Karnataka water resource minister Ramesh Jarkiholi, who was embroiled in sex-for -job scandal, tendered resignation to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Wednesday. The minister has denied any wrongdoing and resigned on moral grounds.

In the resignation letter, Jarkiholi said allegations against him are far from the truth and that a  clear investigation is needed. He is confident that he will come out innocent. The resignation has been accepted by Yediyurappa and sent to the governor for approval.

A purported video clip was leaked to a television news channel that allegedly showed Jarkiholi in a compromising position with a young identified woman. There was also an intimate audio conversation between the two, where Jarkiholi is heard enticing the woman with the offer of a government job. However, the veracity of the clip has not been confirmed yet.

According to the news agency PTI reports, Jarkiholi gave his resignation after directions from the BJP high command. BJP national general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Arun Singh has reportedly communicated the party’s decision to the state leadership, keeping in mind upcoming assembly elections in five states and panchayat polls in Karnataka.

Jarkiholi’s brother and BJP MLA Balachandra has sought a CBI probe into the matter and threatened to file a Rs 100 crore suit against those who released the sex CD.

Activist Dinesh Kallahalli  who has released the CD has filed a police complaint against Jarkiholi, alleging him of sexual harassment to a job aspirant and threatening her and family. Congress workers in Bengaluru took to the streets and protested against Jarkiholi and demanded his arrest. 

Meanwhile, the sex CD was released at a time when BJP is prepping up for elections in four states and one Union territory. It has also come as an embarrassment before the announcement of bypolls to the Belagavi Lok Sabha seat.

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who is frequently said to represent the political face of Muslims in India, is in an important phase in his career, today addressed a rally where he said India’s first Muslim prime minister will be a woman in a hijab.

The four-time MP Owaisi is running for office in the Hyderabad constituency in the next fourth round of voting, which ends on May 13. His party has assembled an alliance of Muslims, lower economic strata, and other marginalized groups.

Although this group is not a part of the opposition INDIA alliance, it is fighting hard against the BJP-led NDA. A minor party facing a large nationalist coalition. They got in touch with Owaisi to discuss a variety of themes, including the future of his party, the crucial concerns in this election, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anti-Muslim remarks. To make it clearer and more concise, this interview has been edited.

So, they are members of the unique Dalit and Muslim organisation PDM Nyay Morcha in Uttar Pradesh, which is led by Pallavi Patel of Apna Dal (Kamerawadi). As you correctly pointed out, they are contesting in Bihar, but you also need to include Jharkhand, where they will likely run for one or two seats. They have every confidence that Mr. Akhtar Akhtarul Iman, the MLA and president of our party in Bihar, would be elected.

On May 13, Hyderabad and Aurangabad will go to polls, and they are sure that they will keep up our winning streak, he added. Asaduddin Owaisi aslo said he will campaign in the remaining Maharashtra, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh Parliament segments and do everything in our power to help their candidates win.

He said, hopefully, it will be in the form of a woman wearing a hijab and heading this great nation. Owaisi said this time will come. That day will come, even though he might not be around to witness it, he added.

2024 Lok Sabha Elections

PM Modi to hold roadshow in Patna today during his 2-day visit

The campaigning for the fourth phase of the Lok Sabha Elections, scheduled to be held on May 13 ended on Saturday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today hold roadshow in Patna. The next day, he will address at three different electoral rallies in Bihar.

The prime minister’s first official visit to the state capital since the historic Gandhi Maidan event in March 2009 is this one. A few years ago, he paid an official visit to this place for an event organized by the Bihar Assembly.

All around the city, there are foolproof security systems in place. Senior Superintendent of Police Rajeev Mishra declared that driving on the roadshow route will be banned and that drone flying will be strictly prohibited in all localities.

The roadshow will go through populated areas like Fraser Road, Exhibition Road, Kadam Kuan, and Sahitya Sammelan before ending at Udyog Bhavan near Gandhi Maidan. It will start at the Income Tax office roundabout, which is a few hundred meters from the state BJP headquarters.

Along the route, barricades have been up on both sides of the road, and businesses, which are numerous, are probably going to stay closed. The SSP has also announced that personnel would be stationed on the rooftops of numerous buildings to maintain a close watch.

Just one day before the fourth round of voting in the state, with three more to go, the prime minister’s blitzkrieg has the BJP, as expected, thrilled. There have been billboards and posters up at several locations asking people to attend The Modi Show.

The city’s residents are renowned for their deep love for the prime minister. We ask people to show their appreciation by putting flowers on their doors to welcome PM Modi, who is the first to tour Bihar, said local BJP MP and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who is running for reelection from the Patna Sahib seat.

Late on Saturday night, Prasad went door-to-door with state BJP president Samrat Choudhary and Bihar’s deputy chief minister, among others, to assess the level of preparation for the roadshow.
