In exclusive interview, Karnataka ex-CM talks about Congress strategy for assembly polls, his equation with Shivakumar, and why he believes Modi's popularity can't undo anti-incumbency.
Siddaramaiah said the book ‘Siddu Nijakanasugalu’ is being released with an intention to humiliate him ahead of Assembly polls in Karnataka and termed it 'totally defamatory'.
Kalappa had terminated his association with the Congress after 25 years in May. He was a prominent face of the party in Karnataka and claims to have appeared on 6,497 TV debates.
Siddaramaiah, L. Hanumanthaiah and H.C. Mahadevappa were allegedly scheduled to attend the event, but said no. The BJP targeted the Congress, calling them 'China's agent'.
There's no 'soft or hard Hindutva', and Kannada pride & job reservations for Kannadigas will be Congress's plank in 2023 assembly polls, says former Karnataka CM.
Claims by Fakireshwara Mutt's Dingaleshwara Swami follows graft accusations against Eshwarappa & on day CID raided property of BJP women's wing's ex district head for alleged police recruitment scam.
Multiple incidents in the last couple of weeks have put the spotlight back on party state chief DK Shivakumar and leader of opposition Siddaramaiah’s tussle for assertion.
D.K. Shivakumar, Mallikarjun Kharge and Siddaramaiah among 31 booked for violating norms in Mekedatu padayatra, BJP MLA Renukacharya participates in fair, ‘regrets’ act.
In an interview to ThePrint, Siddaramaiah says Modi’s popularity has declined. Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai, he adds, has done little for the state since taking over.
Real gains can be achieved when the government focuses its reforms upstream in better contract design, stronger capacity to monitor performance and maintain documentation.
The report released at Charcha 2025, an annual gathering of India’s social development sector, found that women remain largely concentrated in low-value and routine roles.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
