Bengaluru: The Karnataka Assembly, which should be focusing on critical public issues, is instead embroiled in discussions on ‘honeytrap’ controversies, drawing strong criticism from the public. GS Gopal Raaj, Editor of City Today News, has condemned this misuse of legislative time and urged lawmakers to prioritize the real concerns of the people.
“Is the Honeytrap Issue More Important Than Public Welfare?”
At a time when Karnataka is grappling with pressing issues like unemployment, farmer distress, education crises, and failing infrastructure, elected representatives are spending hours debating a politically charged scandal.

Speaking on the matter, GS Gopal Raaj remarked: “Legislators are meant to serve the people, not indulge in endless debates over controversies that law enforcement agencies should handle. The Assembly should be a platform for policy-making, not a stage for political drama.”
Public Backlash Over Misplaced Priorities
Citizens, activists, and political analysts have echoed similar concerns. Many believe that discussions on governance, economic growth, and welfare schemes should take precedence over sensational political scandals.
“If our lawmakers spend more time solving real problems instead of debating scandals, Karnataka would see meaningful progress,” a public policy expert commented.
As demands for accountability grow, the government is under pressure to refocus legislative discussions on issues that impact people’s daily lives. Whether the Assembly will take corrective measures or continue with political distractions remains to be seen.
