“Freezing Cong’s bank accounts move to punish opposition,” Siddaramaiah’s jab at Centre
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi led union government’s action of freezing the Congress party’s bank accounts. Calling it an act of, ‘abuse of power and an authoritarian move to punish the opposition parties,” He urged the Election Commission to direct the central government to withdraw its action immediately .
“The BJP government’s malicious intention is to freeze the bank accounts during elections and make the Congress party cry due to lack of funds. The money in our party accounts are collected from common people who are fans of the party and are not collected from big businessmen, but why such action ?,” questioned Siddaramaiah.
Meanwhile, he also stated that the Election Commission’s silence on Bharatiya Janata Party collecting and depositing crores of rupees from businessmen through electoral bonds is dangerous for democracy. He further urged the Commission to immediately take note of this and correct the injustice done to the Congress party.

He further said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP fear defeat. No matter what one brags in public, the inner conscience tells the truth. Narendra Modi knows what the actual situation is even though he claims to win 400 seats. It is because of this fear that the central government resorted of taking the retaliatory action of freezing the Congress party's bank account.”
“Our leader Rahul Gandhi is right when he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is just a mask behind which there is an evil force that propels the government. This evil power is going to subvert the executive, the legislature and even the judiciary. Only elections have the power to stop this,” he added.

CT Ravi warns of 'Belagavi Chalo Movement' if inaction on attempted murder complaint
Chikkamagaluru: Former Karnataka Minister and BJP MLC CT Ravi has accused the state Congress government of selective justice and threatened to launch a "Belagavi Chalo" movement if no action is taken against those who allegedly attempted to assassinate him.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Ravi alleged that the state government, led by Congress, operates on the "Hammurabi doctrine" rather than adhering to the Constitution. He criticized the swift police response to a complaint filed against him by Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar while claiming inaction on his own complaint regarding an alleged assassination attempt.
"Does the CM believe I don’t have the right to seek justice under the law? Should I also send goons to get justice?" Ravi questioned. He demanded a judicial investigation into the incident to uncover the truth.
Ravi alleged that he was detained and taken to "mysterious places" by Karnataka State Police, who acted on instructions from undisclosed sources. "I told them to record the calls they received during this operation," he added.
He stated his intent to pursue legal recourse, file complaints with the Human Rights Commission, and ensure those involved in the alleged murder attempt are held accountable. "An FIR has not been filed yet on my complaint. If action isn’t taken, we will launch the Belagavi Chalo movement," Ravi warned.
