Basavaraj Horatti elected unopposed as Chairman of Karnataka Legislative Council
Belagavi (PTI): Veteran parliamentarian Basavaraj Horatti was on Wednesday elected unopposed as Chairman of Karnataka Legislative Council.
The 76-year-old eight time MLC had ended his long association with Janata Parivar and resigned from the Janata Dal (Secular) as well as the Member of Legislative Council in May this year, two months before his tenure was to come to an end. He later joined the BJP.
With the BJP enjoying majority in the 75-member House, the Congress and JDS had opted out of the race.
In absence of an elected Chairman, Raghunath Rao Malkapure was serving as pro-tem Chairman.
Horatti's family members were present in the visitors' gallery at the 'Suvarna Vidhana Soudha' here, where the legislature session is being held, when he assumed charge.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Ministers in the Karnataka government were among those who greeted him on the occasion.

FIR filed over hacking of Vartha Bharati’s email ID, YouTube Channel
Bengaluru, Nov 14: An FIR has been lodged at the Bengaluru Cyber Crime Police Station following a hacking incident involving the email and YouTube channel of the media outlet Vartha Bharati. The FIR was registered on Thursday based on a complaint from Vartha Bharati.
The hacking was discovered on Thursday morning, revealing that cybercriminals had gained unauthorized access to the official email and subsequently the YouTube channel, youtube.com/varthabharatinews. As a result, Vartha Bharati was unable to broadcast any programs on the platform, raising concerns that the hackers could potentially misuse the channel to disseminate anti-social messages or content. In its complaint, Vartha Bharati requested action to secure the release of the hacked accounts and prevent any misuse.
By Thursday afternoon, YouTube had restored Vartha Bharati's channel to a secondary official email account, allowing the organization to resume its broadcasts. However, the primary hacked email remains inaccessible, and investigations are ongoing to resolve the issue.
