Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy will present state budget at 12:32 PM on Friday instead of the usual 11 AM in order to avoid repercussions of taking decision during an inauspicious hour

BJP continues to question the legitimacy of the Kumaraswamy-led Karnataka government as the coalition seems to be.

The Congress members laid siege to Srirangapatna tahsildar accusing him of joining hands with the JD(S) in stalling appointment of a Congress member to a milk union

The JD(S) has already expressed its desire to contest in 12 seats, on which the Congress party has some reservations. The Congress has said seat sharing will be on 'candidate-merit' basis.

Congress has appointed MLA V Muniyappa as Karnataka chief minister's political secretary, MLA Sharanabasappa Darshanapur as vice president of the state planning commission and MLA Ajay Singh as state's special representative to Delhi
 

Sugar mills in Belagavi, Bagalkote, Haliyal, Kalaghataki, Vijayapura, Kalburgi, Bidar and Mandya districts together reportedly owe Rs 480 crore to the farmers.

Kumaraswamy hailed the people for their support to the coalition government of the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Congress and said the two parties would contest the 2019 polls together in all the 28 constituencies in the state.

Congress-JD(S) alliance won Ballari, Mandya, Ramanagara and Jamkhandi constituencies whereas BJP managed to win only Shivamogga.

By-elections were held for five constituencies in Karnataka - Lok Sabha by-election for Ballari, Shivamogga and Mandya whereas Assembly by-election for Jamakhandi and Ramanagara.

BJP MLA Sriramulu, in an exclusive interview to MyNation, tells how Congress-JD(S) government will fall post by-elections in Karnataka, scheduled for November 3.

 

Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy is likely to announce education loan waiver, to lessen the burden on students belonging to the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. It looks like Kumaraswamy is trying to win over the youth of the state through this scheme, but at the cost of taxpayer's money.

It is also speculated that this move of Mahesh is BSP's way of officially ending the coalition with Congress in Karnataka, after BSP chief Mayawati lashed out at Congress and came out of the ghatbandhan due to her differences with the party.
 

During the inauguration of a new office in Badami, Karnataka, former chief minister of the state, Siddararamaiah, allows his follower to help him wear his shoes.

BJP leaders filed a complaint with the director general of police and IGP of Karnataka claiming HD Kumaraswamy appealed to the people to revolt against the Bharatiya Janata Party. 

Currently, Belagavi is the second largest district in Karnataka with 14 taluks. The Karnataka government says the proposed division of Belagavi is a mere 'rumour'.
