Bengaluru: After the Congress party leveled charges of corruption against the kin of Karnataka CM BS Yediyurappa, Twitter users on Wednesday sought the resignation of the Chief Minister. Congress also led a campaign on the micro-blogging site with hashtag #BSY_Must_Resign.

The campaign soon caught pace and grossed nearly 10,000 tweets in a short period of time. The hashtag was also among the top three trending hashtags in Karnataka.

Earlier, in a press release, the Congress party had alleged that the son-in-law and son of Yediyurappa were “caught red-handed” asking for bribing in a project of construction of apartments by Bangalore Development Authority (BDA). It had added that the revelation had “bewildered, shocked and appalled everyone”.

KPCC President DK Shivakumar in a tweet “CM Yediyurappa & his family have been caught taking a bribe in an alleged ₹666 crore BDA construction project scam.” He also called for a probe by a sitting SC Judge or by the CJ of Karnataka HC.

The official handle of the Indian National Congress added that the democratic functioning of the Karnataka government is under a serious threat.

“Karnataka is fast becoming a combination of the two under the Yeddyurappa Govt,” AICC General Secretary Randeep Surjewala wrote on Twitter.

In the campaign, Congress leaders also noted that there were call recordings and WhatsApp chats clearly showing that CM, his son, grandson, and son-in-law were actively involved in corruption and bribery in the project. It was also alleged that the bribe was transferred via 7 shell companies in the bank.

Adding that Karnataka had turned into a ‘Gunda Raj’ users also said that it was “Vijayendra Service Tax” that the CM and his family were collecting for working in Karnataka. The hashtag #VijayendraServiceTax was also among those trending in the state.

Here are some of the tweets from Thursday's Twitter campaign against the Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa.

Chennai, Nov 23: Music composer AR Rahman on Saturday issued a warning to individuals speculating about his separation from his wife, Saira Banu.

Taking to social media on Saturday, the 57-year-old musician shared a three-page legal notice addressing those spreading defamatory and "objectionable" content targeting him and his family.

"Notice to all slanderers from ARR's Legal Team," Rahman wrote on X.

It comes days after Rahman and Saira Banu announced that they are ending their marriage of 29 years.

The notice provides a 24-hour window for the removal of such content, stating that failure to comply could result in legal consequences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
