BJP's politics centers on hate: CM Siddaramaiah
Mysuru: In a strong statement against the BJP, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah accused the party of fostering politics of hate.
Speaking from his residence in Ramakrishna Nagar, he condemned BJP's alleged tactics of intimidation through agencies like ED, IT, and CBI, labeling it as a hallmark of their divisive strategy.
"BJP's primary agenda is hate politics," asserted Siddaramaiah, while speaking about recent cases involving himself, Shivakumar, and Rahul Gandhi.
"Since its inception, BJP has thrived on hate and continues to do so," he added, highlighting what he perceives as a longstanding pattern.
The Chief Minister differentiated Congress by stating, "Congress has never resorted to hate politics. I am not new to this arena."

He challenged BJP's approach, questioning the case against him and the treatment of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
"South India has consistently rejected the BJP. It's clear that BJP, perceived as the political face of RSS, lacks support here."
He pointed to recent electoral setbacks in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra as evidence of growing dissent, citing public displeasure towards what he termed as BJP's "arrogance."
On the issue of NEET, Siddaramaiah advocated for a re-examination, citing concerns over unfair practices. "Some students are unfairly advantaged in NEET. This practice must be investigated and corrected," he asserted.

B'desh: Lawyer killed in clash between security personnel, followers of Hindu leader
Dhaka, Nov 26: A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between the security personnel and followers of a Hindu community leader, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a Bangladesh court, according to local media reports.
The victim was identified as Saiful Islam, a 35-year-old assistant public prosecutor and a member of the Chattogram District Bar Association, the Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported.
Citing Dr Nibedita Ghosh, a duty doctor at the emergency department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, the paper said that six others were injured in the clashes that erupted after Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court denied bail to prominent Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, arrested on sedition charges.
Nazim Uddin Chowdhury, president of the Chittagong Lawyers' Association, said that protesters dragged a lawyer from beneath his chamber and hacked him to death.
As Das was being taken away in a police van, he addressed the crowd through a hand mike, urging them to remain calm.
Around 3 pm, the law enforcement agencies resorted to sound grenades, tear gas shells, and baton charges, dispersing the protesters.
Deputy Commissioner of City Police Liaquat Ali confirmed one death but said they were still investigating the cause.
The Daily Star newspaper reported that at least 10 people, including journalists, were injured during the clash.
