Siddaramaiah Silent on Karnataka Sting Row Amidst Political Firestorm
Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has declared he will not engage with the media regarding the ongoing political developments in the state, specifically the controversial sting operation. This decision comes as he has already taken legal action and filed a police complaint concerning defamatory content circulating about him. The issue has ignited a significant political confrontation involving Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy and the Congress government.
Kumaraswamy has directly implicated Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar in the video controversy surrounding Siddaramaiah, intensifying the political heat. Siddaramaiah's silence has fueled further speculation.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara responded to Kumaraswamy's threat to show his 'other face' in the 2028 Assembly elections. Parameshwara stated that the political landscape in 2028 is unpredictable, even for Kumaraswamy, and challenged him to resign from his central post to focus on state politics. Kumaraswamy, confident of a coalition government's return in 2028, accused the current administration of misusing power and targeting his family.
Adding to the drama, Congress MLA Shivaganga Basavaraj countered allegations that Chief Minister Shivakumar is the 'father of sting operations.' Basavaraj pointed to Kumaraswamy's past public display of a pen drive, questioning who was truly behind the circulation of controversial videos, an indirect reference to the Prajwal Revanna case. He emphasized that senior leaders are experienced in such matters, and Shivakumar has advised party members to be cautious. In a surprising turn, BJP MLA Shivaraj Patil openly supported Siddaramaiah, praising his welfare schemes and expressing sadness over his current predicament.
