On this news bulletin, the focus is on the Karnataka government’s controversial decision to deploy an AI-based social media monitoring tool. BJP Karnataka spokesperson Surabhi Kaurigere raised sharp objections, stating, ‘How does this not become a tool for harassment? How does this not become a tool for censorship?’ The ₹67.2 crore project aims to tackle fake news and cyber threats, but the opposition alleges it constitutes state-sponsored surveillance and an assault on privacy. In response, Congress spokesperson Dhruv Jati defended the move, citing the need to combat the high rate of cybercrime in Bengaluru and referencing global precedents like the UK’s Digital Services Act. The bulletin also covers the Madras High Court’s dismissal of actor-politician Vijay’s petition against a ₹1.5 crore tax penalty and explosive allegations by Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu regarding the adulteration of Tirupati laddus with cleaning chemicals during the previous YSRCP regime.
