Congress MLA and former speaker in Karnataka assembly KR Ramesh Kumar, known for his unfiltered comments, has set off another controversy

National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma today slammed Karnataka Congress MLA KR Ramesh Kumar for his controversial rape comment, saying he should apologise to every Indian woman.

Karnataka Congress chief DK Shivakumar this afternoon admitted there's an "inherent regressive attitudes towards women" among men in politics after his party colleague's "enjoy rape if inevitable" remark received countrywide backlash.

A Karnataka Congress leader's egregious "enjoy rape" comments have triggered outrage all the way to Delhi. Congress MLA KR Ramesh Kumar, who has apologised in the assembly and on Twitter, has embarrassed his party.

Hours after his reprehensible remark on rape triggered massive outrage, a senior Congress leader in Karnataka has now apologised for the "indifferent and negligent" comment made in the state assembly.

A senior Congress leader from Karnataka was heard making an outrageous and sexist comment in the state Assembly on Thursday, putting rape on par with an unwilling acquiescence to a discussion on farmers' issues.

A rich BJP candidate in Karnataka has just got richer by crores, and it's raising many an eyebrow in the southern state. MTB Nagaraj, who used to represent Hoskote in the state assembly, has added an additional Rs 185 crore to his net worth since the day he left the Congress-Janata Dal Secular coalition earlier this year.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa today welcomed the Supreme Court decision to allow disqualified MLAs to contest polls, and termed it as verdict against the "conspiracy" of the then Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar and Congress leader Siddaramaiah.

The Karnataka Assembly Speaker told the Supreme Court today that he has no problem in hearing the 17 MLAs who were disqualified by his predecessor, KR Ramesh Kumar, and take a "fresh call" on the issue.

The 17 disqualified Karnataka MLAs told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that they have an "indefeasible right" to resign as members of the Assembly and the decision by the then Speaker KR Ramesh Kumar to disqualify them smacks of "vengeance".

Janata Dal Secular leader HD Kumaraswamy today took exception to the Election Commission asking the Supreme Court to defer the bypolls to 15 assembly constituencies in Karnataka, terming it as yet another indication that the constitutional body has become a "puppet" of the BJP-ruled central government.

In an attempt to make a comeback into active politics, the disqualified Karnataka MLAs on Friday held a meeting looking forward to get their case heard at the earliest in the Supreme Court and discussed development activities in the assembly segments they had represented.

The induction of 17 new ministers into the Karnataka cabinet on Tuesday may have brought some relief to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, but it has also given rise to resentment among BJP MLAs who could not make the cut.
