them as well. All thats needed is passion. From the Jawa vintage stable The Jawa riding groups in Bengaluru and Mysuru are the most vibrant ones in India. Whenever we face any hiccups with the machine, we post on groups about the need, and our Jawa friends take it up and get the work done. Its a brotherhood. One thats flourishing in Kerala as well, says Athul. The group currently has at least 30 die-hard Jawa-Yezdi fans the youngest being 21 and the oldest 57. Smoking Barrels members have spotted a couple of women Jawa riders in the city, and are keen to induct them into the clan. The group often goes on cross-country and camaraderie rides where they bond over machines, nature, and the freedom of the road ahead. We always try to take up social campaigns as well, adds Athul. Another Jawa yesteryear sensation Prized possession Of late, whenever we organise programmes, we speak to students and youths about motorcycles, riding, and the need to steer clear of drugs. The Smoking Barrels have never missed the International Jawa-Yezdi Day, said to be observed across the world on the second Sunday of every July, to celebrate the legacy of Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles. This is the 23rd edition. We organise meet-ups on the day to meet other riders who own a Jawa or Yezdi, says Abraham. This year, on July 13, the riders will assemble at Manaveeyam Veedhi, from where they will go on a ride with the message to choose life over drugs. For details: 9746344553

While officials had sought a 50% hike, the minister agreed for 20%. The rates were last revised in 2021. The ticket rates will not be hiked for other zoos in the state for the time being, Khandre said during the 159th governing body meeting with zoo managements. Presently, the entry rate at Bannerghatta and Mysuru zoos is Rs 100 per head. Khandre told the ZAK and officials to prepare a project report to make all zoos self-sustainable, on the lines of Bannerghatta and Mysuru zoos, in the next five years. ZAK officials said a lot of hand holding will needed for this.
