Karnataka’s Political Turmoil: Honeytrap Scandal Unfolds
BENGALURU: A political storm has erupted in the Karnataka Assembly following shocking allegations of a honeytrap scandal involving a senior minister and 48 others, including legislators, politicians, and judges. The issue took center stage after state cooperation minister K N Rajanna admitted to being a honeytrap victim himself, igniting heated debates among members.
Admissions and Accusations
Rajanna claimed, “I am not alone; 48 others, including legislators, central leaders, and judges have been honey-trapped, and their obscene videos have been made.” This admission led Karnataka’s Home Minister G Parameshwara to announce a high-level probe into the matter based on a complaint to be filed by Rajanna.
The controversy initially emerged when BJP politician and former minister V Sunil Kumar accused the Congress government of operating a “honey-trap factory,” demanding stringent action against those involved. Senior BJP legislator Basanagouda Patil Yatnal alleged that the scandal was orchestrated by a senior Congress politician to tarnish the reputations of political opponents.
Rising Tensions in the Assembly
As the debate intensified, BJP MLA Munirathna, who is facing a sexual harassment complaint, claimed he too was a victim of political vendetta. He urged for a CBI investigation into the allegations, asserting, “You hang me if I am wrong, but do not indulge in character assassination.”
Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi disclosed that there had been two failed attempts to trap a senior state minister, highlighting the gravity of the situation. Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar echoed the demand for legal action against those responsible for the honeytraps, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation.
Conclusion
The honeytrap scandal has not only raised concerns about the integrity of public officials but also about the safety of citizens in Karnataka. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this political drama will impact the state’s governance.
