Bengaluru: In a startling revelation, Karnataka Cooperation Minister K.N. Rajanna has claimed that 48 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) in the state have fallen victim to a honey trap scandal. He further alleged that there was an attempt to target him as well. The statement has sent shockwaves through political circles, raising concerns over security and blackmail tactics in state politics.
Speaking to the media, Rajanna stated that several politicians in Karnataka had been ensnared in a well-orchestrated honey trap scheme, though he refrained from naming individuals or specifying the sources of his information. He hinted at the involvement of external forces attempting to manipulate lawmakers through such illicit means.
“There have been repeated efforts to trap leaders, and many have already fallen victim to such tactics. I have also been targeted, but I managed to escape,” Rajanna asserted. He urged authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, emphasizing the need to safeguard politicians from such exploitation.
The shocking claim has sparked political debates, with opposition parties demanding concrete evidence to substantiate Rajanna’s allegations. Some leaders have dismissed his remarks as politically motivated, while others have called for immediate intervention by law enforcement agencies.

As the controversy unfolds, political watchers await further details and possible investigative action to uncover the truth behind these explosive claims.
