CT Ravi sends legal notice to KPCC spokesperson for alleging he had disproportionate assets
Mysuru: In the background of the KPCC Spokesperson M. Laxman’s allegations that Chikmagalur MLA and BJP National Secretary C. T. Ravi had amassed 400-500 acres of property under unknown names and that the MLA must be called ‘Looti’ Ravi for his indiscretions, MLA C.T Ravi reportedly issued a legal notice against M. Laxman.
The MLA is said to have issued the legal notice through his lawyer, which states that if M. Laxman does not issue an apology and withdraws the accusations within 48 hours of receiving the notice, a defamation lawsuit would be undertaken against the KPCC spokesperson.
“In a press conference conducted at Mysuru on April 20, it was claimed that ‘10 years ago, C.T Ravi possessed an asset of 19 acres 3. But now, including in Bengaluru, Chikmagalur, Hasan, Delhi, and other places he has amassed 400-500 acres of assets. Additionally, his brother-in-law Sudarshan has been given all contracts in Chikmagalur. The 360 crores contract for the Medical College was also granted to him’, similarly several such false accusations have been made against me. This should be proven, otherwise, a defamation lawsuit will be taken against you”, C.T Ravi’s legal notice to M. Laxman states.

Congress using hijab issue to pacify minority anger, alleges Karnataka LoP R Ashoka
Bengaluru: Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashoka has accused the Congress government of using the hijab issue to placate what he described as discontent among minority voters after the Davanagere by-election.
In a post on X on Wednesday, Ashoka alleged that the state government, instead of addressing issues such as price rise, corruption, farmers’ distress and law and order, was attempting to retain its minority vote base by reviving the hijab issue.
Referring to the 2022 dress code introduced by the BJP government, which prohibited hijab in schools and colleges, Ashoka said the Karnataka High Court had upheld the policy and emphasised the importance of discipline in educational institutions.
He questioned the Congress government’s move to revisit the issue and asked whether setting aside the court-backed policy to benefit one community could be described as secularism.
Ashoka further alleged that while the government was willing to permit hijab, it continued to prohibit saffron shawls.
He accused the government of dividing students on religious lines rather than treating schools and colleges as spaces of equality.
Drawing a comparison with Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal, Ashoka claimed that excessive appeasement politics had harmed the state and warned that the Congress in Karnataka could face a similar political response.
He said voters in Karnataka would teach the Congress a lesson for what he termed “vote-bank politics” and for compromising constitutional and judicial principles.
