Kumaraswamy alleges BJP involvement in Prajwal Revanna sex scandal
Hassan: The scandal surrounding Prajwal Revanna, Hassan MP, has taken a dramatic turn as former Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy accuses BJP leaders of involvement. Speaking to ANI news agency, Kumaraswamy made serious allegations, claiming that a BJP leader shared the controversial pen drive containing obscene videos.
Kumaraswamy asserted, "After realising victory in Hassan was unlikely, opposition leaders, including a BJP leader, shared the pen drive. They have attempted to tarnish our family's reputation and misused government power to do so. The involvement of a senior minister and certain BJP leaders from Hassan is evident."
The alliance between BJP and JDS was formed during the Lok Sabha elections, with voting taking place in 14 constituencies on August 26. Now, as Prajwal's scandal gains nationwide attention, Kumaraswamy's accusations threaten to strain the alliance between BJP and JDS.

UK workers face some of Europe's greatest job stress: Report
London: British workers are facing some of the highest levels of job stress in Europe, with long working hours, tight deadlines, and limited autonomy, without being any more productive, according to a new report. The findings come as the UK's new Labour government prepares to introduce tougher regulations for employers.
The report, produced by the Commission for Healthier Working Lives — a body set up by the Britain's Health Foundation think tank and trade union representation — reveals that three-fifths of the UK workforce experience tight deadlines, and two-fifths had to work at high speed, as cited by Reuters on Monday. These figures are among the largest proportions in Europe. In contrast, only a third of workers have the autonomy to choose the pace of their work.
Jonny Gifford, principal research fellow at the Institute for Employment Studies and one of the report's authors, stressed that long hours, work intensity, and lack of control are problem areas that should be addressed.
The report noted that workers in certain sectors, particularly construction, transport, warehouses, retail, and hospitality, face the most demanding conditions, while professional roles like teaching and nursing also reported particular strain.
The report highlighted that the UK ranks poorly across nearly every measure of workplace demands, control, and job strain in comparison to other European nations. About half of the UK's workforce reported feeling exhausted from work, and stress levels have risen significantly over the past 25 years.
