Bengaluru, January 3:
Congress leader and former Rajya Sabha MP BK Hariprasad on Saturday questioned the credibility and transparency of the ongoing Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) survey in Karnataka, alleging that the exercise lacks clarity and public trust. Speaking to reporters, Hariprasad said the survey has been conducted without proper disclosure of methodology, scope, or independent oversight, raising serious doubts about its intent and reliability. He asserted that any process linked to electoral mechanisms must adhere to the highest standards of transparency to uphold democratic values.
The Congress leader further accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to influence public perception through what he described as a “politically motivated exercise.” Hariprasad emphasised that elections are the backbone of democracy and warned that surveys conducted without accountability could erode voters’ confidence in the electoral system. He called for either a detailed public explanation of the survey process or its immediate withdrawal, adding that opposition parties would continue to raise concerns until transparency and fairness are ensured. His remarks have intensified the political debate in Karnataka, with parties trading accusations over electoral integrity and democratic accountability.

“Person Who Collaborates With Anti-National Forces Has No Right to Question Patriotism,” Says Haryana Minister
Chandigarh, January 3:
A Haryana minister on Saturday launched a sharp attack on opposition leaders, stating that any person who collaborates with “anti-national forces” has no moral authority to question the patriotism of others. Addressing the media, the minister said national security and sovereignty are non-negotiable issues and accused certain political figures of weakening the country’s unity by aligning with forces that allegedly work against India’s interests. He asserted that such actions not only undermine democratic values but also damage the nation’s global image.
The minister further emphasised that the government will continue to act firmly against elements that threaten internal security and national integrity. He accused opposition parties of indulging in vote-bank politics at the cost of national interest and said the public is increasingly aware of such tactics. Political observers noted that the remarks come amid heightened political tensions and frequent exchanges between ruling and opposition parties on issues of nationalism and internal security. The statement has sparked reactions across political circles, with opposition leaders dismissing the allegations as baseless while the ruling party defended the minister’s comments as a strong stand against anti-national activities.
