Row has sparked fresh trouble for Siddaramaiah govt at a time when dissatisfaction is brewing among Lingayats, Vokkaligas, Brahmins over purportedly leaked findings from caste survey.
Karnataka CM is said to have released report after Rahul Gandhi's 'unstated snub'. A special cabinet meeting is scheduled 17 April to discuss in detail the survey's findings.
The promise was made by Rahul Gandhi during his Bharat Jodo Yatra. Karnataka govt likely to promulgate an ordinance to implement this at the earliest, it is learnt.
Siddaramaiah govt has resorted to hiking taxes on various commodities and services to mitigate the crunch of funds on account of its commitment to bankroll its flagship guarantees.
Karnataka govt released data on chartered aircraft & helicopter usage from March 2023 to January 2025. The CM alone accounted for nearly Rs 32 cr of the Rs 34 crore worth of bills.
Siddaramaiah govt’s new bill proposes reservation for Muslims under 2-B category of the State Backward Classes list for civil works contracts & procurement of goods & services.
Karnataka’s liabilities have increased from 23.97 percent of GSDP in 2022-23 to 24.91 percent in 2025-26, the state's medium-term fiscal plan has shown.
The move, coming against the backdrop of actors complaining about lack of Kannada content on OTTs, will likely reduce the recent rift between the Congress and the film fraternity.
The political trajectory is clear. Asim Munir is now prepared to convict and sentence Imran Khan for instigating a rebellion against the army chief, with no possibility of mercy.
RBI data shows 26 states and Union Territories couldn’t regain pre-pandemic foreign tourist footfalls in 2024, but domestic tourism surged 27 percent compared to 2019.
Of the total package, $649 million will be utilised for additional hardware, software, and support services, and the remaining for Major Defence Equipment (MDE).
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
This isn’t a good way to talk about Kannadigas – really they aren’t like colluding against “North Indians”. The military officer in question, unfortunately, acted with excessive force against the civilian – as is obvious from the public CCTV footage, then he made a complaint with police to arrest the biker. The biker was also very angry and was probably abusive, but it also appears that the conflict escalated.
If people claim to be intelligent – then it’s obvious that there was nothing to be gained by getting into a physical fight, and the intelligent party should have just let the matter drop.
What really bothers all of us is the complete one-sided nature of the complaint where it appears that the complainant was stopped,abused and assaulted for NO REASON AT ALL. Only the public CCTV footage showed that it wasn’t what it was made out to be in the complaint.
Kannadigas consider every single outsider as north-Indian and Hindi-speaking. The fact that there are people living in India who do not hail from the north or even speak Hindi (with the exception of South India) is totally lost on them.
And yes, Kannadigas do have a habit of ganging up against outsiders in case of a conflict. It does not matter to them who is right and who is wrong. Neither do ethics and principles.
They are a deeply parochial and chauvinist people and gang up against “outsiders”.
