People of Karnataka have given a proper response to the party that brought the nation to the brink of worst economy in the last four and a half years.

People's answer to BJP in four out of five constituencies where by-elections were held, cannot be ignored. Ballari -Mandya Lok Sabha polls and Ramanagara-Jamkhandi assembly constituencies have given a resounding answer to communal forces.

The message is clear. If secular forces come together communal forces can be easily reduced to dust. Reddy and Ramulu camp that spoke out of arrogance, assuming people would support them like puppets has got a rather strong message.

V.S. Ugrappa of Congress has defeated his opponent with a margin of over two lakh votes. BJP candidate from Shimoga B.Y. Raghavendra has posted a difficult victory owing to his hard work. If Congress and JDS had worked in tandem, they could have clinched that seat too. This by election gives a very sharp picture of analysis. That people are tired of BJP and Narendra Modi's administration. People are willing to support any secular coalition by other parties. The role of Siddaramaiah and H.D Devegowda is very significant in this victory. CM H.D Kumaraswamy, senior Congress leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge and D.K Shivakumar worked hard to ensure the coalition succeeded in by-elections too.

More than anything else, secular forces have come together to defeat fascist rule.

The national leaders of BJP are trying to hold state leaders responsible for this drubbing. Though some say Yeddyurappa failed in this, it is actually the failure of Amit Shah and PM Modi. The quasi force that controls the government, RSS that is headquartered in Nagpur is also responsible for this.

The capitalist forces among corporates and RSS have been controlling the government of Narendra Modi's government that came into power with just 31 per cent majority in the house. The authoritarian streak in Modi's personality also added to the combination. Having ruined everything that was painstakingly created in the last seven decades, the government didn't fulfil any promises they has issued to the people. Instead, people were pushed into misery time and again.

Demonetization pushed people to endless pain. Many people died standing in the queue trying to exchange their hard earned money. The promise of creating 2 cr jobs wasn't ever met. Not even ten lakh jobs were created in the last four and half years. Prices of essential commodities couldn't be brought down. When asked about jobs, PM advised to people that they could sell pakodas and make a living.

The pain of common people wasn't adhered to, but the capitalists and the rich were given sops and tax benefits. The man who had promised 'na khaunga, na khane dunga’ aided the escape of rich industrialists such as Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, Vijay Mallya many others who looted our banks of thousands of crores.

Planning Commission was dismantled soon as this government came to power and was turned into Niti Ayog. UGC was abruptly cancelled in the recent times. Govt interfered with premier investigating agency CBI and broke it into two sides now.Judiciary and legislative were corrupted. Constitution aided administration was meddled with to leave it in shambles. Rowdy gangs were given a free run and were allowed to kill people in the name of Gau Raksha.

The party is making all preparations to cancel the Constitution and bring Manu's teachings to lead the country. The unity and sovereignty of the country is under threat. Another term to this government would leave the country in irreversible damage. In the backdrop of all these aspects, this message given through by-elections is a very strong one that states of secular forces come together, fascist forces would be reduced to dust.
