Cong questions BJP inaction on Yatnal’s threat to become 'a snake’ if leaders took him to task
Bengaluru: The Congress party in Karnataka has, on social media, likened the BJP members to snake charmers who had no idea where their own snakes were or when they would strike.
The Opposition party criticized the ruling party on Tuesday, “The BJP members were held up in taking a peek into our party affairs. Now, in the battle among each other, they have converted into snake charmers. The BJP itself, however, is unaware of where its snakes are to be found or when they would strike.”
The Congress has commented so on its Twitter handle after Vijayapura legislator Basangouda Patil Yatnal expressed his anger towards his party leaders, warning that if they took him to task he would convert into ‘a real snake’.
Mocking the MLA for the statement, the Congress asked the BJP in its post about the species of snake Yatnal would convert into, “Would he be a snake of corruption? Would he become a CD snake?”
Referring to the MLA’s criticism of BJP Parliamentary board committee member B S Yediyurappa and other BJP leaders, the Karnataka Congress has also alleged that Yatnal is merely a mouthpiece for B L Santhosh’s views.
The Congress has said, “Always considered a party with a great sense of discipline, the BJP should have taken disciplinary action against at least Basangouda Patil Yatnal. The party’s failure to do so has proven that the party’s discipline is limited to wearing khaki shorts!”

Probe into Zubeen Garg's death ongoing, no foul play suspected yet: Singapore police
Singapore (PTI): Investigations into the death of singer Zubeen Garg are ongoing but so far no foul play is suspected, Singapore police have said.
Garg died under mysterious circumstances while swimming in the sea in Singapore on September 19.
The case is currently still being investigated by the Singapore Police Force (SPF), in accordance with the Singapore Coroners Act 2010, the police said on Thursday.
“Based on our investigations so far, the SPF does not suspect foul play in the death of Garg,” said the statement.

Upon completion of the investigations, the findings will be submitted to the State Coroner in Singapore, who will hold a Coroner’s Inquiry (CI), currently scheduled for January and February 2026.
A CI is a fact-finding process led by the Coroner to establish the cause and circumstances of death. Its findings will be made public upon conclusion, said the SPF.
Singapore police are committed to conducting a thorough and professional investigation into the case, it said.
“We seek the patience and understanding of the parties involved. Meanwhile, we urge the public not to speculate and spread unverified information,” said SPF.
A Special Investigation Team probing Garg's death charged four accused, including the singer’s secretary Siddhartha Sharma and festival organiser Shyamkanu Mahanta, with murder in a chargesheet filed in a court in India last week.
Garg was due to perform at the 4th Northeast India Festival at Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre on September 20.
