Bagalkote, Oct 24: Taking a jibe at Congress leaders, BJP state President B.S Yeddyurappa said, "as former Minister P. Chidambaram has said that AICC President Rahul Gandhi is not the PM candidate, you all are becoming orphans without a prime ministerial candidate."

Speaking to reporters while canvassing for BJP candidate Shrikant Kulkarni at Hunnur village in Jamkhandi on Wednesday, he said, "The Congress-JDS alliance government is sowing communal seeds through money, woman and muscle power. He appealed to vote the BJP to teach a lesson to the alliance government in the by-elections."

"CM Kumaraswamy is making baseless comments that PM Modi has become a barrier in waiving off loans of nationalized banks. What are the contributions of  HDK to Bagalkote district," BSY questioned?

The Bhagyalaxmi beneficiaries have not got the bonds yet. Loans of Nekars have not been waived off. I had promised to waive off loans within a week. But I had to leave the power in three days, he expressed displeasure.

New Delhi: An Indian CEO has triggered widespread debate on social media after reportedly spending Rs 14 lakh on a Louis Vuitton suitcase designed for his dog. Ajay Thakore, CEO of Doctor Multimedia, shared a video on Instagram showcasing the extravagant purchase, which has since drawn mixed reactions.

In the video, Thakore is seen entering a Louis Vuitton store, stating, "I think my dog has something to pick up." He then reveals the "Bone Trunk," a bone-shaped, hard-shell suitcase complete with a varnished wooden tray and two bowls. The video’s caption read, "Aspen's always spending money like there's no tomorrow. $20k Louis Vuitton bone trunk."

The post quickly went viral, with many users expressing shock and disbelief. Some criticized the CEO’s indulgence, questioning the morality of spending such a large sum on a pet accessory when pressing issues like poverty and animal welfare exist. Comments ranged from disbelief to sharp criticism, with one user remarking, "Imagine how far $20k would go at an animal rescue." Others viewed it as a reflection of societal excess, calling it a "grotesque illustration of what's wrong in society."

However, Thakore also found support from some users, who defended his right to spend his wealth as he pleased. One commenter noted the irony of criticism coming from people who indulge in expensive gadgets, writing, "It's funny how many condemn this spending yet think nothing of buying an $800 iPhone without considering charity."
