Siddaramaiah sting op row: Kumaraswamy questions SIT delay; Priyank Kharge alleges ED pressure

What's behind this

Union Minister of State for Railways V Somanna told reporters in Hassan that Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy is being “intentionally targeted” in the alleged Karnataka sting‑operation case, adding that using police to defame a person’s popularity is “not right”. The episode has prompted speculation, including a headline questioning whether Kumaraswamy is behind a related Siddaramaiah sting video. Earlier, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee chief B K Hariprasad described the incident as a “dirty trick” and called for action against those responsible.
