As a North Indian living in Bengaluru, it feels sad to see Kannada festivals like Ayudha Pooja and Dasara being overshadowed by Garba and Dandiya.

There’s nothing wrong with celebrating other cultures, but we shouldn’t let the traditions of the land we call home fade away.

Karnataka’s culture deserves love, respect and celebration too. ❤️💛

H'ble @nsitharaman , Below, you state that you haven't increased any taxes on the Equity, claiming the only hike was the STT on F&O
What about rise in LTCG & STCG?

Ma'am,
Before October 2004
Long-term gains on listed shares were taxed at 20% with indexation, or 10% without — whichever worked out lower. Short-term gains had no special treatment at all. They were simply added to your income and taxed at your slab, which meant 30% for anyone in the top bracket. There was no STT.

October 2004:
The Finance (No.2) Act 2004 made a trade. LTCG on listed equity went to zero under Section 10(38). STCG got a flat concessional rate of 10% under Section 111A. In exchange, a new levy was introduced — STT, collected at source on every trade, at 0.075% on both the buy and the sell of a delivery transaction.
The logic was elegant: instead of chasing capital gains through assessment, collect a small amount from everyone, automatically, at the exchange. Compliance went up, litigation went down.

2005: Delivery STT raised to 0.10%
2006: Raised again to 0.125%
2008: STCG raised from 10% to 15%
2012: Delivery STT cut back to 0.10% — where it still sits today
This is cruelty,
**2018: LTCG exemption withdrawn. Section 112A brings back 10% on gains above ₹1 lakh, with gains up to 31 January 2018 grandfathered**

**2024: LTCG raised to 12.5% above ₹1.25 lakh. STCG raised to 20%**

2026: Budget raises STT on futures and options only. Delivery untouched
Very Good.

LTCG was in lieu of STT. Why you retained & increasing both?
Please make LTCG 0 & STCG 10%. Please.🙏🙏

[Ashish Gupta @AshishGupta325]

Blatant lie that they have not increased tax.

2004 - STT was brought in lieu of LTCG.
2018 - LTCG brought back in while STT stayed. So double taxation - your government did it.
2024 - LTCG increased to 12.5 and STCG to 20% while double taxation stays.

[Ankit Chaudhary @entrepreneur987]

Nirmala Ji, Shayad aap bhool gayi hai

You have increased STCG for cash market traders from 15% to 20% and LTCG from 10% to 12.5%

So please dont say "We have not increased tax"

Your reaction to these numbers will vary from
"What was the need to send so many in that sport ?"
to
"Exposure in this sport is more important right now"
to
"We expected better from this sport"
to
"Looks as expected."

Spoke to Karnataka’s pride, M.R. Poovamma, and congratulated her on winning a Gold in the women’s 4x400m relay and a Silver in the mixed 4x400m relay at the Asian Games 2026.

As someone who has always followed athletics closely, I know the dedication and hard work it takes to compete at this level. Poovamma has made Karnataka proud once again, and our Government will stand firmly behind her, our Asian Games champions and every young athlete who is working hard to represent Karnataka and India, supporting them in every possible way.

Their achievements inspire a new generation to dream bigger and bring greater glory to Karnataka and India.
