Karnataka Government has suspended Dakshina Kannada District Leprosy Officer Rathnakar on the charge of sexually harassing a woman contract employee working in his office.
However, the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal, headed by its Chairman Justice R.B. Budihal, has stayed the order of suspension.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
