Mtb Nagaraj

Karnataka's new Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai is faced with his first political challenge since being sworn-in only days before -- dissatisfaction among his cabinet colleagues. The murmurs, however, are unlikely turn into any major trouble.

With the political drama in Maharashtra subsiding, the focus has now turned to the upcoming electoral contest in neighbouring Karnataka. On December 5, the southern state will witness bypolls to 15 assembly seats vacated by former Congress and Janata Dal Secular MLAs who switched allegiance to the BJP earlier this year.

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.

One of the rebel lawmakers of the Congress in Karnataka, who on Saturday raised hopes for the troubled Congress-Janata Dal Secular coalition by hinting he may take back his resignation, was today seen in Mumbai, creating a buzz on his next move.

After days of turmoil, the Congress-JDS government in Karnataka celebrated a small victory with a rebel lawmaker announcing that he was withdrawing his resignation.

Five more rebel lawmakers of the Congress-JDS coalition in Karnataka have approached the Supreme Court against the assembly Speaker not accepting their resignations. The lawmakers are Sudhakar, Roshan Baig, MTB Nagaraj, Muniratna and Anand Singh.

Two more Congress legislators submitted their resignation to the Karnataka speaker today, worsening the crisis for the state's ruling coalition, even as Congress troubleshooter DK Shivakumar tried desperately to meet the rebel lawmakers who are camped at a hotel in Mumbai.

A Karnataka minister, campaigning for the national election starting Thursday, decided to sway voters with some moves befitting his name. Housing Minister MTB Nagaraj of the Congress, therefore, broke into a "Nagin Dance", much to the amusement of people at Hoskote, 27 km from Bengaluru.

The Income Tax department on Saturday claimed to have detected undisclosed income worth Rs 120 crore and seized cash worth Rs 1.10 crore and 10 kg of gold after it conducted raids on a Congress legislator in Bengaluru earlier this week.
