Kharge rules out Team Siddu rejig
KALABURAGI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has ruled out any reshuffle in the Siddaramaiah cabinet. Speaking to reporters at his residence here, Kharge said that the party would inform if there is a reshuffle or change of guard at the KPCC. Kharge said these issues did not figure when chief minister Siddaramaiah and deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar met him and Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Tuesday. Our discussions were on the stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium and caste survey, he said. Kharge said the stampede has worried everybody, including the Congress. It should not have happened. I, myself, and Rahul Gandhi have told the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister to take all necessary steps in future to prevent such incidents. They briefed us about the incident and the steps taken aftermath including suspension of police officers, ordering magisterial inquiry and judicial inquiry and payment of compensation to the aggrieved, he said. Reacting to BJPs demand for the resignation of the chief minister and the Deputy CM, owning moral responsibility for the stampede, Kharge questioned whether UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath had resigned when the stampede took place during Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj. They expressed anger at me when I raised questions on the stampede at Kumbh Mela, Kharge said. Kharge said the caste survey was conducted 10 years ago. Various community leaders have urged me and the government to conduct resurvey. We have advised the CM and DCM to conduct resurvey without rejecting the survey report given by Kantaraj Commission. Resurvey would be done to include those castes and sub-castes which were genuine to be included in the OBC but were not included in the previous survey, said Kharge. When reporters asked how many marks he would give for the performance of the Modi government, Kharge refused. He asked Modi to tell how many poll assurances he has fulfilled. Kharge said Modi does not have faith in democratic process. When the UPA was in power, it used to accommodate opposition by giving Deputy Speakers post in the Lok Sabha. But the NDA government has kept the Deputy Speakers post vacant for 11 years. When Kharges attention was drawn on the statement of Minister of State for Railways, Somanna, in the recent press conference at Kalaburagi that Kharge sanctioned Railway Division to Kalaburagi wrongly when he was the railway minister, he said let Somanna start commissioning of Railway Division at Kalaburagi and let him take the credit. Stampede unfortunate Mallikarjun Kharge said the stampede has worried everybody, including Congress. It should not have happened. I and Rahul Gandhi have told the CM and Deputy CM to take all necessary steps in future to prevent such incidents. They briefed us about the incident, Kharge said.

UP government suppressed Maha Kumbh death toll, alleges Rahul Gandhi citing BBC report
NEW DELHI : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Uttar Pradesh government of deliberately underreporting the number of fatalities in the January 29 stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, referencing a BBC News Hindi investigation. The report claimed at least 82 people died during the incident, far more than the official toll of 37, highlighting that the deaths of economically disadvantaged victims were erased from official counts . Gandhi, speaking on X, condemned the suppression. He said, BBC report reveals that figures of deaths in Kumbh Mela stampede were hidden. Like in COVID, the bodies of the poor were erased from the statistics. Like after every major railway accident the truth is suppressed. BBC COVID BJP - , ! Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) June 11, 2025 He slammed the BJP-led government, stating, This is the BJP model, if there is no counting of the poor, then there is no accountability either! Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also weighed in, accusing the UP government of presenting false statistics. He echoed the BBC's toll of 82 and contrasted it sharply with the official figure of 37. Maha Kumbh stampede: 'Why hide death toll if there's no wrongdoing?' Akhilesh slams Centre in LS
No immediate Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka: AICC chief Kharge
KALABURGI: There is no proposal before the AIIC for the immediate Cabinet Reshuffle of Congress Party Government of Karnataka or immediate change of KPCC President, said AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge who is also leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha here on Wednesday. Speaking with press persons at his residence here, Kharge said that we would inform you whenever we decide for the cabinet reshuffle or to change the KPCC President. To another question, Kharge clarified that the matter of cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka or change of KPCC Presidents post did not figure when chief minister Siddaramaiah and deputy chief minister D. K. Shivakumar met him and former AICC President Rahul Gandhi at New Delhi on Tuesday. He discussed the stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium and about caste survey during the meeting. Kharge said that the incident of stampede at Chinnaswamy Stadium has worried everybody including Congress Party. It should not have happened. I myself and Rahul Gandhi have told the chief minister and deputy chief minister to take all necessary steps in future to prevent such incidents, he said. He added that the CM and Deputy CM have briefed about the incident and the steps taken aftermath including suspension of police officers, ordering magisterial inquiry and judicial inquiry and payment of compensation to the aggrieved. When scribes stressed to get more information on this, Kharge said that the meeting was an indoor event and it would not be fair to share everything with the press. Reacting to BJP's demand for the resignation of chief minister Siddaramaiah and deputy chief minister D. K. Shivakumar, citing moral responsibility for the stampede, Kharge questioned whether UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath had resigned when the stampede took place during Kumbh Mela at Prayagraj. They expressed anger at me when I raised questions on the stampede at Kumbh Mela, Kharge remembered. On the caste census, Mallikarjun Kharge said that the last caste survey was done 10 years back. Many leaders of different communities have represented before him as well as to the Karnataka government to conduct resurvey. He said the party has advised the CM and DCM to conduct resurvey without rejecting the survey report given by Kantaraj Commission. Resurvey would be done to include those castes and sub-castes which were genuine to be included in the OBC but were not included in the previous survey; he people conducting the survey would visit house to house and the new inputs would be included in the previous survey report, the AICC President said. On ED raid on Congress MLA Replying to a question on the ED raid on the house of Kudligi MLA Dr. N. T. Sirnivas , Kharge said that ED has been against Congress Party leaders for many years. He said, the main intention of NDA is to divide Congress Party by conducting raids on Congress Party leaders. But it is not possible as the Congress Party is united and would face such threats. During the election time, ED has raided many leaders of different political parties and we don't know where the money seized during the raid by ED has gone, AICC President said.

Kumaraswamy slams Rs 100 crore Cauvery aarti plan, blasts govt over stadium stampede probe
MANDYA: Union Minister for Steel and Heavy Industries HD Kumaraswamy has voiced strong opposition to the Karnataka governments proposal to spend Rs 100 crore on the Cauvery Aarti in Mandya. Speaking to reporters at the Mysugar High School premises on Saturday, Kumaraswamy questioned the rationale behind the massive allocation. Why do we need Rs 100 crore for the Cauvery Aarti? How much did it cost when JDS leader CS Puttaraju organised a similar event at Kere Thonnur? Why spend such an enormous amount? I am completely against this, he said. Kumaraswamy also criticised the state governments handling of the recent stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, calling out the lack of clarity and shifting decisions regarding the inquiry. Initially, they said there would be a magisterial investigation, then it changed to a judicial probe, and now they talk about handing it over to the CID. What final outcome are they expecting? There needs to be consistency in decision-making, he remarked. He questioned the governments narrative, highlighting that the FIR reportedly stated there was no negligence by officials. Instead of accepting responsibility, the government is deflecting blame and drawing irrelevant comparisons with incidents in Pahalgam and Prayagraj. What do those have to do with this? When the Mumbai terror attacks occurred under PM Manmohan Singhs tenure, did he resign? This is nothing but drama by CM Siddaramaiah and DCM DK Shivakumar to salvage their reputation, he alleged. Responding to former MP DK Sureshs comment suggesting Kumaraswamy should take care of his health, the minister retorted, God will take care of my health. The blessings of the people of Mandya are with me. Im not under any pressure. They are the ones feeling the heat.

UP government plans mini-forests to mitigate heat wave impact in major cities
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government is planning separate budget allocations to develop mini-forests in urban areas, aiming to boost green cover and combat the rising urban heat island effect in major cities. The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon where higher temperature is experienced in urban areas as compared to rural surroundings. As part of Upvan Scheme, 17 municipal corporations across the state have been given a free hand to infuse up to Rs 3 crore to develop green zones over an area of 2,000 sq mt under their jurisdiction. State Finance Department has created a corpus of Rs 70 crore to dole out funds to urban local bodies for the fiscal year 2025-26. As per the official sources, the amount allocated to civic bodies would be utilised to address the severe heat wave-like conditions in urban areas during the extreme summers. According to the principal secretary, urban development, Amrit Abhijat, the need to mitigate the risk in densely populated areas had become essential. He lays stress on urban planning in a manner so as to create additional green space and cooling strategies to promote sustainable development in cities. In its research report presented to the state government in July, 2024, the Uttar Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) urged the authorities to curate preventive measures to bring down the impact of heat-related incidents within the urban part of the state after carrying out district-wise analysis. Stating that the rapid urban growth in cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, and Prayagraj had given rise to urban heat islands, the study emphasised the need to prioritise green spaces, sustainable infrastructure, and climate-smart urban planning. A dense urban forest planting methodology, introducing Miyawaki forests, could be the first step for the key civic bodies to lower surface temperatures. Officials said that the studies conducted by independent research scholars and educational institutes over cities in the state were going to be analysed, and the help of experts would be taken to conduct GIS (geographical information system) based studies and collate remotely sensed thermal data to zero in on locations which require intervention.
