Your journey is not just political history, it is the story of social justice, courage and conviction.
From the Bhagya’s to the transformative Guarantees, you redefined welfare-led governance and gave dignity to crores of Kannadigas.
A proud torchbearer of the ideals of Basavanna, Mahatma Gandhi and Babasaheb Ambedkar, you stood firm for secularism and constitutional values even during the most challenging political times, never compromising despite immense pressure and the rise of divisive politics.
For minorities, OBCs, Dalits, and the marginalised, you were not merely a political leader, but a voice of reassurance, one who treated every community with dignity, respect and equal opportunity, while standing firmly for inclusive governance.
“Until my last breath, I will fight against communal forces. I believe in the Constitution. If not for the Constitution, I wouldn't have been literate, become a politician or even CM. I will fight against those who oppose the Constitution. I will fight for people's rights.”
These words truly reflect the life you lived and the politics you stood for.
I had the privilege of working with you as Karnataka Youth Congress President, as an MLC and as an MLA, and witnessed first-hand your unwavering commitment to people-centric politics.
Thank you, Shri Siddaramaiah avare, for your glorious public life, fearless leadership and tireless service to Karnataka. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations.

The Karnataka Government’s latest order is a strong and inclusive stand against discrimination, reaffirming that no student should be denied education because of identity, belief, faith, or tradition.
Educational institutions must remain spaces of learning and equality, where a student wearing a Hijab, Turban, Janivara, Shivadhara, Rudraksha, or any permitted symbol of faith and tradition is treated with equal dignity and respect.
This decision reflects the true spirit of our Constitution and Karnataka’s culture of harmony and coexistence. I thank Hon’ble CM Shri Siddaramaiah, Hon’ble DCM Shri D.K. Shivakumar, and Education Minister Shri Madhu Bangarappa for taking this progressive and humane decision in the interest of students and social harmony.
I thank the Government for this inclusive order against discrimination.
Hijab, Janivara (Sacred Thread), Mangalya, Turban, Shivadhara and Rudraksha are part of our centuries-old traditions and cultural identities.
Education is a Fundamental Right, and no student should face discrimination because of their faith, culture, beliefs, or traditions.
Our Constitution teaches us equality, mutual respect, and unity in diversity. Schools and colleges must promote learning and harmony, not division.
People have voted for our candidates in the by-elections, recognizing Congress’ pro-people schemes and development work.
This victory is dedicated to every party worker who worked tirelessly for our candidates.

A massive roadshow was held today across Hasabavi Circle Road, Ahmed Nagar, Basha Nagar and surrounding areas in Davanagere South along with our Congress candidate Samarth Shamanur.
The overwhelming public response clearly reflects the wave of support in his favour. The people of Davanagere South are firmly standing with Congress for its guarantees and proven development.
Our senior leaders, Rajya Sabha Member Shri Nasir Hussain, MLC Shri Saleem Ahmed, Smt. Bilkis Banu, and MLA Shri Yaser Pathan were present.
Victory is certain.

A professor calling a Muslim student a “terrorist” inside a classroom is a complete collapse of responsibility.
Suspension is the bare minimum. This mindset has no place in education.
If classrooms aren’t safe from prejudice, what are we normalising?

“Quran in one hand, laptop in the other” — a powerful statement by PM Modi, but where is the delivery? Minorities form 16% of our state, received 1% in budget allocation. Still, BJP chooses criticism over accountability.
With the People’s Budget around the corner, the people of Karnataka continue to look forward to a welfare-centric vision that strengthens livelihoods, empowers women, supports youth, and protects the most vulnerable.
Under the leadership of Shri Siddaramaiah, the Guarantee Sarkara continues to prove that governance can be compassionate, inclusive, and people-first.

Inspected the ongoing construction of the Skill Development Building and reviewed the upcoming Tamil School project at Nehrupuram, Shivajinagar. Also interacted with school children along with Inventure Academy CEO & Co-founder Noorain Fazal and Bengaluru Central Corporation engineers. Discussed project progress, timelines, and quality standards to ensure better educational infrastructure for the community.
5 years. No trial. No bail.
That’s “due process” under the Modi regime — where UAPA means Unlimited Arrest, Permanent Abeyance.
Meanwhile, rape and murder convict Ram Rahim is out on parole again — 14 times since 2017.
In New India, jail is for critics and parole is a loyalty programme.
For the powerful, freedom is flexible.
For dissenters, even liberty needs permission.

Congratulations to Shri @Siddaramaiah avare on achieving the historic feat of becoming Karnataka’s longest-serving Chief Minister.
A true champion of Social Justice, he has shown that governance can be humane, firm, and fair.
A man of his word, from the Bhagya's to the Guarantees, every promise carried intent and every intent was delivered.
This milestone isn’t about years in office;
it’s about lives lifted, dignity restored, and justice delivered.

5 years. No trial. No bail.
That’s “due process” under Modi, where UAPA = Unlimited Arrest, Permanent Abeyance.
#UmarKhalid & oths remain jailed without conviction.
Meanwhile, rape-murder convicts are out on Bail.
Jail for critics, parole for the powerful.
Freedom is flexible. Liberty needs permission.
From a modest gathering of 72 voices in 1885 to the heartbeat of India’s freedom and democracy.
The @INCIndia was born with an idea, to unite Indians, give them a voice, and challenge injustice with courage and conviction. From petitions to protests, from sacrifice to self-rule, Congress shaped the soul of a nation and laid the foundations of a democratic India.
On #CongressFoundationDay, we remember a legacy built on unity, courage, and service to the people, and renew our commitment to the values that made India free and keep it strong.
Early morning visit to Russell Market in Shivajinagar along with GBA Chief Commissioner Maheshwar Rao, where we had discussed redevelopment plans with a focus on heritage conservation, trader convenience, and public safety. Subsequently reviewed ongoing works at Ulsoor Lake and Hafiziya School to ensure quality, timelines, and public interest are upheld. Special Commissioner Baljit Singh, architects, CCC officials, and other stakeholders were present.
