We are not responsible for BJP candidate’s decision: CM Kumaraswamy
“Will continue Tippu Jayanti”
Bengaluru, November 01: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy said that they were not responsible for the BJP candidate’s decision to backtrack from contesting the by-election from Ramnagar constituency.
Speaking to reporters at Kanteerava Stadium here on Thursday after Kannada Rajyotsava programme, the Chief Minister said that Chandrasekhar's exit from the party was clear evidence on how the BJP would consider and treat leaders who come from other political parties. Another example for such treatment was SM Krishna, he said.
He would not react to the comments or allegations being made by the BJP. Sadananda Gowda has been making unnecessary allegation against him, the CM reacted on the BJP’s statement that Kumaraswamy would lose his power after November 6.
Do not neglect the election after BJP candidate’s exit from the election. Take the voters into confidence and get maximum votes from both the parties, he appealed the party workers.
“Because of the BJP attitude, Ramanagar candidate has left the party. We have not lured anybody. After filing nomination papers, I have not gone to Ramanagar and asked votes. People of Ramanagar have elected us. I will remember Ramanagar people till my last breath”, he said.
“Tiger of Mysuru Tippu Sultan Jayanti was the official programme of the previous government. But we will continue that programme”.

Former diplomat, politicians come out in support of FS Misri after he faces online trolling
New Delhi (PTI): Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, who faced trolling on social media in the wake of India and Pakistan reaching an understanding on May 10 to halt all military actions, received support from veteran diplomat Nirupama Menon Rao and politicians Asaduddin Owaisi and Akhilesh Yadav.
Samajwadi Party chief Yadav wrote a long post on X in Hindi and said, such statements break the morale of honest officers who work day and night dedicated to the country.
"It is the government's responsibility to make decisions - not individual officers. Some anti-social criminal elements are openly crossing all limits of abusive language against the officer and his family, but neither the BJP government nor any of its ministers are coming forward to protect his honour and respect or discussing possible action against those who make such unwanted posts," wrote Yadav.
India and Pakistan on Saturday reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of a full-scale war.
Making the announcement on Saturday evening, Foreign Secretary Misri said the director generals of military operations of India and Pakistan agreed on the understanding during a call on Saturday afternoon, and the next talks are scheduled at 12 noon on May 12.
The announcement came shortly after US President Donald Trump in a surprise social media post claimed that the talks between the two sides were "mediated" by the US.
Former foreign secretary Nirupama Menon called the trolling of the senior diplomat "utterly shameful" and said it "crosses every line of decency"
"It's utterly shameful to troll Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and his family over the India-Pakistan ceasefire announcement. A dedicated diplomat, Misri has served India with professionalism and resolve, and there is no ground whatsoever for his vilification.
"Doxxing his daughter and abusing his loved ones crosses every line of decency. This toxic hate must stop—stand united behind our diplomats, not tear them down. #StopTrollingMisri #SupportDiplomats #VikramMisri #IndianDiplomacy #NoToDoxxing," she posted on X.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Owaisi also came out strongly in support of Misri on Sunday.
"Mr Vikram Misri is a decent, honest, hard-working diplomat working tirelessly for our nation. Our civil servants work under the executive this must be remembered & they shouldn't be blamed for the decisions taken by the executive or any political leadership running Watan E Aziz," he posted on X.
