One Ajit Pawar will rise from this Karnataka government as well: Eshwarappa
Davanagere: In a press interaction during his visit to Davanagere for MP Siddeshwar's birthday celebration, former minister KS Eshwarappa made bold predictions regarding the longevity of the current Congress government in Karnataka. Eshwarappa claimed that the government's days were numbered, comparing its fate to that of the Ajit Pawar episode in Maharashtra.
Expressing his concerns, Eshwarappa stated that the ruling government had attained power by deceiving its own party MLAs. Drawing parallels with the political turmoil witnessed in Maharashtra, he asserted that similar developments could be anticipated in Karnataka, resulting in the downfall of the current government. Eshwarappa confidently forecasted that the government would not survive beyond a mere three months, urging the public to keenly observe the unfolding events in the state.
Eshwarappa also said that the Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly will be appointed soon along with the party’s state president keeping in mind the upcoming Lok Sabha elections that will be held next year. With these remarks, it is evident the selection process for the Leader of Opposition and State President roles has faced delays, leading to speculations about the party's strategic planning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

FIR registered against Karnataka seer over his remarks on voting power to Muslims
Bengaluru (PTI): An FIR has been registered against Vishwa Vokkaliga Mahasamastana Math seer Kumara Chandrashekaranatha Swamiji for his remarks on voting power to Muslims, police said on Friday.
He made the statement during a protest meeting organised by the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh here on Tuesday against notices issued by Karnataka's Waqf board.
Urging everyone to unite to protect farmers and their land, Swamiji said that a law should be brought in where Muslims community don't have the voting power.
Stating that it should be ensured there is no Waqf board, he said someone taking away someone else's land is not "Dharma".
"...everyone should fight against injustice being caused to farmers...it is said that the Waqf board can claim anyone's land. It is a big injustice...someone taking away someone else's land is not Dharma... So, everyone should fight to ensure that farmers' land remains with them," the seer had said.
However, on Wednesday, Swamiji expressed regret over his statement, calling it a "slip of tongue".
He said Muslims are also citizens of this country, and they too have voting rights like others.
Based on the complaint by a social worker, the FIR was registered against him on Wednesday at Upparpet police station here, police said.
"We have registered a case against him (Swamiji) under section 299 (Deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita," a senior police officer said.
