  • Rahul Gandhi exposed widespread vote theft in LS polls with evidence: Siddaramaiah

    Bengaluru, August 8, 2025: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has backed Congress Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, in alleging widespread electoral fraud in the recent Lok Sabha elections. Siddaramaiah claimed that Gandhi presented “hard evidence” on Thursday, revealing systematic vote theft across India, enabling Prime Minister Narendra Modi to retain power.

    In a media statement, Siddaramaiah asserted, “Despite massive public discontent, Narendra Modi secured power through electoral fraud. The documents released by Rahul Gandhi provide undeniable proof.” He further demanded Modi’s resignation, stating, “Modi has no moral right to remain in office. He must resign and dissolve the government immediately.”

    The Congress Party, under Gandhi’s leadership, conducted a six-month investigation into voter records in the Mahadevapura Assembly segment of Bengaluru Central Lok Sabha constituency. The probe allegedly uncovered evidence of systematic vote theft, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused of illegally securing 1,00,250 votes in a constituency of approximately 3.25 lakh voters.

    Siddaramaiah highlighted five methods of alleged electoral malpractice in Mahadevapura:

    1. Fake Voters: Approximately 11,965 fake voters reportedly cast votes, with some individuals voting in multiple polling booths and even outside Karnataka, indicating deliberate misuse of the electoral process.
    2. Voters with Fake Addresses: Around 40,009 voters were registered with non-existent addresses, including “House Number 0” or random, invalid entries for names and addresses.
    3. Multiple Voters at Single Addresses: A total of 10,452 voters were registered under a few addresses, including 80 voter IDs linked to a single-bedroom house and 68 to a private club, with none of the listed voters residing at these locations.
    4. Unidentifiable Voter Photographs: About 4,132 voter ID cards had missing or unclear photos, yet these voters were allowed to cast ballots, breaching electoral protocols.
    5. Elderly “First-Time Voters”: An astonishing 33,692 voters aged 60 to 90 were registered as first-time voters via Form 6, including individuals as old as 89 and 98, raising suspicions of fraudulent registrations.

    Siddaramaiah accused the Election Commission of complicity, alleging it altered rules to suppress information and withhold electronic data and CCTV footage requested by Gandhi. “Had the Election Commission acted impartially, this scam could have been exposed within days,” he said, adding that similar tactics were likely employed nationwide by the BJP to retain power.

    The Congress Party vowed to escalate its campaign, promising to raise awareness of the alleged fraud across the country.

  • Bengaluru: 70% of Minority Department Funds Allocated to Education, Says Minister B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan

    Bengaluru, August 06, 2025: Karnataka’s Minister for Housing, Waqf, and Minority Welfare, B.Z. Zameer Ahmed Khan, announced that 70% of the funds from the Minority Department are being utilized for education. The statement was made during an event in the city on Wednesday, where talented students from residential schools and colleges under the Minority Welfare Department were honored with the Prathibha Puraskar awards and an educational workshop.

    Speaking at the event, Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan shared his personal journey, saying, “My parents enrolled me in a convent for a good education, but I had to stop after the 10th grade. Now, despite my desire to learn, I can’t. I’ve had the opportunity to become an MLA and a minister, but not everyone gets such chances without education. I urge you all not to abandon your studies midway.”

    He highlighted the department’s progress, noting that 1,20,350 students were enrolled in residential facilities two years ago, a number that has risen to 2,08,065 this year. “Our goal is to reach 5 lakh students in the next three years,” he added. The minister also pointed out the increase in budgetary allocation, from ₹850 crore under the BJP government in 2022-23 to ₹2,101 crore after the Congress took over, with ₹4,537 crore allocated for 2025-26.

    During the event, 125 students who excelled in SSLC and 17 who topped in PUC were awarded ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 in cash along with laptops, respectively. Outstanding district-level officers, taluk extension officers, principals, lecturers, teachers, and wardens were also felicitated. The event saw the presence of notable figures including B.K. Altaf Khan, Chairman of the Minority Development Corporation, S. Jafeth, Chairman of the Christian Development Corporation, and others.

    Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan paid tribute to his political mentor, former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, saying, “Everyone has a guru. For me, it’s H.D. Deve Gowda. I may be in the Congress now, but my guru remains unchanged. I must acknowledge those who shaped me in politics. He rose from poverty to become Prime Minister.”

    Additionally, the minister personally awarded ₹1 lakh to K.M. Roofia, who secured six gold medals in M.Sc. Physics, and promised to cover the full educational expenses for A.R. Rida, who secured an MBBS seat, presenting her with a two-wheeler as a gift.

Leading the pack is Aysha Shaheeba, a Gangolli native and topper in college, bringing immense pride to the region.

    Aysha Shaheeba, daughter of Mohammed Saleem and Noorunnisa, hails from Gangolli. She completed her schooling at Touheed English Medium School and earned her Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) in Accounting and Finance from Bhandarkars’ Arts & Science College, Kundapur, between 2020 and 2023.

She has also published a research paper titled Integrating E-Learning to Enhance Holistic Education in the 21st Century in the Journal of IMIS, indexed in ProQuest, showcasing her academic excellence.

    The UGC-NET Ph.D.-Only category qualification, as per the revised University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, allows candidates to pursue doctoral research at premier universities and research institutions without eligibility for Assistant Professorship. This achievement opens significant opportunities for these students to advance their academic careers.

    The successful candidates are:

    2. Monisha A R

    4. Amritha Nair
    5. Yashaswini Kulal
    6. Renuka
    7. Vignesh Shetty
    8. Shreya U G

    The success is credited to a focused UGC-NET training program organized by the MBA Department, led by Mr. Chethan Kumar, a Sahyadri alumnus and Research Fellow at TAPMI, Manipal. His structured guidance, conceptual clarity, and strategic preparation were pivotal in the students’ performance. Last year, only one student from the department cleared the exam, making this year’s tally of eight qualifiers, including Aysha’s College achievement, a testament to the training program’s effectiveness.

    The Gangolli community celebrates Aysha Shaheeba and her peers for their outstanding accomplishments, which highlight the potential of local talent and bring pride to the region.

This milestone ensures the prestigious World Cup trophy will come to India for the first time since the tournament began.

    Humpy secured her final berth with a dramatic 5-3 tie-break victory over China’s Lei Tingjie, overcoming a deficit in rapid tie-breaks with a commanding blitz performance.

    Born in 2005 in Nagpur to doctors Namrata and Jitendra Deshmukh, Divya began playing chess at age 5. Her accolades include under-10 and under-12 world titles, the 2021 Woman Grandmaster title, and the 2022 Indian national championship. She also claimed Asian and U-20 world titles and contributed to India’s Olympiad gold medals in 2020, 2024, and 2025.

    India’s Chess Renaissance

    This all-Indian final underscores India’s emergence as a chess powerhouse, with consistent Olympiad medals and a growing roster of female stars like Vaishali Rameshbabu and Gukesh D. Support from institutions like GM R B Ramesh’s Chess Gurukul and Anand’s academy has fueled this transformation, creating a robust pipeline of talent challenging global norms.

    236Remaining Crew (7)UnknownUnknownNo individual names or nationalities released publicly; awaiting DNA identification. Likely Indian, as typical for Air India crew, but not confirmed.

    Notes:

    • Unknown Statuses: For Sumit Sabharwal, Clive Kunder, Ajay, and the remaining 210 passengers and 7 crew, statuses are marked as “Unknown” due to lack of explicit confirmation in public reports. DNA testing is ongoing, as most bodies are unidentifiable.
    • Unknown Nationalities: The nationalities of the seven remaining crew members are not specified by sources, likely Indian but marked as “Unknown” due to lack of confirmation.

    Key Notes on the List

    • Source Information: Air India and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) released the full passenger list, including names, seat numbers, and nationalities, to assist in identification and family contact. However, only a subset of names (e.g., Vijay Rupani, Akeel Nanabawa’s family, Vishwash Kumar Ramesh) has been made public through media due to privacy protocols and the ongoing DNA identification process.
    • Unknown Statuses: For individuals like Sumit Sabharwal, Clive Kunder, and Ajay, statuses are marked as “Unknown” because no explicit confirmation of their fate has been reported, despite presumptions of death due to the crash’s severity. The remaining 210 passengers and 7 crew members are listed as “Unknown” because their names and statuses are not publicly detailed, pending DNA verification at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital.
    • Unknown Nationalities: The nationalities of the seven remaining crew members are marked as “Unknown” because sources do not specify their nationalities, though they are likely Indian, as is typical for Air India cabin crew.
    • DNA Identification: The severe fire, fueled by 1.25 lakh liters of aviation fuel, rendered most bodies unidentifiable, necessitating DNA testing. This has delayed the release of individual statuses for the majority of the 242 onboard.

    Additional Context

    • Crash Details: The Boeing 787-8 (VT-ANB) reached a maximum altitude of 625 feet before descending rapidly, issuing a Mayday call seconds before crashing into a residential area and BJ Medical College hostel. CCTV footage shows a lack of lift, with the landing gear not retracted.
    • Ground Casualties: At least three medical students were killed, with 45 injured and up to four missing at the hostel. Specific names of ground victims are not yet public.
    • Rescue Operations: The Indian Army, NDRF, CRPF, and local fire services have cleared 70–80% of the crash site. One black box has been recovered; the second is still missing.
    • Investigation: The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) of India, with UK and US support, is probing the crash, focusing on potential technical failures like misconfigured flaps/slats.
    • Helplines: Air India: 1800 5691 444; Ahmedabad Police: 079-25620359; Rajkot Administration: 0281-2471573; Civil Hospital: 6357373831.

    Official Statements

    • Union Home Minister Amit Shah: “The death toll will be confirmed after DNA verification. The temperature due to burning fuel was so high, there was no chance to save anyone.”
    • Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “The tragedy in Ahmedabad is heartbreaking beyond words. My thoughts are with everyone affected.”
    • Air India Chairman N Chandrasekaran: Announced ₹1 crore ($116,770) compensation per victim from Tata Group and pledged support for families.
    • Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg: Expressed condolences and offered technical support for the investigation.

    Ongoing Efforts

    The identification process continues at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, with DNA samples being collected from relatives. Air India is operating relief flights from Delhi and Mumbai for victims’ families, and London Gatwick has set up a reception center. The crash, the first fatal incident for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, has prompted global calls for a transparent investigation. Authorities urge the public to avoid the crash site to aid rescue efforts.

    Udupi, May 31, 2025: The Alumni Association (R) of Milagres College, Kallianpur, hosted a memorable Alumni Day 2025 on Saturday, May 31, at 6:00 PM in the college’s AV Hall.

    The evening commenced with a serene prayer session led by Amrita Lewis and Ravinandan, the college’s Public Relations Officer, setting a reflective tone. Mr. Shekar Gujjarbettu, President of the Alumni Association, delivered a heartfelt welcome address, commending the alumni for upholding the values of Milagres and emphasizing the association’s role in bridging past and present students.

    The Chief Guest, Mr. Prasad Raj Kanchan, a Congress Leader and distinguished alumnus, shared fond memories of his time at Milagres PU College. He highlighted how the institution’s values shaped his leadership journey and underscored the importance of alumni associations in providing guidance and support in today’s competitive world.

In a poignant moment, he dedicated his commitment to social service to the memory of his late son, Pradhan Shetty, crediting the college for shaping his values.

    A key highlight was the felicitation of Mr. Roshan Lobo, a 2005 B.Com alumnus and international powerlifter from Hosala, Barkur. Honored with a traditional shawl and memento, his inspiring journey was narrated by Prof. Sophia Dias. In his response, Mr. Lobo expressed gratitude to his teachers, classmates, and the late Physical Education Director, Augustine Dias, for igniting his passion for discipline and determination.

    In his address, Principal Dr. Vincent Alva praised the Alumni Association, a registered body since 2002, for contributing nearly ₹2 crores to the college’s developmental projects. With minimal government funding, he urged alumni to remain active stakeholders in the institution’s progress.

    The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Mrs. Joyce Lewis, who acknowledged the contributions of dignitaries, alumni, faculty, and volunteers. Fazal Neralkatte expertly compered the programme, ensuring a smooth and engaging flow.
