New Delhi, Oct 10: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said allegations against BJP president Amit Shah’s son have no basis and there was no need for any investigation.

Inaugurating the new headquarters of the National Investigation Agency in New Delhi, he said such allegations are levelled “from time to time.”

“Such allegations have surfaced in the past too. They are levelled from time to time. It has no basis,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the function.

News portal The Wire reported that a firm owned by Mr. Shah’s son Jay Amit Shah saw a huge rise in the turnover after the BJP came to power in 2014.

The charge has been rejected by the BJP and Mr. Shah’s son, who termed the report “false, derogatory and defamatory.”

Mangaluru Airport turns political stage: Congress workers chant for DKS as Venugopal arrives

December 3,2025

Mangaluru, Dec 3: A group of Congress workers gathered at the Mangaluru International Airport on Wednesday to welcome AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, but the reception quickly turned into a display of support for Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.

Venugopal arrived in the city to participate in the centenary commemoration of the historic dialogue between Mahatma Gandhi and Narayana Guru. The event, organised by the Sivagiri Mutt, Varkala, in association with the Mangalore University Sri Narayana Guru Study Chair, is being held on the university’s Konaje campus.

KPCC general secretary Mithun Rai and several party workers had assembled at the airport to receive Venugopal. However, the moment he stepped out, workers began raising slogans backing Shivakumar.

The university programme will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

This show of support comes just a day after Siddaramaiah remarked that Shivakumar would lead the government “when the high command decides.” The chief minister made the comment after a breakfast meeting at Shivakumar’s residence—another public display of camaraderie between the two leaders amid ongoing attempts by the party high command to downplay their leadership rivalry.
