Haradanahalli Devegowda Kumaraswamy, (born 16 December 1959) is an Indian politician, film producer and businessman who served as the 18th Chief Minister of Karnataka from 2018 to 2019 and previously from 2006 to 2007. He was also the leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from 2013 to 2014. He is currently the president of the Karnataka State Janata Dal (Secular). He was a member of Lok Sabha and the current member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from Channapatna since 2018, Ramanagara from 2004 to 2009 and from 2013 to 2018. He is the son of former prime minister of India & former Chief Minister of Karnataka H. D. Deve Gowda. Early life and education
Kumaraswamy was born in Haradanahalli, Holenarasipura taluk of Hassan district, Karnataka to H. D. Deve Gowda and Chennamma. He completed primary education in a government school in Hassan district. He finished his high school studies in Bangalore's MES Educational Institution in Jayanagar and Bachelor of Science degree from National College Basavanagudi, Bangalore. Personal life
On 13 March 1986, Kumaraswamy married Anitha Kumaraswamy. They have a son, Nikhil Gowda. Kumaraswamy married actress Radhika Kumaraswamy secretly in 2006. In November 2010, Radhika revealed that she was married to him and that they have a daughter named Shamika. Political career
Kumaraswamy entered politics by winning from Kanakapura (in Ramanagara District) in the 1996 general elections. He sought re election from Kanakapura in 1998 and lost to M. V. Chandrashekara Murthy. This was Kumaraswamy's worst defeat ever where he lost by such a margin that he even forfeited his deposit. He again contested unsuccessfully for a Sathanur assembly seat in 1999 when he was defeated by congress heavyweight D. K. Shivakumar. In 2004, he was elected to represent the Ramanagara assembly segment. When the 2004 state elections resulted in a hung assembly with no party getting enough seats to form a government, the Indian National Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) parties decided to come together and form a coalition government. Known for his adaptability and friendly nature, Dharam Singh of the Congress was the unanimous choice of both parties to head the government. He was sworn in as chief minister on 28 May 2004. Forty two MLAs of Janata Dal (Secular) under Kumaraswamy's leadership left the coalition and the government collapsed. On 28 January 2006, Karnataka Governor T. N. Chaturvedi invited Kumaraswamy to form the government in the state after the resignation of the Congress Government led by Dharam Singh. He was Chief Minister of Karnataka from 4 February 2006 to 9 October 2007. On 27 September 2007, Kumaraswamy said that he would leave office on 3 October as part of a power sharing agreement between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite the calls of some legislators in the JD(S) for him to remain in office for the time being, due to complications in arranging the transfer of power. However, on 4 October 2007, he refused to transfer power to the BJP. Finally, on 8 October 2007, he tendered his resignation to Governor Rameshwar Thakur, and the state was put under President's rule two days later. However, he reconciled later and decided to offer support to the BJP. BJP's B. S. Yeddyurappa was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 12 November 2007. But, again refused to support BJP government over a disagreement on sharing of ministries which resulted in Yeddyurappa resignation as Chief Minister on 19 November 2007. After the untimely demise of Karnataka state JD(S) President Merajuddin Patel, he was elected unopposed as President of the state unit. However, after the by election results of Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency and Mandya in which his party candidates lost, he resigned from the post of President of the Janata Dal (Secular) State unit, and as leader of the opposition. However, party cadres succeeded in convincing him not to quit as leader of opposition in the Karnataka Assembly. In September 2013, A. Krishnappa was selected as Janata Dal Secular's president for Karnataka, filling the vacancy left by Kumaraswamy. In November 2014 Kumaraswamy was elected as Karnataka state Janata Dal (Secular) President. In 2018 elections in Karnataka state, JD(S) was the third largest party but after a post poll alliance with the Rahul Gandhi led Indian National Congress, he was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 23 May 2018. In the 2019 parliament elections, his son Nikhil Gowda contested in the Mandya (Lok Sabha constituency) against an independent candidate Sumalatha, wife of film actor Late Ambareesh. Kumaraswamy took this contest as a prestige and campaigned all across the constituency. In vain his son lost the election by a margin of 1,30,000 odd votes. This was a major setback and abashment to Kumaraswamy in his political career. He also shed tears in a party convention in Mandya, recalling the election loss faced by his son. On the month of July 2019, his government lost its majority when 13 MLAs of Congress and 3 MLAs of his own party resigned to their MLA Posts. BSP MLA Mahesh N & 2 Independent MLAs withdrew their support for H. D. Kumaraswamy led coalition Government in Karnataka. On 23 July Kumaraswamy lost his majority in Karnataka floor test. Kumaraswamy resigned to the Chief Minister post, by submitting his resignation letter to governor Vajubhai Vala on 23 July 2019. Then BJP was invited to form the government as the single largest party, by the governor and B. S. Yediyurappa took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka by succeeding him. In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly Elections, he won from Channapatna against BJP's C. P. Yogeshwar by a margin of 20,000 votes, while his son Nikhil lost in his previous constituency, Ramanagara to the Congress candidate. His party JD(S) managed to win 19 seats of the contested 204 seats in the same elections. Positions held

On 13 March 1986, Kumaraswamy married Anitha Kumaraswamy. They have a son, Nikhil Gowda. Kumaraswamy married actress Radhika Kumaraswamy secretly in 2006. In November 2010, Radhika revealed that she was married to him and that they have a daughter named Shamika. Political career
Kumaraswamy entered politics by winning from Kanakapura (in Ramanagara District) in the 1996 general elections. He sought re election from Kanakapura in 1998 and lost to M. V. Chandrashekara Murthy. This was Kumaraswamy's worst defeat ever where he lost by such a margin that he even forfeited his deposit. He again contested unsuccessfully for a Sathanur assembly seat in 1999 when he was defeated by congress heavyweight D. K. Shivakumar. In 2004, he was elected to represent the Ramanagara assembly segment. When the 2004 state elections resulted in a hung assembly with no party getting enough seats to form a government, the Indian National Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) parties decided to come together and form a coalition government. Known for his adaptability and friendly nature, Dharam Singh of the Congress was the unanimous choice of both parties to head the government. He was sworn in as chief minister on 28 May 2004. Forty two MLAs of Janata Dal (Secular) under Kumaraswamy's leadership left the coalition and the government collapsed. On 28 January 2006, Karnataka Governor T. N. Chaturvedi invited Kumaraswamy to form the government in the state after the resignation of the Congress Government led by Dharam Singh. He was Chief Minister of Karnataka from 4 February 2006 to 9 October 2007. On 27 September 2007, Kumaraswamy said that he would leave office on 3 October as part of a power sharing agreement between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite the calls of some legislators in the JD(S) for him to remain in office for the time being, due to complications in arranging the transfer of power. However, on 4 October 2007, he refused to transfer power to the BJP. Finally, on 8 October 2007, he tendered his resignation to Governor Rameshwar Thakur, and the state was put under President's rule two days later. However, he reconciled later and decided to offer support to the BJP. BJP's B. S. Yeddyurappa was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 12 November 2007. But, again refused to support BJP government over a disagreement on sharing of ministries which resulted in Yeddyurappa resignation as Chief Minister on 19 November 2007. After the untimely demise of Karnataka state JD(S) President Merajuddin Patel, he was elected unopposed as President of the state unit. However, after the by election results of Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency and Mandya in which his party candidates lost, he resigned from the post of President of the Janata Dal (Secular) State unit, and as leader of the opposition. However, party cadres succeeded in convincing him not to quit as leader of opposition in the Karnataka Assembly. In September 2013, A. Krishnappa was selected as Janata Dal Secular's president for Karnataka, filling the vacancy left by Kumaraswamy. In November 2014 Kumaraswamy was elected as Karnataka state Janata Dal (Secular) President. In 2018 elections in Karnataka state, JD(S) was the third largest party but after a post poll alliance with the Rahul Gandhi led Indian National Congress, he was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 23 May 2018. In the 2019 parliament elections, his son Nikhil Gowda contested in the Mandya (Lok Sabha constituency) against an independent candidate Sumalatha, wife of film actor Late Ambareesh. Kumaraswamy took this contest as a prestige and campaigned all across the constituency. In vain his son lost the election by a margin of 1,30,000 odd votes. This was a major setback and abashment to Kumaraswamy in his political career. He also shed tears in a party convention in Mandya, recalling the election loss faced by his son. On the month of July 2019, his government lost its majority when 13 MLAs of Congress and 3 MLAs of his own party resigned to their MLA Posts. BSP MLA Mahesh N & 2 Independent MLAs withdrew their support for H. D. Kumaraswamy led coalition Government in Karnataka. On 23 July Kumaraswamy lost his majority in Karnataka floor test. Kumaraswamy resigned to the Chief Minister post, by submitting his resignation letter to governor Vajubhai Vala on 23 July 2019. Then BJP was invited to form the government as the single largest party, by the governor and B. S. Yediyurappa took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka by succeeding him. In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly Elections, he won from Channapatna against BJP's C. P. Yogeshwar by a margin of 20,000 votes, while his son Nikhil lost in his previous constituency, Ramanagara to the Congress candidate.

Политическая карьера
Кумарасвами начал свою политическую карьеру с победы на выборах в Канакапуре (Раманагарский район) в 1996 году. Он баллотировался на переизбрание в Канакапуре в 1998 году и проиграл М. В. Чандрашекаре Мурти. Это было самое крупное поражение Кумарасвами, когда он проиграл с таким отрывом, что даже потерял свой избирательный залог. В 1999 году он безуспешно баллотировался на место в Законодательном собрании Сатанур, где его победил влиятельный член Конгресса Д. К. Шивакумар. В 2004 году он был избран представлять Раманагарский избирательный округ в Законодательном собрании. На выборах в штате 2004 года ни одна партия не получила достаточного количества мест для формирования правительства, и Индийский национальный конгресс и Джаната Дал (Секул) (ДДС) решили объединиться и сформировать коалиционное правительство. Известный своей адаптивностью и дружелюбным характером, Дхарам Сингх из Конгресса был единогласным выбором обеих партий для возглавления правительства. Он был приведен к присяге в качестве главного министра 28 мая 2004 года. Сорок два депутата Законодательного собрания от Джаната Дал (Секул) под руководством Кумарасвами покинули коалицию, и правительство рухнуло. 28 января 2006 года губернатор Карнатаки Т. Н. Чатурведи пригласил Кумарасвами сформировать правительство в штате после отставки правительства Конгресса во главе с Дарам Сингхом. Он был главным министром Карнатаки с 4 февраля 2006 года по 9 октября 2007 года. 27 сентября 2007 года Кумарасвами заявил, что покинет свой пост 3 октября в рамках соглашения о разделе власти между Джаната Дал (Секул) и Партией Бхаратия Джанта (БДП), несмотря на призывы некоторых законодателей от ДДС остаться на посту в настоящее время из-за осложнений в организации передачи власти. Однако 4 октября 2007 года он отказался передать власть БДП. Наконец, 8 октября 2007 года он подал в отставку губернатору Рамешвару Такуру, и через два дня штат был введен под президентское правление. Однако позже он примирился и решил поддержать БДП. Б. С. Едьюраппа был приведен к присяге в качестве главного министра Карнатаки 12 ноября 2007 года. Но снова отказался поддерживать правительство БДП из-за разногласий по поводу распределения министерств, в результате чего Йедьюраппа подал в отставку с поста главного министра 19 ноября 2007 года. После преждевременной кончины президента регионального отделения Джаната Дал (Секул) в штате Карнатака Мераджуддина Пателя он был избран без соперников в качестве президента регионального отделения. Однако после результатов выборов в округах Бангалор Рурал и Мандья, где его партийные кандидаты проиграли, он подал в отставку с поста президента регионального отделения Джаната Дал (Секул) и лидера оппозиции. Однако партийным активистам удалось убедить его не уходить с поста лидера оппозиции в Законодательном собрании Карнатаки. В сентябре 2013 года А. Кришнаппа был избран президентом Джаната Дал (Секул) в Карнатаке, заняв место, освободившееся после ухода Кумарасвами. В ноябре 2014 года Кумарасвами был избран президентом регионального отделения Джаната Дал (Секул) в штате Карнатака. На выборах 2018 года в штате Карнатака ДДС стала третьей по величине партией, но после послевыборного альянса с Индийским национальным конгрессом во главе с Рахулом Ганди он был приведен к присяге в качестве главного министра 23 мая 2018 года. На парламентских выборах 2019 года его сын Нихил Гауда баллотировался в округе Мандья (Лок Сабха) против независимого кандидата Сумалаты, жены покойного актера Амбариш. Кумарасвами воспринял этот конкурс как вопрос престижа и агитировал по всему избирательному округу. Но его сын проиграл выборы с отрывом примерно в 130 000 голосов. Это был серьезный удар и позор для Кумарасвами в его политической карьере. Он также прослезился на партийной конференции в Мандье, вспоминая поражение его сына на выборах. В июле 2019 года его правительство потеряло большинство, когда 13 депутатов Конгресса и 3 депутата от его собственной партии подали в отставку со своих постов депутатов Законодательного собрания. Депутат Законодательного собрания от БСП Махеш Н и 2 независимых депутата отозвали свою поддержку коалиционному правительству во главе с Х. Д. Кумарасвами в Карнатаке. 23 июля Кумарасвами потерял большинство на голосовании в Законодательном собрании Карнатаки. Кумарасвами подал в отставку с поста главного министра, представив свое письмо об отставке губернатору Ваджубхаю Вала 23 июля 2019 года. Затем БДП было предложено сформировать правительство как крупнейшая партия, и Б. С. Едьюраппа принес присягу в качестве главного министра Карнатаки, сменив его. На выборах в Законодательное собрание Карнатаки в 2023 году он победил кандидата от БДП С. П. Йогешвара в Чаннапатне с отрывом в 20 000 голосов, в то время как его сын Нихил проиграл в своем предыдущем избирательном округе Раманагара кандидату от Конгресса. Его партия ДДС сумела выиграть 19 мест из 204 оспариваемых мест на тех же выборах.

Haradanahalli Devegowda Kumaraswamy, (born 16 December 1959) is an Indian politician, film producer and businessman who served as the 18th Chief Minister of Karnataka from 2018 to 2019 and previously from 2006 to 2007. He was also the leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from 2013 to 2014. He is currently the president of the Karnataka State Janata Dal (Secular). He was a member of Lok Sabha and the current member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from Channapatna since 2018, Ramanagara from 2004 to 2009 and from 2013 to 2018. He is the son of former prime minister of India & former Chief Minister of Karnataka H. D. Deve Gowda. Early life and education
Kumaraswamy was born in Haradanahalli, Holenarasipura taluk of Hassan district, Karnataka to H. D. Deve Gowda and Chennamma. He completed primary education in a government school in Hassan district. He finished his high school studies in Bangalore's MES Educational Institution in Jayanagar and Bachelor of Science degree from National College Basavanagudi, Bangalore. Personal life
On 13 March 1986, Kumaraswamy married Anitha Kumaraswamy. They have a son, Nikhil Gowda. Kumaraswamy married actress Radhika Kumaraswamy secretly in 2006. In November 2010, Radhika revealed that she was married to him and that they have a daughter named Shamika. Political career
Kumaraswamy entered politics by winning from Kanakapura (in Ramanagara District) in the 1996 general elections. He sought re election from Kanakapura in 1998 and lost to M. V. Chandrashekara Murthy. This was Kumaraswamy's worst defeat ever where he lost by such a margin that he even forfeited his deposit. He again contested unsuccessfully for a Sathanur assembly seat in 1999 when he was defeated by congress heavyweight D. K. Shivakumar. In 2004, he was elected to represent the Ramanagara assembly segment. When the 2004 state elections resulted in a hung assembly with no party getting enough seats to form a government, the Indian National Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) parties decided to come together and form a coalition government. Known for his adaptability and friendly nature, Dharam Singh of the Congress was the unanimous choice of both parties to head the government. He was sworn in as chief minister on 28 May 2004. Forty two MLAs of Janata Dal (Secular) under Kumaraswamy's leadership left the coalition and the government collapsed. On 28 January 2006, Karnataka Governor T. N. Chaturvedi invited Kumaraswamy to form the government in the state after the resignation of the Congress Government led by Dharam Singh. He was Chief Minister of Karnataka from 4 February 2006 to 9 October 2007. On 27 September 2007, Kumaraswamy said that he would leave office on 3 October as part of a power sharing agreement between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite the calls of some legislators in the JD(S) for him to remain in office for the time being, due to complications in arranging the transfer of power. However, on 4 October 2007, he refused to transfer power to the BJP. Finally, on 8 October 2007, he tendered his resignation to Governor Rameshwar Thakur, and the state was put under President's rule two days later. However, he reconciled later and decided to offer support to the BJP. BJP's B. S. Yeddyurappa was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 12 November 2007. But, again refused to support BJP government over a disagreement on sharing of ministries which resulted in Yeddyurappa resignation as Chief Minister on 19 November 2007. After the untimely demise of Karnataka state JD(S) President Merajuddin Patel, he was elected unopposed as President of the state unit. However, after the by election results of Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency and Mandya in which his party candidates lost, he resigned from the post of President of the Janata Dal (Secular) State unit, and as leader of the opposition. However, party cadres succeeded in convincing him not to quit as leader of opposition in the Karnataka Assembly. In September 2013, A. Krishnappa was selected as Janata Dal Secular's president for Karnataka, filling the vacancy left by Kumaraswamy. In November 2014 Kumaraswamy was elected as Karnataka state Janata Dal (Secular) President. In 2018 elections in Karnataka state, JD(S) was the third largest party but after a post poll alliance with the Rahul Gandhi led Indian National Congress, he was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 23 May 2018. In the 2019 parliament elections, his son Nikhil Gowda contested in the Mandya (Lok Sabha constituency) against an independent candidate Sumalatha, wife of film actor Late Ambareesh. Kumaraswamy took this contest as a prestige and campaigned all across the constituency. In vain his son lost the election by a margin of 1,30,000 odd votes. This was a major setback and abashment to Kumaraswamy in his political career. He also shed tears in a party convention in Mandya, recalling the election loss faced by his son. On the month of July 2019, his government lost its majority when 13 MLAs of Congress and 3 MLAs of his own party resigned to their MLA Posts. BSP MLA Mahesh N & 2 Independent MLAs withdrew their support for H. D. Kumaraswamy led coalition Government in Karnataka. On 23 July Kumaraswamy lost his majority in Karnataka floor test.

Haradanahalli Devegowda Kumaraswamy, (born 16 December 1959) is an Indian politician, film producer and businessman who served as the 18th Chief Minister of Karnataka from 2018 to 2019 and previously from 2006 to 2007. He was also the leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from 2013 to 2014. He is currently the president of the Karnataka State Janata Dal (Secular). He was a member of Lok Sabha and the current member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from Channapatna since 2018, Ramanagara from 2004 to 2009 and from 2013 to 2018. He is the son of former prime minister of India & former Chief Minister of Karnataka H. D. Deve Gowda. Early life and education
Kumaraswamy was born in Haradanahalli, Holenarasipura taluk of Hassan district, Karnataka to H. D. Deve Gowda and Chennamma. He completed primary education in a government school in Hassan district. He finished his high school studies in Bangalore's MES Educational Institution in Jayanagar and Bachelor of Science degree from National College Basavanagudi, Bangalore. Personal life
On 13 March 1986, Kumaraswamy married Anitha Kumaraswamy. They have a son, Nikhil Gowda. Kumaraswamy married actress Radhika Kumaraswamy secretly in 2006. In November 2010, Radhika revealed that she was married to him and that they have a daughter named Shamika. Political career
Kumaraswamy entered politics by winning from Kanakapura (in Ramanagara District) in the 1996 general elections. He sought re election from Kanakapura in 1998 and lost to M. V. Chandrashekara Murthy. This was Kumaraswamy's worst defeat ever where he lost by such a margin that he even forfeited his deposit. He again contested unsuccessfully for a Sathanur assembly seat in 1999 when he was defeated by congress heavyweight D. K. Shivakumar. In 2004, he was elected to represent the Ramanagara assembly segment. When the 2004 state elections resulted in a hung assembly with no party getting enough seats to form a government, the Indian National Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) (JD(S)) parties decided to come together and form a coalition government. Known for his adaptability and friendly nature, Dharam Singh of the Congress was the unanimous choice of both parties to head the government. He was sworn in as chief minister on 28 May 2004. Forty two MLAs of Janata Dal (Secular) under Kumaraswamy's leadership left the coalition and the government collapsed. On 28 January 2006, Karnataka Governor T. N. Chaturvedi invited Kumaraswamy to form the government in the state after the resignation of the Congress Government led by Dharam Singh. He was Chief Minister of Karnataka from 4 February 2006 to 9 October 2007. On 27 September 2007, Kumaraswamy said that he would leave office on 3 October as part of a power sharing agreement between the Janata Dal (Secular) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), despite the calls of some legislators in the JD(S) for him to remain in office for the time being, due to complications in arranging the transfer of power. However, on 4 October 2007, he refused to transfer power to the BJP. Finally, on 8 October 2007, he tendered his resignation to Governor Rameshwar Thakur, and the state was put under President's rule two days later. However, he reconciled later and decided to offer support to the BJP. BJP's B. S. Yeddyurappa was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on 12 November 2007. But, again refused to support BJP government over a disagreement on sharing of ministries which resulted in Yeddyurappa resignation as Chief Minister on 19 November 2007. After the untimely demise of Karnataka state JD(S) President Merajuddin Patel, he was elected unopposed as President of the state unit. However, after the by election results of Bangalore Rural Lok Sabha constituency and Mandya in which his party candidates lost, he resigned from the post of President of the Janata Dal (Secular) State unit, and as leader of the opposition. However, party cadres succeeded in convincing him not to quit as leader of opposition in the Karnataka Assembly. In September 2013, A. Krishnappa was selected as Janata Dal Secular's president for Karnataka, filling the vacancy left by Kumaraswamy. In November 2014 Kumaraswamy was elected as Karnataka state Janata Dal (Secular) President. In 2018 elections in Karnataka state, JD(S) was the third largest party but after a post poll alliance with the Rahul Gandhi led Indian National Congress, he was sworn in as the Chief Minister on 23 May 2018. In the 2019 parliament elections, his son Nikhil Gowda contested in the Mandya (Lok Sabha constituency) against an independent candidate Sumalatha, wife of film actor Late Ambareesh. Kumaraswamy took this contest as a prestige and campaigned all across the constituency. In vain his son lost the election by a margin of 1,30,000 odd votes. This was a major setback and abashment to Kumaraswamy in his political career. He also shed tears in a party convention in Mandya, recalling the election loss faced by his son. On the month of July 2019, his government lost its majority when 13 MLAs of Congress and 3 MLAs of his own party resigned to their MLA Posts. BSP MLA Mahesh N & 2 Independent MLAs withdrew their support for H. D. Kumaraswamy led coalition Government in Karnataka. On 23 July Kumaraswamy lost his majority in Karnataka floor test. Kumaraswamy resigned to the Chief Minister post, by submitting his resignation letter to governor Vajubhai Vala on 23 July 2019. Then BJP was invited to form the government as the single largest party, by the governor and B. S. Yediyurappa took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka by succeeding him. In the 2023 Karnataka Assembly Elections, he won from Channapatna against BJP's C. P. Yogeshwar by a margin of 20,000 votes, while his son Nikhil lost in his previous constituency, Ramanagara to the Congress candidate. His party JD(S) managed to win 19 seats of the contested 204 seats in the same elections. Positions held

Обвинения в двоеженстве
Кумарашвами был обвинен в двоеженстве, что является незаконным в соответствии с Законом об индуистских браках 1955 года Индии. Общественный иск был подан после появления в СМИ сообщений о его женитьбе на актрисе кино на языке каннада Радхике Кумарасвами. Поскольку Кумарашвами уже женат на своей первой жене Аните, его второй брак с Радхикой является нарушением закона. Однако, судебная коллегия Высокого суда штата Карнатака под председательством главного судьи Викрамаджита Сена отклонила иск, ссылаясь на "недостаток доказательств".
Мошенничество с шахтой Джантхакал
Кумарашвами и его жена Анита предстают перед обвинениями по делу о махинациях в добыче полезных ископаемых в Джантакале. Он обвиняется в том, что оказывал давление на высокопоставленного чиновника с целью продления срока аренды на добычу железной руды для компании Janthakal Enterprise на 40 лет, используя поддельные документы и нарушая ряд правил. Утверждается, что чиновник, Ганга Рам Бадерия, получал взятки от Janthakal Enterprise. Владелец Janthakal Enterprises, крупный предприниматель в сфере добычи полезных ископаемых Винод Гоел, был арестован в 2015 году по обвинению в подделке документов. Специальная следственная группа (СИТ) расследует это мошенничество по указанию Верховного суда Индии.
Дело Вишвабарти
Кумарашвами и его жена Анита обвиняются в злоупотреблении служебным положением при выделении 80 акров земли частному кооперативному обществу Vishwabharati House Building Cooperative Society Ltd, которое впоследствии предоставило Аните участок земли в обмен на это, во время пребывания Кумарашвами на посту главного министра в 2006 году. На видеозаписи запечатлено, как полицейские жестоко действуют против протестующих и избивают мирных жителей города, что привело к беспорядкам. Он заявил, что полиция бесчеловечно и напрямую выполняла распоряжения правительства и стала главной причиной перестрелки, в результате которой погибли два человека во время протестов. В ответ на это представители БЖП заявили, что эти видеоклипы являются смонтированными версиями старых кадров, снятых в других обстоятельствах. Они также утверждают, что Кумарашвами вводит людей в заблуждение, демонстрируя публично неподходящие кадры, которые провоцируют замешательство и насилие среди населения. БЖП подчеркнула, что Кумарашвами, как опытный политик, напрямую обвиняет правительственных чиновников и полицию, что является недопустимым.
Заявления о RSS
В феврале 2023 года Кумарсвами заявил, что на секретной встрече RSS в Дели было принято решение сделать Пралахада Джоши, брахмана, следующим главным министром Карнатаки. Это вызвало резкую оппозицию со стороны Бхаратия Джаната Парти (БДП) и Браминской Махасабхи, которые потребовали извинений за эти высказывания.
Кража электроэнергии из BESCOM
В ноябре 2023 года Кумарашвами был обвинен в краже электроэнергии у BESCOM для освещения своего дома в JP Nagar, Бенгалуру во время фестиваля Дипавали. Кумарашвами был оштрафован на 68 526 рупий за незаконное потребление электроэнергии. Кумарашвами также был привлечен к ответственности по статье 135 Закона Индии об электроэнергии (Кража электроэнергии).
