Karnataka Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar has alleged that an attempt was made to entrap him through a sting operation. The claim raises questions about the alleged operation, the evidence he says he possesses and whether further details will be made public.

Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has completed 100 days in office, with the Congress-led government highlighting its focus on welfare schemes, employment, agriculture, housing and public services. A special programme at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru is being held to mark the milestone and showcase the government’s initiatives, including the five guarantee schemes and newly announced development and employment programmes.

The Cauvery water dispute has intensified after the CWMA upheld an order directing Karnataka to release 6,000 cusecs of water daily to Tamil Nadu for 15 days.
