Congress celebrates SC relief for CM's wife in Muda land case
The celebrations included special pujas at the 101 Ganapati Temple, where workers held portraits of Siddaramaiah and Parvathi, offered prayers, and chanted "Satyameva Jayate.
" They distributed sweets as a mark of celebration.
Former Muda chairman HV Rajeev, who led the special pujas at the 101 Ganapati Temple, said that the high court and Supreme Court upheld the legality of Parvathi's land compensation under the 2014 Transparency Land Act. He accused the BJP of orchestrating a conspiracy through the ED, calling the verdict a major setback for their "political drama." Rajeev demanded an apology from BJP's national and state leadership.
In another celebration, sweets were distributed to the public outside the Lokayukta police office, with activists holding posters hailing the verdict as a victory for truth. The party's Mysuru district unit president BJ Vijayakumar and KPCC spokesperson M Lakshmana led the celebrations. Participating in the celebrations, Karnataka Exhibition Authority chairman Ayub Khan said the verdict has strengthened Siddaramaiah's hand.

Legislative council member D Thimmaiah said the Lokayukta police already cleared Parvathi of any wrongdoing, and the Supreme Court's ruling exposed baseless, politically motivated allegations. He emphasised that Siddaramaiah exerted no influence in the Muda case, and the compensation followed standard procedures. Thimmaiah called for accountability for those who caused Parvathi mental distress.
During the celebrations near the Lokayukta police office, former legislative council member Go Madhusudan of BJP was passing by and was offered sweets by Congress workers. He playfully shouted "Super Jai" for Siddaramaiah. "I know all those who came offering sweets to me. It was not the time for argument," he said.

Appeals court finds Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship unconstitutional, upholds block
A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday (July 23, 2025) that President Donald Trump's order seeking to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, affirming a lower-court decision that blocked its enforcement nationwide. The ruling from a divided panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes after Mr. Trump's plan was also blocked by a federal judge in New Hampshire. It brings the issue one step closer to coming back quickly before the Supreme Court. Also read: Donald Trump faces widespread criticism for his plan to end birthright citizenship The 9th Circuit blocks the Trump administration from enforcing the order that would deny citizenship to children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily. 'The district court correctly concluded that the Executive Order's proposed interpretation, denying citizenship to many persons born in the United States, is unconstitutional. We fully agree,' the majority wrote.

Surjewala credits guarantee schemes for Karnataka emerging as State with highest per capita income
AICC general secretary in charge of Karnataka Randeep Surjewala described Karnataka having the highest per capita income in the country as a result of comprehensive development, especially the implementation of guarantee schemes. 'Karnataka has set a new milestone in economic progress. According to recent data from the Ministry of Finance, the State's per capita income has increased from ₹1,05,697 in 2014-15 to ₹2,04,605 in 2024-25 — a growth of 93.6%,' Mr. Surjewala said in a release on Wednesday. Karnataka's performance far exceeds the national average growth of 57.6%, he noted, called it 'a fitting reply to the Opposition's criticism of our guarantee schemes.' 'Including Gruha Lakshmi, the five guarantee schemes — Shakti, Anna Bhagya, Yuva Nidhi, and Gruha Jyothi — have transferred a combined ₹93,000 crore directly to beneficiary accounts so far,' he said. 'The increase in per capita income and the positive impact of the schemes are clear indicators that Karnataka is not only becoming economically stronger but is also achieving social justice and equity,' he contended. 'The guarantee schemes that are being implemented since 2023 were not introduced for vote-bank politics. They were implemented for all poor people of Karnataka — regardless of caste, class, or gender — with no discrimination. As a result, many have been able to rebuild their lives,' he said. Many beneficiaries are investing the saved money into self-employment, he said, He further stated that Karnataka's remarkable economic growth was also powered by the Information Technology (IT) and Biotechnology (BT) sectors. Stable growth in manufacturing, agriculture, and service sectors too had supported the rise in per capita income. Minister Sharan Prakash Patil and Congress MLC Dinesh Guligowda too, in separate releases, credited the guarantee schemes for the State achieving 'a new economic milestone.'
