BK Hariprasad accuses Raj Bhavan of political misuse in prosecution against CM Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Congress Legislative Council member BK Hariprasad has alleged that the Raj Bhavan has been misused for political purposes in granting permission to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Hariprasad, in a statement on his X account, criticised Governor Thawarchand Gehlot for what he described as an act motivated by political hatred.
He further expressed his disappointment with the BJP and the Central Government, accusing them of attempting to destabilize democratically elected governments. "The people have already responded to the BJP and the Modi government's tactics in the last Lok Sabha elections, yet it seems they have not learned their lesson," Hariprasad stated.
He warned that the public would not tolerate anti-democratic actions aimed at undermining opposition-led governments that work for Dalits, backward communities, and the poor. "We will challenge this case of hatred against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah through the legal system," Hariprasad added.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
