R. Ashok cautions against corruption in upcoming Mysuru Dussehra celebrations
Bengaluru: Opposition leader R. Ashok strongly attacked the state Congress government, urging that the upcoming Dussehra celebrations should not become a platform for another large-scale scam. Ashok expressed his concerns on the social networking site X, highlighting the need for transparency and integrity in the celebrations.
Ashok welcomed the government's decision to celebrate the Mysuru Dussehra festival with grandeur but warned against the corruption that marred last year's event. He referenced the controversy of previous year involving the Congress government, which allegedly demanded a commission from internationally renowned sarod player Pandit Taranath.
He stressed that this year’s Dussehra must be free from corruption to preserve the culture and heritage of Karnataka. Ashok emphasised that the festival, a symbol of Karnataka's rich cultural legacy, deserves to be celebrated with dedication and respect. He warned that failing to uphold these standards could lead to public discontent.

ಆದರೆ ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ದಸರಾ, @INCKarnataka ಸರ್ಕಾರದದ ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ಅದ್ಧೂರಿ ಹಗರಣಕ್ಕೆ ವೇದಿಕೆ ಆಗದಿರಲಿ ಎನ್ನುವುದೇ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಆಶಯ.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
