D K Shivakumar, the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, addressed media reports claiming that Congress MLAs from Tamil Nadu had been shifted to a resort in Karnataka, specifically the Eagleton Resort near Bengaluru. He firmly stated that these claims were false and that he had no knowledge of such movements. The political landscape in Tamil Nadu has become increasingly active following the recent Assembly election results, with parties engaged in discussions regarding government formation. Shivakumar mentioned that he had only seen media reports and had not been in contact with the Congress high command regarding the situation. Additionally, he commented on the ongoing political dynamics in Tamil Nadu, stating that he lacked information on the shifting political alignments among legislators. On another note, he expressed his respect for former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, wishing him well on his birthday celebrations. Furthermore, Shivakumar addressed allegations concerning ticket allocations by the Karnataka State Cricket Association, clarifying that he had represented the views of legislators regarding match tickets. He refuted claims that the recent decision to shift the IPL final from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad was influenced by ticket distribution, attributing the controversy to the BJP's attempts to politicize the issue.
