Congress MLA Ajay Singh skips Gruha Jyoti Yojana launch program, triggers speculation
Kalaburagi: MLA Dr. Ajay Singh, representing the Jewargi Constituency, made headlines on Saturday as he chose to abstain from the state government's significant Gruha Jyoti Yojana launch program held in the city. The absence of the legislator, who is also the son of former Chief Minister Dharmasingh, has sparked discussions and raised eyebrows, particularly considering his reported discontentment over not being appointed to a ministerial post.
The Gruha Jyoti Yojana launch program, inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, took place at the new Vidyalaya grounds in the city. The event was attended by prominent political figures, including All India Congress Committee President Dr. Mallikarjuna Kharge, Deputy Chief Minister DK Sivakumar, and Ministers KJ George, Priyank Kharge, Dr. Sharanprakash Patil, Sharanbasappa Darsanapura, and Eshwara Khandre, among others.
Dr. Ajay Singh, who has been serving as the MLA for the Jewargi Constituency for the third time, was notably absent from the event held in close proximity to his residence. This absence has become a subject of debate and speculation, especially given the recent reports of his dissatisfaction with not being appointed to a ministerial position within the government.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
