MLC Vishwanath presses Siddaramaiah to honour power-sharing pact, hand over CM post to DKShi
Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader and MLC H. Vishwanath has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to honour what he called the “widely known” power-sharing pact within the ruling party and hand over the Chief Minister’s post to Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar.
Addressing reporters at the Press Club on Wednesday, Vishwanath said it is an “open secret” that Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar had agreed to share the Chief Ministership for 30 months each while resolving leadership differences during the formation of the Congress government in Karnataka.
He reminded the CM that the party’s strong mandate of 136 seats in the assembly polls was achieved through the combined effort of people across castes, communities and regions and through the leadership of both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar. “This victory did not belong to one caste or one religion. Everyone contributed,” he said.
Vishwanath questioned why some ministers have recently been saying Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term, despite the alleged understanding reached between the two leaders. He directly asked the Chief Minister if he had not “placed his right hand on D.K. Shivakumar’s head” and promised to hand over the post after 30 months.
“If that agreement is true, why are you now making your colleagues speak about completing five years?” he asked.
Recalling the broken pact between B.S. Yediyurappa and H.D. Kumaraswamy in 2007 which led to political instability and ultimately helped the BJP rise to power Vishwanath warned Siddaramaiah that reneging on commitments could have similar consequences. “Do not think the administration cannot shift back to the BJP,” he cautioned.
Appealing to Siddaramaiah’s identity as a Kuruba leader, Vishwanath said the community is known for keeping its word. “Society believes Kurubas do not break promises. Do not let your actions shake that trust,” he said. He urged the CM not to bring disrepute to the Kaginele Kanaka Guru Peetha or the expectations of the younger generation.
“You have often said that power is not permanent. Then do not break trust now,” he added.
Office-bearers of the Karnataka Pradesh Kuruba Sangha, Rajeshwari and Jailingegowda, were present at the press conference.

How Indian AI Is Booming with GEOX AI Leading the Next Wave of Geolocation Intelligence
TraceX Labs has announced the launch of GEOX AI, an advanced artificial intelligence platform capable of identifying the real-world location where a photograph or video was taken using only the visual content within the media.
Positioned as an enterprise-grade intelligence solution, GEOX AI leverages advanced computer vision and multi-agent AI to analyze pixel-level details such as architecture, road patterns, vegetation, signage, lighting, and environmental context. By interpreting these visual clues, the system can estimate—and in many cases precisely determine—the origin of an image or video.
AI-Powered Geolocation Intelligence
Marketed under the concept of “Locate Anywhere From Any Image,” GEOX AI is designed for intelligence operations where speed, accuracy, and reliability are critical. The platform currently supports:
- 400+ analyses available
- <10 seconds average response time
- Up to 99% accuracy on landmark-based identification
- Global coverage across diverse terrains and environments
Core Capabilities
GEOX AI integrates multiple intelligence features into a single platform:
- Precise Geolocation:
Identifies exact geographic coordinates using visual landmarks, architecture, vegetation, and cultural indicators. - Satellite Map View:
Results are plotted on live satellite imagery with 2D/3D viewing options and multiple map styles for deeper analysis. - AI Reasoning Analysis:
Provides a detailed explanation of how the system arrived at a conclusion, including confidence scoring. - Multi-Result Analysis:
Returns multiple possible locations ranked by confidence, enabling cross-verification. - Intelligence PDF Export:
Allows one-click generation of professional reports containing maps, coordinates, analysis, and structured findings. - Credit-Based Access:
Agencies are allocated credits, with each analysis consuming one credit. Additional credits can be requested directly.
Speed Meets Intelligence
GEOX AI is designed to balance rapid processing with analytical depth:
- Fast Mode: Delivers results within seconds for clear and high-context images
- Advanced Mode: Performs deeper multi-step analysis for complex or ambiguous visuals
- Built for real-time decision-making in high-pressure environments
How GEOX AI Works
The platform follows a simple and efficient workflow:
- Upload any image or video frame
- AI analyzes visual clues such as structures, terrain, and environment
- The system identifies location with coordinates, confidence score, and reasoning
- Results are displayed on an interactive satellite map
- Export a professional intelligence report in one click
A Breakthrough for Investigations
GEOX AI is expected to have wide-ranging applications across multiple domains:
- Tracking the origin of images from social media and open sources
- Supporting digital forensics and cyber investigations
- Assisting law enforcement and intelligence operations
- Helping journalists and OSINT analysts verify visual content
- Providing support in missing person cases and threat intelligence scenarios
Enterprise Access and Deployment
GEOX AI is available to verified law enforcement agencies, intelligence organizations, and authorized enterprises. Access is provided through a structured system where organizations can request credentials and define their operational use cases.
Interested users can request access via tracexlabs.com or contact contact@tracexlabs.com, with response times typically within 24–48 hours.
Privacy Debate Intensifies
The launch of GEOX AI has also sparked renewed discussion around digital privacy. By demonstrating how location data can be extracted purely from visible elements within images, the platform highlights the potential risks associated with sharing photos online without considering what those visuals may reveal.
Conclusion
With GEOX AI, TraceX Labs is entering the rapidly evolving geolocation intelligence space with a platform that combines speed, precision, and real-world usability. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, tools like GEOX AI are expected to play a critical role in shaping the future of investigations, security, and digital intelligence.
