Political turmoil has erupted in Karnataka following allegations that several influential ministers have fallen victim to honeytrap schemes. These claims have ignited discussions among leaders from all three major parties, who are outraged by the manipulation for personal gain and view it as a detrimental development in the state's political landscape. Officials across party lines have condemned the use of honeytraps, emphasizing that such tactics undermine political integrity.
Rumors suggest that a concerted effort is underway to discredit a prominent minister from the Tumkur region through these unethical maneuvers. Following reports of the situation, it is believed that senior ministers alerted the Chief Minister about the escalating issue. The targeted minister has reportedly described this as a conspiracy orchestrated by certain individuals within his own party aimed at political sabotage.

This unfolding scandal underscores the complexities and challenges within Karnataka's political arena.
