Karnataka DCM @DKShivakumar said KSCA will provide 3 free IPL tickets per MLA & 2 for international matches, with an option to purchase 2 more. The decision followed talks with KSCA, DNA and RCB. MLAs can opt out in writing; no one is being compelled. “I also spoke with officials from Rajasthan, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Gujarat -about 50-60% of tickets there are distributed to government officials & related groups. Compared to them, our level of interference is far less.” He also asked KSCA to submit a proposal to increase stadium capacity by 20,000 seats & explore land for a new stadium. He added govt is planning a stadium at Suryanagar & will not excessively interfere in KSCA affairs.

It’s still not resolved. The traditional fans in my house had been running fine since 20+ years but 2 out of 4 Atomberg fans conked off in 8 months. The technician who came in was clueless. The support team is pathetic. @atomberg_tech @arindam___paul

@arindam___paul @atomberg_tech @AtombergT My two new Atomberg fans have stopped working and the customer care randomly closes the complaint. This is really annoying!

“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
