Bengaluru: Eminent Indian Cartoonist Satish Acharya on Wednesday demonstrated the political crisis in Karnataka and the appointment of new CM of the state Basavaraj Bommai through his art and Twitter users loved his demonstration.
Acharya took to his official Twitter handle to post his art on Wednesday morning.
In his cartoon, Acharya showed former CM BS Yediyurappa wearing a face mask of Basavaraj Bommai and raising a victory sign.
The art is supposedly a dig at Yeddiyurappa’s close friendship with Bommai who has now taken over the reign from the former. He captioned the cartoon “Wear mask, Stay Safe”.
Alt News Co-founder and journalist Mohammed Zubair lauded the art and replied to the tweet.
Several other users also found it interesting and were all praise for Acharya’s creativity.

Bengaluru: The Karnataka Government has sought clarification from the Central drugs standard control organisation following reports linking the serial deaths of pregnant women at Ballari District Hospital to unsafe IV Ringer's Lactate solution. Health Department Principal Secretary Harsha Gupta has written a letter to the Drugs Controller General of India, Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi.
Recent Investigations revealed bacterial and fungal contaminants in the IV solution given to the women. Out of 192 batches supplied by a West Bengal-based pharmaceutical company, 22 were found substandard by the state drug control department, leading to the suspension of the medicine's use.
However, these batches had passed quality tests at the Central Drug Lab, creating a regulatory conflict.
The Health Department emphasized adherence to tender rules, stating that the Central Drug Lab's approval is legally binding. Samples from the problematic batches have been sent for re-testing at the central lab in West Bengal, with results expected on December 9.
As a precautionary measure, the state has blacklisted the implicated batches and issued directives to halt their use in all hospitals.
