Bengaluru: While the by-election fever is gripping the state, in the BJP circles, on the other hand, discussions have begun regarding who would be the next CM. Consequently, this has led to clashes between the leaders.  

Former minister V. Somanna, during the by-polls campaign of the Bellary Lok Sabha constituency, had announced that Sreeramulu will be the next chief minister if the BJP comes to power in the state. Expressing displeasure over this, BJP state president Yeddyurappa said, "I do not know the details about the next CM. Ask this to Somanna only."

Shobha hits back: There is no truth in Somanna's 'next Chief Minister Sreeramulu' statement. Somanna is giving statements as per his wish. But Yeddyurappa is our leader. Even the party high command trusts him."

Speaking after visiting the Tontadarya Math in the wake of the demise of Dr. Siddalinga Mahaswamy of Tontadarya Math, Yeddyurappa said that he does not know who will become the next Chief Minister. He refused to comment on Somanna's statement by saying you should ask him only.

Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services on Friday said it has initiated a formal internal investigation into allegations linked to its Nashik unit and engaged independent external experts to ensure transparency in the process.

Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director K Krithivasan was quoted by The Observer Post as saying that the company has appointed Deloitte and Trilegal as independent counsel to support the probe. The internal investigation is being led by Aarthi Subramanian.

The company has constituted a supervisory committee chaired by independent director Keki Mistry, which will oversee the process. The committee will also review findings and monitor the implementation of recommendations.

Krithivasan said a preliminary review of the company’s internal systems and records had not revealed any complaints of the nature being alleged through its ethics or POSH channels.

He also clarified that an employee named in media reports, Nida Khan, was not part of the human resources function and did not hold any leadership role. He informed that she worked as a process associate.

The company has also rejected reports suggesting that operations at the Nashik facility had been suspended. It asserted that the unit continues to function without disruption with a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct.
