JDS-Cong combine has stopped Ashwamedha horse of Modi, Shah in Karnataka
Kumaraswamy in his first press conference after becoming CM
Bengaluru, May 23: In his first press conference after becoming the Chief Minister, HD Kumaraswamy said that the JDS-Congress combine has tied the Ashwamedha horse of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in Karnataka.
From now onwards, Shah has to give lifeless horse to Modi, he said and asked Modi not to consider them lightly.
“Senior Congress leader Parameshwar is in my team. He is a very adjustable person. We will discuss and take decisions on major programmes in the Coordination Committee. Modi has said that he would solve Mahadayi dispute within three months. But Modi is clever in telling lies as and when he needs. They know how to place lotus on public ears. People have voted BJP believing that Modi would solve Mahadayi dispute. If he has real concerns, he could have solved the problem long back”, he said.
“We will respect all. But the swamijis should stop giving political statements. The statement of Nelson Mandela that poverty is not an accidental and it could be eradicated is the motto of our government. The national leaders of various political parties have attended the swearing in ceremony not because of protecting this government , but to give a strong message to the people of the country that they have the strength to face the BJP. Local Congress leaders will protect this government”, he said.

Conspiracy afoot to 'tarnish' image of Dharmasthala: Deputy CM DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru, Aug 14 (PTI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Thursday said there was a “conspiracy” to tarnish the image of Dharmasthala.
His comments come amid an ongoing investigation by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) into serious allegations of mass burials in the revered temple town in Dakshina Kannada district.
“A conspiracy is being hatched to destroy hundreds of years of legacy. It is not correct to tarnish someone just like that. It has all happened due to one complainant,” he said.
Noting that some Congress MLAs have called for action against those involved in the slander campaign at the legislature party meeting, he said, “ I have told them that action must be taken against those who are indulging in a slander campaign. The CM has also said that action must be taken against such people.”
“I have information on this case. Religious feelings should not be hurt in any manner. Culprits must be punished,” he told reporters, according to a release from his office.
Responding to a question, Shivakumar said the Congress party will not allow the image of any religious place to be tarnished.
“We see everyone equally when it comes to religion,” he added.
The SIT, formed by the state government, is probing claims of mass murder, rape, and mass burials in Dharmasthala over the past two decades.
The complainant, a former sanitation worker whose identity has not been revealed, alleged that between 1995 and 2014 he was forced to handle bodies—including women and minors—and that some showed signs of sexual assault. He has given a statement before a magistrate.
As part of the probe, the SIT has been conducting exhumations at multiple locations identified by the complainant-witness in the forested areas along the banks of the Netravathi River in Dharmasthala, where some skeletal remains have been found at two sites so far.
