Kumaraswamy flashes pen drive, says he will expose corruption in Congress govt
Bengaluru: Former Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday claimed that he has evidence pertaining to allegations of corruption against the Congress government in the state which he will share at the “right time”.
The Janata Dal (Secular) leader told reporters that he is roaming with a pen drive in his pocket which has audio evidence of the state government’s corruption in transfers in the Energy department. He further highlighted that a “responsible minister” from the current cabinet is also involved.
The former CM mentioned that cash-for-transfer has become the sixth promise of the ruling party in the state. He asserted that ₹10 crore is being charged for each transfer in the state’s energy department. “One of the transferred officers earns a staggering ₹50 lakh per day,” he further claimed.
Furthermore, Kumaraswamy shared that he has proof and he will not release the evidence without solid information.
“Kannadigas had thought CMO was Chief Minister’s Office. They have now understood that this has now become corruption management office,” Kumaraswamy tweeted taking a dig at the grand-old party.

After fake ID crackdown, IRCTC daily new accounts down to 5000 from one lakh: Railways
New Delhi (PTI): With a new, stringent system to establish user identity, the number of new user IDs being added daily on the IRCTC website has declined to about 5,000 from nearly one lakh, officials said on Saturday.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that the crackdown by Indian Railways on train ticket booking through fake identities is yielding positive results, according to a press note.
Before the latest reforms, this number had touched nearly one lakh new user IDs per day, it said.
"Following the introduction of a stringent system to establish user identity and detect fake IDs, about 5,000 new user IDs are now being added daily on the IRCTC website," the note said.
The officials stated that these steps have already helped Indian Railways deactivate 3.03 crore fake accounts.
"Another 2.7 crore user IDs have either been temporarily suspended or identified for suspension based on the suspicious activities they are indulging in," they said.
The Union minister directed officials to ensure that the ticketing system is reformed to a level where all travellers are able to book tickets easily through a real and genuine user ID, the press note added.
Additionally, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has directed officials to provide local cuisine of the region in Vande Bharat trains.
Introducing local cuisine that reflects the culture and tastes of the regions being traversed will significantly enhance the passenger experience, officials said.
This facility will be expanded to all the trains progressively in future, they added.
