Karnataka Minister KN Rajanna, at the center of a failed honey trap attempt, revealed today that not just he but 48 MLAs have been targeted in similar cases over the past two decades. The shocking disclosure has sparked a political storm, with opposition BJP demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. High-Level Investigation Ordered PWD Minister Satish Jarkiholi confirmed that Rajanna was targeted twice, and a high-level probe will be initiated by the state home ministry. Speaking at the legislative assembly, Rajanna stated, “There is talk that a minister from Tumkuru has been a victim of a honey trap. There are only two of us from Tumkuru, one is me and the other is the Home Minister.” Acknowledging the gravity of the issue, Rajanna urged for a thorough investigation, adding that he was ready to file a complaint himself. He further emphasized that members from all parties—Congress, BJP, and JD(S)—have fallen victim to such traps over the years. ‘Honey Traps Have Been Happening for 20 Years’ Jarkiholi stressed that honey-trapping is not a new phenomenon in Karnataka politics and has been occurring for the last two decades. He warned against political parties exploiting such cases for political gains and insisted that the practice must stop. “Every party—Congress, BJP, and JD(S)—has been a victim. This has to end,” he said. He also revealed that he had spoken to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Home Minister G Parameshwara, demanding an investigation into the recent case. However, he insisted that the victim must come forward and file a complaint for any probe to proceed. BJP Slams Congress, Demands CBI Probe Jarkiholi’s statement has given the BJP fresh ammunition to target the Congress government. Senior BJP leader CT Ravi said, “Satish Jarkiholi is a senior leader. If he has made such a statement, then it must be true.” He demanded a thorough investigation to identify the masterminds behind the honey-trap operations. Former BJP minister V Sunil Kumar, who initially raised the issue in the assembly, accused the Congress of running a “honey-trap factory.” He called for an immediate investigation by the state home department. With the Karnataka government ordering a high-level probe and political parties trading barbs, the honey trap scandal has become a major flashpoint in the state’s political landscape.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday reiterated the government’s commitment to eradicating Naxalism, following the killing of 22 Naxalites in two separate encounters in Chhattisgarh. He emphasized that security forces are making significant strides towards a Naxal Mukt Bharat (Naxal-Free India) and reaffirmed that the government will not tolerate insurgency. Major Security Operation in Bijapur and Kanker The large-scale anti-Naxal operation was conducted by a joint team of the Border Security Force (BSF) and the District Reserve Guard (DRG) in two districts of Chhattisgarh—Bijapur and Kanker. According to security officials, 18 Naxalites were eliminated in Bijapur, while four were neutralized in Kanker. The Bijapur encounter took place in the early hours near the border of Bijapur and Dantewada districts. Security forces launched an offensive in the Gangaloor police station area, leading to an intense gunfight. Following the operation, authorities recovered 18 bodies along with firearms and explosives. Unfortunately, a DRG jawan lost his life in the encounter. Meanwhile, in Kanker, four Maoists were eliminated near Koroskodo village in the Chhotebethiya police station area. The operation, carried out along the Kanker-Narayanpur border, is still ongoing, with security forces recovering automatic weapons from the site. Officials have reported intermittent gunfire as personnel continue combing operations in the region. Government’s Firm Stand Against Naxalism Amit Shah emphasized that the Modi government is taking a “ruthless approach” against Naxal insurgents who refuse to surrender despite being given opportunities for reintegration. He further stated that India will be completely free of Naxalism before March 31, 2026. Recent Counter-Insurgency Successes The recent encounter follows a series of counter-insurgency measures in the region. Just last week, 17 Naxalites surrendered in Bijapur district, and in February, security forces arrested 18 Maoists while recovering explosives in three separate operations. These actions reflect the government’s intensified crackdown on left-wing extremism. Chhattisgarh CM Praises Security Forces Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai lauded the security forces for their successful operation. He expressed confidence in the Union Home Minister’s resolve to eliminate Naxalism, stating, “After two separate operations, bodies of 22 Naxalites have been found in Kanker and Bijapur. We appreciate the efforts of our security forces. The Union Home Minister has vowed to end Naxalism by March 31, 2026, and we are confident that his commitment will be fulfilled.” With the government’s aggressive counter-insurgency measures and increasing pressure on Maoist groups, the fight against Naxalism is intensifying, bringing India closer to achieving a Naxal Mukt Bharat.

Samay Raina has decided to cancel all his upcoming shows in India following the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent. The comedian, who had planned performances across multiple cities, announced the rescheduling of his tour and assured fans that refunds would be processed soon. Cancellation of Shows Amid Controversy Samay was originally scheduled to perform in Delhi on March 21 and 23 at Talkatora Stadium, along with shows in Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Kolkata between March and April. However, due to threats from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the ongoing backlash, all his shows have now been called off. Samay had been performing in Canada when the controversy erupted, even addressing the situation in a humorous manner during one of his shows. The India’s Got Latent Controversy The controversy began after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) made an inappropriate remark towards a contestant on India’s Got Latent. His question, which involved a highly inappropriate hypothetical scenario, was met with strong criticism from fellow panellists, including Apoorva Makhija and Ashish Chanchlani. Despite issuing an apology, Ranveer faced severe backlash, leading to multiple FIRs against him and others associated with the show. Legal Summons and Video Deletion Samay Raina had requested time until March 17 to appear before authorities and provide his statement. However, after failing to comply with an earlier summons on March 19, the Maharashtra Cyber Cell has now issued a third notice requiring his presence on March 24. Amidst growing pressure, Samay has deleted all India’s Got Latent videos from his YouTube channel. In a statement, he expressed that the situation had become overwhelming: “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all ‘India’s Got Latent’ videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you.” With his India tour postponed indefinitely, it remains to be seen how Samay navigates this challenging period in his career.

Congress Slams BJP and AAP for Crackdown on Farmers Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, joined Congress MPs from Punjab in protesting within the Parliament complex against the forcible eviction of farmers from protest sites at Sambhu and Khanauri on the Punjab border. The protest was in response to the police crackdown on farmers who had been demonstrating at these sites for over a year. Congress president and LoP in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, attacked both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), calling them “anti-farmer” forces that had united against the agricultural community. Kharge Condemns Detention of Farmer Leaders In a post on social media platform X, Kharge accused the Punjab government of initially inviting farmers for talks and then forcibly removing them from their protest sites. He strongly condemned the detention of senior farmer leaders Jagjit Singh Dallewal and Sarwan Singh Pandher by the Punjab Police, asserting that the ruling parties were blinded by their arrogance. “The country has not forgotten – Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, when farmers were fired upon during BJP rule. How the son of a minister of the Modi government crushed the farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri. How a farmer from Rajasthan hanged himself in Kejriwal’s rally in 2015 and he remained a silent spectator,” Kharge said. Congress MPs Stage Demonstration at Parliament Outside the Parliament’s Makar Dwar, Congress MPs from Punjab, including Sukhjinder Randhawa, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, Gurjit Aujla, and Dharamvir Gandhi, led a demonstration condemning both the AAP-led Punjab government and the BJP-led Central government for their handling of the farmer protests. The Congress leaders held placards demanding a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, a key demand of the protesting farmers. They accused Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of siding with the BJP against the farmers. Rahul Gandhi briefly joined the protest to express solidarity with the farmers and his fellow MPs, reaffirming the party’s commitment to the farmers’ cause.
