All disqualified MLAs, with the exception of former Shivajinagar MLA Roshan Baig, were inducted into the BJP during a ceremony held at the party's office in Bengaluru. Fifteen constituencies will go to polls next month, with the exception of RR Nagar and Maski constituencies.

Win for K’taka MLAs: SC upholds disqualification but allows them to contest bye-polls
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the former Karnataka Speaker’s order disqualifying 17 rebel Congress and JD(S) legislators. However, the apex court struck down the Speaker order, which barred the disqualified MLAs from contesting any election until the end of the present Karnataka Assembly term. This is a win for the Congress and JD(S) rebels as they will now be allowed to contest the bye-elections that are to be held in 15 segments on December 5.

‘Not given masks or boots’: Brother of manual scavenging worker who died in Chennai mall
22-year-old Ranjithkumar stands forlorn outside a government mortuary in Royapettah, Chennai. Dressed in a black T-shirt, he runs his fingernails darkened by grime across his face, a vacant expression in his eyes. His hair is matted with muck, specks of which cover his clothing. But when a friend hands over a wet cloth to help him wipe off the dirt, he waves it off, choosing to keep the reminder of a traumatic night - one which he survived, but his brother Arunkumar did not.
