Rajya Sabha, MLC polls: Karnataka BJP core committee meeting on Saturday

The state BJP Core Committee is set to meet here on Saturday to discuss the forthcoming Legislative Council and Rajya Sabha elections, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said while speaking to the mediapersons at his residence.
“We discussed other issues during the meeting with BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel on Thursday. The issues related to Council and Rajya Sabha elections would be discussed in detail at the Core Committee meeting,” Bommai said on Friday.
Regarding the reservation for the Backward Classes in the Local Bodies election, Bommai said, “The BBMP election issue is being heard by the Supreme Court. Reservation has to be provided for Backward Classes in Taluk and Zila Panchayat elections legally and in accordance with the Constitution.
A Commission has been constituted in this regard. We have requested for more time to get the Commission submit its report or allow for conducting the elections as per the earlier reservation system. It is almost likely to get the nod,” Bommai said.
The Rajya Sabha elections from the state legislature for four seats will be held on June 10. Tenure of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, BJP Rajya Sabha member K.C. Rammurthy, former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh of the Congress, who was elected from Karnataka will end on June 6. One Rajya Sabha seat was lying vacant after the demise of former Union Minister and Congress veteran leader Oscar Fernandes.
Going by the numbers in the state legislature, ruling BJP could bag two Rajya Sabha seats and the Congress could win one seat easily. The national parties need the support of JD(S) for another seat. Sources said that the BJP was contemplating fielding JD(S) supported candidates through the party to win three among 4 seats.
The selection of Niramala Sitharaman is assured and the BJP is yet to decide on another candidate. Jairam Ramesh will be the most probable candidate from the Congress.
The elections to the seven Legislative Council seats are going to be held on June 3 and another four seats would be held on June 13.

Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani’s Daughter’s First Photos LEAKED? Here’s The Truth Behind Viral Images

Bollywood’s much-loved couple Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on July 15 in Mumbai. The next day, the actors confirmed the happy news through a joint Instagram post, while also requesting privacy for their daughter.
The couple did not share any photos of their daughter and also requested paparazzi not to take her pictures or record videos. However, several a few days back, a set of pictures showing Sidharth and Kiara holding a baby surfaced on social media.
In one photo, Sidharth is seen cradling a child and looking at her affectionately, while another shows Kiara holding the little one with the couple smiling joyfully. The photos quickly went viral, with fans flooding the comment sections with congratulatory messages and blessings. Some even remarked that the baby resembled Kiara.
However, the images are fake. A section of social media users pointed out that the viral photos have been digitally altered and do not feature the actors with their newborn daughter. They also flagged the visuals as AI-generated, clarifying that the baby shown was not Sidharth and Kiara’s child.
Also, the new parents have not shared any pictures with the media or on their official social media accounts.
Sidharth and Kiara welcomed their first child — a baby girl — on July 15 in Mumbai, 2.5 years after their marriage. They had tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in February 2023 after dating for several years.
In February 2025, they took everyone by surprise as they dropped a picture of two tiny knitted socks and announced that they were set to welcome their first child.
A day after the birth of their daughter, Sidharth and Kiara took to their social media and shared an official statement which read, “Our hearts are full and our world forever changed. We are blessed with a baby girl!”
They later also requested the paparazzi to not click their child until the family allows it.
