Karnatka Assembly

The Ruling BJP in Karnataka on Thursday expelled from its primary membership rebels Sharath Bachegowda and Kaviraj Urs, contesting the coming assembly bypolls as independent candidates, for anti-party activity.

A bill seeking to encourage public authorities to deliver services electronically or through post to the citizens and providing for disciplinary action against officials for failure to act in stipulated time was today passed by the Karnataka Assembly.

Far from the promises made by all political parties in Karnataka on fielding 'clean' candidates, or those who have worked for years in the party, all mainstream political parties have fielded a high number of individuals with vested interests, regardless of the taint of corruption.
