Bommai accuses Congress of having history of misusing Raj Bhavan to topple governments
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister and MP Basavaraja Bommai has accused the Congress party of having a history of misusing the Raj Bhavan more than 56 times across the country to destabilize governments. Speaking to the media on Sunday, Bommai claimed that Congress has a history of manipulating the Governor's office to topple state governments, including in Kerala.
Referring to former Governor Hansraj Bhardwaj as "controversial and questionable," Bommai alleged that Bhardwaj had ordered an investigation against BJP leader B.S. Yediyurappa without sufficient grounds, a case that has since been dropped. He questioned whether Congress would apologize for this.
Responding to a question about the death of a PSI, he said that “the transfer racket has been in operation since the day this government came to power. They are not allocating any funds for development, and all the MLAs are entangled in it. As Chief Minister, all Congress leaders have instructed the MLAs to handle the transfers, thereby institutionalizing corruption. Transfers are occurring under their watch, with excessive demands for money. The entire group of employees is under immense pressure, with many facing severe stress. Those who pay the money become involved in corruption. Such deaths are happening because corruption is pervasive from top to bottom.”

Eknath Shinde resigns, asked to act as caretaker chief minister
Mumbai (PTI): Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday morning met Governor C P Radhakrishnan and tendered his resignation following the results of the assembly elections.
The governor asked Shinde to act as a caretaker chief minister till a new CM is sworn in.
Shinde visited the Raj Bhavan along with deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.
The term of the Maharashtra assembly ends on November 26.
Despite the Mahayuti alliance of the BJP, Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar's NCP securing a massive victory, winning 230 seats in the 288-member assembly, consensus has eluded the ruling combine’s leaders so far on who should be the next CM.
