- He is a trusted lieutenant of the Gandhi family, an eight-time MLA and considered a 'troubleshooter' for the Congress party. DK Shivakumar is one of the tallest Vokkaliga leaders of the Congress, who lost out in the race to Siddaramaiah and became his deputy.
Shivakumar started his political career as a student leader in the 1980s and gradually rose through the ranks of the Congress party. Some even tout him as the next 'Chanakya' of the Congress party after Ahmed Patel.
In the latest edition of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, DK Shivakumar talks about the Bengaluru Cafe Blast and alleges that some anti-social elements are behind it, emphasising that the safety of Kannadigas remains the utmost priority.
He also shares why Sonia Gandhi chose not to contest the Lok Sabha polls and took the Rajya Sabha route to become an MP. Shivakumar further states that only the Congress party can keep the Congress united and that the Gandhi Family has sacrificed a lot.
Shivakumar hits out at the centre and claims injustice to Karnataka in tax devolution, claiming 'stepmotherly' treatment. He also delves into the Cauvery water wars and the Bengaluru water crisis.
Additionally, Karnataka Deputy CM speaks on the preparation of the party for the Lok Sabha polls and shares his plans for the state in the upcoming years.

This interview shows and proves that there is no content with congress. I am from Karnataka. All I hear is "No comments ".
Why did you vote for him in karnataka then????
Maybe u need to check ur brain😅

As Bangalorian, as a Veera Kannadiga, as a proud Indian, I believe there no politician in this country that is Bharat more corrupt, hateful and violent than D.K Shivakumar. Siddaramaiah comes close but this man takes the gold, pun intended!
Most bangaloreans dont even speak kannada bro😂 shut up😂😂
very true
Absolutely true

Dude, u have no idea about UP of 1990’s- 2010. We had tens of them. Now UP is in better position thanks to current government.

Smita Ji....
Full respect to you for bringing so many questions... Never knew this leader was such a wastrel, until today. I haven't seen anyone dodge questions so many times in one single interview... Oh god! It was exhausting. Good job at bringing people from the other side, so that the public gets a reality check and also great work on speaking for Kangna today!
He is a leader? He is a 3rd rate human and a rowdy. He belongs in a high security prison or 6 feet under.
The summary of this podcast is "I don't want to discuss this in the media" 😂😂😂
Did you listen to the whole podcast?? I stopped at 1:29. Cant listen the chamchas anymore
He was really big rowdy in Bangalore, we kannadigas have suffered enough because of people like him. He gave Kaveri water to TamilNadu, we will never forget that.
Kaveri River Is Flowing Through Other State As Well Sir. Don’t You Think TN People Also Dependent On It. Kaveri Water Is Only For Karnataka State.
@@AdithiyaSankaranyou’re absolutely right, sir. Allow me to clarify the point. It is certainly true that the river flows through Tamil Nadu as well and they are entitled to its water. But the issue is of quantum. From the days of the Raj, the authorities have divided the share of water between the two states very unfairly in favour of the then Madras Presidency and later TN; and every attempt at rectifying this issue has been met with apathy at best and animosity at worst on the part of the central authorities and the TN government. The requirements to over irrigate cash crop farms in TN have been prioritised over drinking water requirements in Karnataka. I’m happy to go into much more detail over this, but I hope this clarifies our contention.
@@AdithiyaSankaran
As of now, Mettur dam is filled with water completely and KRS is totally dry, this is the latest news.
We are not saying we need all the water from kaveri, infact we cannot. There should be a fair distribution.
Ultimately lot of unused water is being let out to ocean at the end.
@@adithyaavadhani
Also i would say, there is no real interest by the Karnataka government in fixing the water issue here.
There is huge difference between Karnataka Govt and TN Govt with the will and commitment in securing the interest of the water requirement of the people.
We have spent huge tax payers money on SC lawyers on this issue, lost all time.
@@amazer6915 , Mettur Dam Is Not Filled Sir, 61 FT Water Is There and Majority Of The Time Mettur Dam has water till 80 ft that too not all the seasons TN Kaveri river belt villages are dependent on it for both drinking & agriculture. Every Year Karnataka Government Does the same in Kaveri river water sharing. Even if there is good rainfall for Karnataka have seen in news stating don’t release water. Supreme Court has to intervene & order the Karnataka state government to release water. Understood this year Bangalore is suffering but villages around Tanjore & ariyalur always faces these water shortages throughout year. Only time when they don’t have problem is when river Kaveri flows during Karnataka’s monsoon season.
2013 assets ₹213 crores and now ₹1,400 crores. This is typically Congress type of development.
How come so much money n from where
What about Adani scam? Electorol bonds extortion racked?
@@ahsaannetwork When the SEBI and Committee appointed by SC did not find any truth in case of Adani. You call yourself a Network Official and is it Anti-National Network supporting Hindenburg? Electoral Bond collected through Banking System and Gobi Media like you call it Scam.

Let's not forget those are only the declared assets, this rowdy owns all lands in Kankpura area of bengaluru
I understand Smita ji wanting to invite everyone but someone who personifies the most corrupt anti national doesn't deserve a national platform. This man is the shame of Karnataka, a state I love.
It’s important to have these kinds of conversations so everyone can see for themselves what type of a politician he really is
In cooker Blast also He Said Its Just Small blast😂
He called it technical snag while cooking and claimed those ter0r!$t$ as his brothers. Same in Rameshwaram cafe case where he claimed it as a business rivalry.
😂
Reporter: Sir, are you a man?
DK: I won't like to comment on this 😂
Horrible !!! He outright refuses to answer 😂😂😂😂
Dont brimg such incompetent corrupt people please 🙏
Some just refuses to attend interview, vishawaguru 😂😂😂

- I don't want to comment
As far as I know nearly 20-22
Compare him to Annamalai.. interview..Big zero.
Then why did he come for the interview? I guess his answer would be "I dont want to discuss this in media that why did I come" LOL
😂😂
You realise this is very similar to nirmala sitharamam and Amit shaha answering questions

@@ravip1849 bro i am not saying BJP is saacha, but in terms of corruption in frount of congress they are just 1 month baby.
@QueensClick143 My dear I am not defending Anyone here . But BJP Mastered Congress . You know in a short time rule in Karnataka they Minted 50 years income . Thats why they are defeated again and again .
Last time CM yediyurappa went to jail for Land scam . Ballary Mines scam was the Biggest scam in India in its history . This time they looted like 40% commission . All central govt schemes went to BJP cadre homes . This is why We have defeated them again . This central election they hardly get the same number again .

Karnataka BJP crumble because it's has weak leadership and congress used it perfectly . Bangalore is becoming Bangladesh because of overcrowded and lack of management. Looks like congress never played politics in any Situation at all. Congress is very Disciplined party 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is known to love his drinks!
Yes. This might be longest he went without alcohol. Last part of interview went abrupt because of that I guess
Don't you think he is corrupt?
He owns half of Bangalore 😂 it can’t happen without him being corrupt
His house is like a palace, it is so vulgar. On the other hand, barring a few RSS leaders, there is no one who is honest. They are all corrupt, entitled capitalists. All the socialist ideals are for us common people
Let's have every POV on the table.
Heard about G Janardhan Reddy
The most corrupt
Evar mukha, no regret for all wrong doings by him & his brother.. Karnataka people know these are 'Gunda's' turning into politics & now bcoz of JDS failure & full guarantee promise Congress won. Definitely not because of merit.. We people from Karnataka know how Siddaramaiah, DK, Kumarswamy & Yeddyurappa spoil Karnataka politics. We need young & educated people, like Tejasvi Surya, Pratham simha & few to come to power, take Karnataka to where it has to be...
Ask Him How he Made 40% Shares in Dubai LULU Mall company.. In Bangalore he had 4 Malls.. in Dubai How He Made Illegal Properties

It is hard to see DK eyes 🍺🍾🥃
Giving a platform to anti nationals like DKS is extremely dangerous. Expected better from ANI. If we must (in name of hearing all sides) at least make sure to grill him on all anti national anti sanatan stances of Khangress party
Insecurity started, no wonder Indian media is fffed up.
Anti nationals are required on news debates and channels. We get to see their true colors one on one 😂 Makes it easier to vote for people thinking leftists and Marxists can run the nation. Teesri baar Modi sarkar 🔥
He is not anti nationalist....mind your tongue....I'm from BJP but I know about his vision
@reel609 he's not anti nationalist? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 abey hutiye, entire KHANgress party is anti nation ... so kar abhi utha hain na tu beta? Wapas so ja aur thode saal baad uthna, tabtak Congress party EC mei hogi bhi nahi 😂😂
This is the Exact Level of BJP Supporters That's the Reason Why BJP Just Uses Them For Arrangement of Chairs to Those Who Come From Congress Who they Fought Whole Life & Called Anti National Suddenly They come to BJP & Get MP , Minister , CM , Party Chief Post 😂😂
Smita Ji, Do not invite anti nationals who want a separate country for South India.
no everyone should be invited i vote for bjp but dont agree with cancel culture
Agreed fully. This criminal rowdy belongs in jail.

After 10 years first time blast happened in Bengaluru.
half of the podcasts is -no comments on this , not to disclose.
What a waste.
DK: No I don't want to discuss on these issues🤣🤣
The title of the podcast episode should be “ಕಳ್ಳ ಬಂದ ಕಳ್ಳ ಬಂದ” 😂😂
This interview reminds me the the epic interview of Rahul Gandhi with Arnab back in 2014
Yes Exactly.😅
He didn’t answer any questions properly 😂😂
Can Rahool promise he will never be prime minister 😂😅😊
DK Can do whatever to become CM that is dangerous.called cooker blast bomber as brother.
Cooker Bomb was Initiated by a BJP MP and A BJP MLA .
People of Karnataka knows that .
Am a BJP guy let me tell you He will never become CM as Long as Siddaramaiah is in Congress, Karnataka has only 2 leaders who can bring more than 80 seats Siddaramaiah or Yeddyurappa
As a person from W.B. who do not follow so much politics of karnataka he is too cagey deflected so much questions
He relaxes by drinking alcohol…. He is drunk most of the times!!!!!
Wonderful conversation by smithaprakash with DCM Sri D K Shivkumar.Madam u hv spoken a bit of kannada during conversation, v r all feel proud for that.
No 1 crook, useless & corrupt.
the best questions will be asked by CBI and Tihar Jail officials - Courts will judge the answer !
Will they ask questions to only opposition party people? When will they start asking ruling party people?
1 minute silence to all,who thinks he is ,clean ,noncorrupt,nonvoilent
He is Highly underestimating the water scarcity for farmers this time all over Karnataka.
More over the water is drying up even in western ghats from where majority of the rivers in Karnataka originate.
Government should take this seriously.
What a sea of difference between Annamalai and DKS...
Lol which sea Arabian sea?? How many seats has annamalai won?
What Happened: Temple Fund Taxed & Using Devotees Money to State Dev. Program. Pathetic Karnataka Govt. going to be Solvency..
Karnataka Govt will be Free ,DKS should be Used his money, not Citizens Tax money ..
I thought he has a grip in Karnataka politics alone however how he managed the political fallout in Himachal makes him a force to reckon for national General Secretary of INC
Mam..Ask about Bangalore development please 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽..
1) When Metro will be completed?
2) When PRR will be completed?
3) When STRR will be completed?
4) State gov funding of these..
5) Ground water recharge to make water available in borewells...
How did u interview him with a straight face … pls don’t downgrade Chanakya
Chanakya gets upgraded when compared to shah?
Smith ji, What DK Shiva Kumar is talking bull shit, He says he is helping ladies, but his party is looting from single ladies, I know a lady born and brought up in Bangalore, she had a double degree. Due to her family problems to she is single lady, she don’t have job she don’t get any help from Government, She lost all her savings by bribing Congress party people. Recently she try to meet CM, but his associates take money but unable to meet, What Congress people are talking is not true ground reality is different. May be you need to interview who really sufferer.
I Don't Want to Discuss this Issue 🙃
One of my favorite politician...🙏🙏❤❤
Smita avare,
I loved
1. The way you used some Kannada words in between
2. The way you pushed for different questions in the end when DKS was dodging your tough questions
I live in Bangalore and have a washing machine but i am washing my clothes in bucket to save water and i am listening to you sir. Please we need 💧
What this waste fellow is going to do complete waste fellow
Vote for him again like you did last time. He will give you water.
This joker seems to be a history student
I have head people saying he was working as a whistle blower for rowdies to alert if police comes and was running a blue film CD business.
See the Congress mens mind ,it still in 1950s era..it's gone sir,pls move forward
This is the reason I can’t trust and vote for Congress anymore. Bunch of liars, corrupt and appeasers!
Hats off to Smitha mam for having him on record for 50mins... May be till these days Karnataka people, few people from different part of our country knew about this person's calibration. Now different parts of country will understand how Karnataka people are suffering from politicians like him. No doubt he insists Rahul to become PM.. Too many lies in this podcast. Again great Smitha mam...
In a democracy you only get what you deserve. People of karnataka voted for him.

Go ask Jay shah what kind of nut he has grown to become secretary of BCCI
Bharat will always stay united doesn't matter congress is strong or not but this country will be united and strong always
Ultimate statements of the interview -
1. Sonia Gandhi & Rahul Gandhi are not after power and hence they sacrificed the post and let Manmohan Singh become the (accidental) PM! In case of Sonia Gandhi it was the world's largest sacrifice! Wow!
2. Rahul Gandhi and his brother are heavily misunderstood when they make statements!
3. I do not want to discuss this and that!

Most corrupt person you’ll ever meet. He’s known to be almost like a rowdy element in bangalore and surrounding areas.
There are rowdies from BJP as well in Bangalore. The MLA in my constituency is a big rowdy from BJP. Always vote for the candidate in your constituency. Not for a party or a party leader who is not going to serve your constituency. If people stop voting for rowdies, parties will start rethinking whom to field and whom to not to
Most corrupt in India
Smitha madam please explain what journalism is really?
I have had the fortune or misfortune of living in Bangalore since 2003...a totally 20 years give or take...in that entire time, I've heard a few "curses"...a) as a non kannadiga, I've been abused off and on...b) that Karnataka has the curse of always having a government that isn't the same party as the centre, which is why it suffers. There have been so many excuses about the hell hole that Bangalore is...but these are facts that most would agree with.. a) after SM Krishna, in the 90s, no politician has ever given a damn about blore...we were told that our votes don't count (mind you i say this as an outsider who didn't vote in the state...I've also met serious congress people - think people who's forefathers have been union minister in India ) and so no development or fixing of roads ..now the lack of planning in that city is the single biggest reason for its water problem...it went from garden and lake city to concrete city ....not a drop of rain water would be allowed to percolate into the ground...nothing was done...then with regards to this fool who is talking.- this is what they said "DK shivkumar is the money launderer of Congress, across India"...as the party got weaker nationally, he became more important...the treasurer...their centre of power isn't a govt building..it's probably eagleton resort...but all that aside..let's put the opposite...the BJP has screwed the pooch in Karnataka, like they did in Bihar... Karnataka has been one of the most corrupt states in India, politically over the last two decades...but the BJP chose yedi...a man with no credibility but who had one thing...the lingayat vote...25 percent(?) maybe...to hell with everything else...the BJP needed an annamalai in Karnataka..instead they now have yedi's son...that poor state has had to deal with a dearth of leadership since SM Krishna (his family is a whole new story...coffee day anybody?) ....this dude is the new SM Krishna...the man with the key to the vault...it's all such a shame...a state with good people...educated and driven...how did they deserve such weak leadership
He should do interview with Arnab.. that'd be the true mirror for his intellectual
Why is he not looking into the eyes of the host or at the camera!!!!?? I wonder
Chanakya my foot ! Smitha is very disappointing by calling this guy.
The most PASSIONATE politician in india. You are respected all over india👍👍👍
DKS is no Saint definitely no Samaritan. He is a seasoned politician which means opportunistic, corrupt, resourceful, enterprising, muscle power, destructive and so many things more. He is the one who is as good or even better than Amit Shah in political manoeuvring.
Neither he or congress or bjp in their current form and leadership have any stature to go good for the state or the country.
We need dynamic leading who go beyond religion and caste to make a difference.
That said DKS has become smarter in his political posturing abd surely his communication skills
This was not podcast..it was more like interview and he was completely defensive and gave answers like a politician. Says a lot about dks and Congress.
would like to know what he is smoking ..
We appreciate you for keeping the Congress going , all the best in the forthcoming LS ELECTION.
ANI destroyed its 150 milestone moment with this podcast. Worst ever podcast among all the podcast that I have watched so far.
IF DK WOULD NOT BE PSEUDO SECULAR IN CONGRESS I WOULD DEFINATELY VOTE FOR HIM...
Sadly he is not which means you'll not vote him which means he'll be unpopular with no voting support
He is not pseudo secular trust me,most of his protégés are Muslims,Christians and Hindus,Marathas,Mallus,Tuluas
