Channapatna: An emotional Karnataka CM HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday addressed the people of the state and added that he is going through pain that he cannot express in order to fulfill their expectations and to ensure smooth running of the governance.

"I promise I will fulfil your expectations. I can't express the pain I am going through every day. I want to express it with you, but cannot. But I need to solve the pain of people of the state. I have the responsibility of running the government smoothly," Mr Kumaraswamy said at an event in Channapatna on Tuesday.

Kumaraswamy also accused the BJP of continuing operation lotus while making fresh allegations against BJP that the saffron party tried to bribe JD(S) MLA 10 crore rupees recently.

 "One of our MLAs called me after he got a call by a BJP leader. They offered him Rs. 10 crore to leave JD(S) and join BJP. These attempts are being done continuously by BJP leaders. But by God's grace and your blessings this government is safe for another four years," he said.

Mangaluru (PTI): Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Sunday finished fourth in a dirt track racing event organised by the Indian Motor Sports Club here.

Driving a Volkswagen Polo GT, Khader narrowly missed a podium finish, ending just seconds behind the third-place finisher.

Organisers said his performance on the dirt track was consistent with his previous racing record.

Speaking informally after the event, Khader said he continues to follow motorsport and enjoys driving, describing the experience as a "refreshing change" from his official responsibilities.

The Dirt Prix event saw participation from multiple racers and was aimed at promoting grassroots motorsport.
