I missed the chance due to some swamijis: Horatti
Hubballi, June 8: MLC Basavaraj Horatti said that he missed the ministerial berth in the coalition government as some bluff swamijis spread the rumour against him that he is dividing the Lingayat religion.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Horatti said that his fight for the separate religion status for Lingayat community had become a crime. He was in the forefront in that movement. He has not fought for the Lingayat religion because he is from JDS. Moreover, he has informed both HD Deve Gowda and HD Kumaraswamy over this issue, he said.
When observed the developments of sharing the minister posts, his fight for separate religion tag for Lingayat community cost him more. Some people have begged the minister post. But he would not do such act, he said.
“I have been receiving many phone calls saying that ‘experienced people like you should have been there in the cabinet’. But the personwho gives minister position has not considered me for the post. Party supremo HD Deve Gowda’s decision is ultimate and it is left to the party to make me the Legislative Council Chairman”, he said.
He was elected to the Legislative Council for seven times from the Teachers Constituency. If he was the Minister, he could have done something to that section. But now, he is not a minister and work as an MLA, he said.

Supreme Court of India YouTube channel hacked, promoting cryptocurrency scams
New Delhi: The YouTube channel of the Supreme Court of India appears to have been hacked, with videos promoting XRP, a cryptocurrency developed by US-based Ripple Labs, currently being displayed. The channel, which streams live hearings of Constitution Bench cases and matters of public interest, recently broadcasted the proceedings of the suo motu case concerning the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital rape and murder.
Hackers have reportedly made earlier videos private, and a live stream titled "Brad Garlinghouse: Ripple Responds To The SEC's $2 Billion Fine! XRP PRICE PREDICTION" is now visible on the channel. Scams involving the hacking of popular video channels are not uncommon, and Ripple had previously sued YouTube for failing to prevent scammers from impersonating its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse.
According to a report by The Verge, scammers have been creating fake accounts for Ripple and Garlinghouse, often by hacking successful YouTube channels. These hacked channels, with their large subscriber bases, are then used to promote fraudulent XRP schemes, misleading viewers into making payments in exchange for promises of rewards.
Supreme Court officials have confirmed that the channel's hacking is under investigation.
