Karnataka: Kumaraswamy Alleges ‘Sting Operation’ Led to Siddaramaiah’s Exit as Karnataka CM
Kumaraswamy said the alleged operation targeted senior Congress leaders and warned ministers to be cautious as Karnataka politics turns toward the 2028 Assembly elections.
- On Tuesday, Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar warned Cabinet Ministers to remain vigilant against potential sting operations, presenting a "file" detailing alleged surveillance of government officials.
- This warning revives Karnataka's long history of political battles involving recorded conversations and purportedly incriminating material, as Shivakumar has previously cautioned Congress MLAs and Ministers regarding scrutiny from the Enforcement Directorate.
- During the Cabinet meeting, the Chief Minister advised Ministers to exercise caution when meeting strangers privately, as the "file" allegedly identified specific Ministers targeted for secret recordings and photographs.
- Minister H.C. Balakrishna linked these alleged sting operations to Janata Dal leader H.D. Kumaraswamy, accusing him of attempting to undermine Shivakumar's position as a prominent Vokkaliga leader through recent political campaigns.
- These developments occur as major parties in Karnataka position themselves for the 2028 Assembly elections, with political activity intensifying across the State amid rivalry between Congress and Janata Dal leaders.
