The MLA’s statement is wrong. And frankly, not surprising.
First, it exposes their priorities. At a time when real issues of the state demand attention, raising something like this in the Assembly is itself telling.
And if the Speaker chooses to act on it, it diminishes the dignity of the Vidhan Soudha itself.
Now, let’s ask the basic question.
Why should the KSCA, or any sports body, give free tickets to MLAs?
Why should they “owe” them anything?
This is plain entitlement. Feudal thinking.
An MLA demanding free tickets, a separate gallery, and refusing to sit with the public reveals their belief that they are somehow above the very people they represent.
That is the problem.
If citizens have to buy tickets, so should MLAs. Simple.
Unless we call this out clearly, we will keep normalising a culture of entitlement. And that is the opposite of what a modern, equal, democratic society should stand for.
This is wrong. It must be opposed.

“We are VIPs, We Cannot Stand in Queues: KSCA Should Give 5 Tickets to Each MLA and Minister of Karnataka,” says Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar Bengaluru Congress MLA Vijayananda Kashappanavar has strongly criticized the Karnataka State Cricket Association (#KSCA) for denying tickets to legislators and ministers for the upcoming Indian Premier League (#IPL) matches starting March 28. Speaking to reporters, Kashappanavar said that despite availing government facilities such as security, KSCA has failed to show respect to elected representatives. “They are not issuing tickets to MLAs, ministers, or their families. Instead, they are asking people to book online. We all know how online booking works,it leads to black marketing. Tickets worth ₹5,000 are being sold for ₹35,000,” he alleged. The MLA demanded that at least five tickets be allotted to each legislator along with separate seating arrangements. “We are VIPs; we cannot stand in queues. Last time, we were made to sit in the general gallery with the public. This should not happen again,” he said, adding that the issue has been raised in the Assembly and taken up with the Speaker. Kashappanavar further revealed that the Deputy Chief Minister has assured legislators of resolving the matter by arranging tickets and ensuring proper seating. On the Home Minister’s meeting with KSCA, Kashappanavar dismissed claims of effective guidelines being issued. “There are no proper guidelines. KSCA has become too powerful because IPL matches are happening. They are collecting money and enjoying it. If this continues, we will fight against it,” he warned. @INCKarnataka @BJP4Karnataka @BCCI @IPL @RCBTweets

Thanks a lot for giving us our Legendary trio Virat, AB & Gayle!
No one can match your aura as an owner🔥
Thank you once again Mallya Anna❤️

I would like to heartily congratulate the new owners of RCB. I wish them the very best and Godspeed with the most valuable IPL franchise. When I bought the franchise in 2008 for INR 450 crores, most people laughed at me and criticised my investment as a vanity project. Behind my much touted madnesses was building the Royal Challenge brand and hence I named the franchise RCB. Immensely gratifying to see my INR 450 crore investment grow to INR 16,500 crores. RCB will always remain a part of my DNA with indelible memories including picking the young Virat Kohli who is now amongst the best in the World. To all RCB fans who came on board during my stewardship and beyond, a grateful thank you and please continue to support RCB the Lion of Bengaluru. Namaskara.

ಸ್ಟೇಶನ್ ಗಳಿಗೆ ಆ ಊರುಗಳ ಹೆಸರು ಹಾಕೋದು ಸೂಕ್ತ. ಬಿಳೇಕಹಳ್ಳಿ ಸರಿಯಾದ ಹೆಸರು.
ಊರುಗಳ ಹೆಸರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಸರ್ಕಾರಿ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳು, ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಕಲ್ಬರಹಗಳಲ್ಲೂ ಕೂಡ ಆ ಊರಿನ ಹೆಸರಿರುತ್ತದೆ.

The easiest way to trigger entire Bengaluru twitter is to inform them that Whitefield, established around 1882 is older than Jayanagara - 🤣
Dr Deepak Krishnamurthy@DrDeepakKrishn1
In 1882, Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar X of Mysore granted approximately 3,900 acres of land for the establishment of the settlement now known as Whitefield. [1] Key Details of the Grant Recipient: The land was given to the Eurasian and Anglo-Indian Association of Southern India. Purpose: It was intended to create a self-sustaining agricultural and industrial settlement for the Anglo-Indian and Eurasian communities. Initiator: The request for the land was spearheaded by David Emmanuel Starkenburgh White, the president of the association, after whom the area was subsequently named. Original Layout: The settlement was uniquely planned with a circular layout, featuring an "Inner Circle" and "Outer Circle" that are still visible today. Location: The allotted land was located in the Kadugodi area, then on the outskirts of Bangalore. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Historical Significance The Maharaja's grant transformed what was then a remote area into a "Pensioners' Paradise" and a quiet colonial hamlet. This foundation eventually paved the way for Whitefield's 20th-century evolution into one of India's major IT and commercial hubs. [5, 6, 7, 8] Would you like to know more about the colonial landmarks still standing in Whitefield today or the history of its IT transformation? #NammaBengaluru

@INCIndia how can winning elections take a son to such low that he is bringing election state on his ailing mothers bed
English
Last night, I was sleeping on a small sofa in my mother’s room at the hospital, and like any son, I was extremely worried about her health.
The whole night, I was comforted by only one thing. I was comforted by a nurse from Keralam who came in every hour to check on my mother. Every single hour, she would come and check on her. She would smile, and she would hold her hand. I found myself thinking about how many sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters have been comforted in their most difficult moments by nurses from Keralam.
Early in the morning, I asked her, “Do you sleep at night, or do you work the whole night?” And she said, “I work all night.” So, while the whole world sleeps, women from Keralam, not only in Keralam but also in Delhi, across the country, and around the world, are comforting people, holding their hands, and making them feel at ease.
For me, this is the spirit of the state of Keralam.

Talaguppa gets its Friday train regularised but don’t see it in irctc website.
Hope intercity from SBC/YPR to Talguppa soon. No vande Bharat, need normal connectivity train,
Technically intercity exists between YPR and Shivamogga so less chance or new one.

Regularisation of trains over SWR 1/2

The complaint regarding food quality raised by a passenger in train number 21896 (Patna - Tatanagar Vande Bharat Express) on 15 March 2026 has been taken seriously. Action taken — IRCTC has been penalised ₹10 lakh, the service provider has been penalised with ₹50 lakh, and ordered to terminate the contact. Passenger safety and quality remain our top priority.

First Anil Kumble Circle.
Then near Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Ricky Rai allegedly drifted at TWO locations in Bengaluru, treating public roads like a racetrack.
CCTV visuals from near Tonic expose the reckless act. This wasn’t a mistake. It was repeated,deliberate stunt. #Bengaluru
Harish Upadhya@harishupadhya
Another night, another rich brat stunt in #Bengaluru. Luxury Lamborghini drifting repeatedly at Anil Kumble Circle, MG Road around 2–3 AM. Reckless driving, zero concern for public safety. Money can buy supercars, it shouldn’t buy immunity from the law. Police have filed an FIR

@ANI Only if they could auction those 11 seats before every game & help the family financially by sending those specific ticket amounts to families could've made it more sense!

Bro went to China as a tourist.
Bro was amazed how, despite such a huge population, the roads are mostly horn free.
Bro was surprised at how disciplined people have become in just two decades.
So Bro did some research and found that government schools played a major role in reshaping China and its people.
Arvind Kejriwal wanted to focus on the same, investing in education and health.
But Indians prefer temple, religion, WhatsApp university and propaganda films like Dhurandhar for source of knowledge.

@INCKerala @virsanghvi you should tweet about home ownership when X Italian bar dancer clears the due rent for govt. house in Central Delhi
English
"The cars are so important to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, he even has a special home for them. A short walk from his own residence."
This was said by veteran journalist @virsanghvi, who did a show with him for Star TV in 2011.
Now the problem is, he only declared the home of his cars or car-shed in the affidavit. The number of which #419, and didn't declare his 49000 sq ft mansion sprawling across 1.07 acres in Koramangala 3rd block. None of these luxury cars or aircraft mentioned in the video are declared as part of his assets either.
Do you need more @BJP4Keralam? Enjoy!
@CeoKerala and @ECISVEEP, let us know if you need more evidence for disqualifying him.
