Siddaramaiah Security Breach: A potential security breach involving Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah occurred on Sunday when an unidentified man rushed towards the stage during an event in Bengaluru, where the Congress leader was present alongside other dignitaries. The man was promptly apprehended by the police and security officials present at the spot.

The incident came just a day after a row erupted over the mishandling of Ganesh idols by police in Bengaluru's Nagamanagala. Earlier on Saturday, a controversy erupted after images of a Lord Ganesha idol placed inside a police van during a protest went viral.

The images, showing the idol inside a van typically used for transporting arrested protesters, drew criticism from political and religious groups.

Earlier on International Democracy Day Siddaramaiah said, "In Karnataka, our government is dedicated to building a state where democracy thrives, communities live in harmony, and secularism is upheld. But the threat to these values persists. Together, we must remain vigilant, stand united, and continue to nurture Karnataka as a peaceful garden of all communities."

Speaking at a rally on Saturday the Karnataka CM also alleged that there were some who were working to stop the guarantees of the state government.

"I have instructed the Cauvery Corporation officials to submit a proposal immediately to deliver water to the last part of the VC canal. Those who are conspiring to stop the guarantees of the state government are not working for the development of Mandya. So, it has been proved that those who spend their time only talking have no concern for the farmers, the backward and the Dalits. All the works of the Agriculture Department, Irrigation Department, Health, Education, Rural Development, Backward Classes Department, and Public Works Department are going on in the state. Not a single work of any department has been stopped. So do not pay attention to the lies of Sardar that the government has no money. I had started the Purigali irrigation scheme earlier when I was the Chief Minister. The work will be completed soon. I will inaugurate this project myself," Siddaramaiah said.
