Channabasappa (Chenni) of the BJP has written to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly that he will not be accepting the IPL cricket tickets offered by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). In his letter dated April 6, Mr. Channabasappa said the cry of 11 persons who lost their lives in a stampede during the IPL victory celebrations of RCB in 2025 is still ringing in his ears. “In the midst of the pain, for us to be seen demanding the IPL tickets in the House makes us look smaller in the eyes of the public,” he stated.
