Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of Karnataka maintained his position in support of his son Yathindra Siddaramaiah, rejecting claims of a "cash for posting" scheme following the release of a viral film that sparked a contentious political debate.

JD (S) leader Kumaraswamy accused Yathindra Siddaramaiah of being involved in a "cash for posting scam" after seeing a video of him discussing a "list" with his father. In response, Siddaramaiah refuted these allegations, stating that the discussion was about corporate social responsibility (CSR) funds rather than illegal money transfers, as Kumaraswamy had suggested.
