Karnataka Assembly Election LIVE Updates

"Corruption increased every time Congress came to power": Rajnath Singh

Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, attacked the Congress on Wednesday, claiming that every time the grand old party won power, corruption developed in the state of Karnataka, which is going to the polls.

Singh stated, "Corruption has increased every time Congress has been in power," while speaking to a crowd in Belagavi. The party has been accused of corruption each time its government has been in power at the centre. He stated, Since the last nine years, the BJP has been in power at the Centre. Neither our Prime Minister nor any minister has a single allegation of corruption against them.”

At a public event earlier in the day in Dharwad, Singh declared that regardless of how well-known they may be, the BJP administration will look into all corrupt leaders.

Yediyurappa slams Siddaramaiah over promise to hike reservation limit

Former chief minister BS Yediyurappa responded angrily to Congress leader Siddaramaiah's assertion that his party would raise the reservation limit in Karnataka from 50 per cent to 75 per cent if elected in the upcoming Assembly elections. 

He said the "poll promise" would never be kept because the main opposition party in the state was doomed to defeat.

Yediyurappa hits out at BJP turncoats Shettar, Savadi

Former Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday came down hard on BJP turncoats Jagdish Shettar and Laxman Savadi, who recently switched over to the Congress, saying that they will pay for betraying the ruling party in the uncoming Assembly polls. 

Shettar, a former chief minister, and Savadi, who formerly served as the depty CM, belong to the Lingayat community which is believed to hold sway over electoral outcomes in the state.

Hitting out at both the BJP deserters, Yediyurappa said, "I call on the people not to cast a single vote for Laxman Savadi and Jagdish Shettar, as they betrayed the BJP despite being entrusted with key portfolios in the government." 

Electioneering is in full gear with less than two weeks till the May 10 Assembly elections in Karnataka as party leaders step up their efforts to win over voters.

While the opposition Congress sent its general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, out on the road for a second day of campaigning, the opposition BJP sent out a battery of its leaders, including state and national leaders, including chief ministers from other states and the union.

Former Prime Minister and JD(S) patriarch H D Deve Gowda, 89, and his son, former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, have been in charge of their party’s campaign.

Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Nirmala Sitharaman, the minister of defence, Rajnath Singh, and party general secretary responsible for Karnataka, Arun Singh, appear to have thrown their entire weight behind campaigning today.

India plans to import next batch of cheetahs from Northern Africa

India is considering importing cheetahs from northern Africa due to concerns that some of these big cats from Namibia and South Africa have developed a winter coat in Indian summer, officials said on Wednesday. According to officials, one of the biggest challenges faced in the first year of managing cheetahs in India was the unexpected development of winter coats by some cheetahs during the Indian summer and monsoon, in anticipation of the African winter (June to September). Even African experts did not expect it, a senior forest official said. The winter coat, combined with high humidity and temperatures, caused itching, prompting the animals to scratch their necks on tree trunks or the ground. This led to bruises and exposed skin, where flies laid their eggs, resulting in maggot infestations and, ultimately, bacterial infections and septicaemia, leading to the death of three cheetahs, the official explained. “Cheetahs in northern and north-eastern Africa, which is in the northern...
