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.

Indians in US rush to schedule preterm deliveries ahead of Trump’s birthright citizenship order
With the February 19 deadline for President Donald Trump’s executive order ending automatic birthright citizenship fast approaching, Indian parents in the United States are scrambling to arrange preterm deliveries. The new order challenges the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all children born on U.S. soil, except for children of foreign diplomats.
The executive order impacts not only undocumented immigrants but also non-citizens legally residing in the U.S. on temporary visas, such as H-1B, L1, tourist, and student visas. Children born after February 19 to non-citizen parents will no longer qualify for automatic U.S. citizenship, disrupting long-term plans for thousands of families.
Indian-origin families, many of whom are awaiting green cards, are especially anxious. Some parents were counting on their children’s U.S. citizenship as a potential pathway to secure residency. Priya, an Indian woman expecting her baby in March, expressed her distress: “We’ve been waiting for green cards for six years. Our child being born here was the only way to secure stability. Now, we’re terrified of what’s to come.”
Maternity clinics and doctors are reporting an unusual spike in requests for preterm C-sections. Dr. SG Mukkala, an obstetrician in Texas, shared concerns over the health risks of preterm births, including underdeveloped lungs, feeding difficulties, and neurological complications. “I’ve spoken to 15-20 couples in the past two days, trying to explain the risks,” he said.
In New Jersey, Dr. SD Rama noted a surge in calls for early deliveries. “A seven-months pregnant woman came with her husband, asking to schedule a preterm birth, even though she isn’t due until March,” she revealed.
