Commission fails to check election malpractices: HDK
Bengaluru, May 12: JDS state president and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy said that the Election Commission has failed to check the election-related malpractices in the Karnataka Assembly election.
After visiting Adichunchanagiri Shakha Mutt and got blessings from Nirmalanandanatha Swamiji at Vijayanagar in the city along with his family members, here on Saturday, Kumaraswamy told media persons that almost all political parties have distributed money in this election.
Election squad has found money worth crores at Molakalmuru assembly constituency in Chitradurga district and everybody knows whose money was that. In the same way, money was distributed in other parts of the state. But the Commission has failed to check it, he alleged.
The onus on electing a good government for the next five years is on the people of the state and this was an important day of exercising their responsibility. He has come to the mutt to get the blessings of the seer before casting his vote. He has toiled hard to campaign in favour of the party in order to bring it into power without caring his health, he said.
Like RR Nagar constituency, voter ID collection incidents happened in more than 20 assembly constituencies. It is true that the ruling party has involved in such incident. But the Election Commission has failed to disclose it, he said.
Just before two days for voting, the IT officials have conducted raids on the houses and offices of Congress and JDS candidates. Why they didn’t touch the BJP candidates, he asked.

AR Rahman sends notice to 'slanderers' over speculations surrounding separation with Saira Banu
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.
"My client informs the hatemongers and sharers of abusive contents to remove the objectionable content within the next one hour and a maximum time duration of 24 hours," read the notice.
Rahman’s legal team said the actions of these individuals not only tarnish his reputation but also cause distress to his family.
Rahman and Banu tied the knot in 1995 and share three children-- daughters Khatija, Raheema, and son Ameen.
