Communal forces suffer loss of face
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.

Speaker rules out discussion on Guv''s conduct amid K''taka Assembly standoff
Bengaluru (PTI): In an effort to end the logjam over the Governor's address that has stalled proceedings for the past week, Karnataka Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Wednesday ruled that legislators should not discuss Thaawarchand Gehlot or his conduct in the house, saying such debates send the wrong message to the public.
The House has witnessed repeated disruptions and adjournments since the session began on January 22 over the issue of the governor's conduct.
During his address to the joint sitting of the Karnataka legislature on January 22, Gehlot read out only three sentences from the 122-paragraph speech prepared by the state government.
The speech included criticism of the Centre for replacing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) with the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajivika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G), portions of which the governor declined to read.
Concluding his address in about two minutes, the governor left the house, triggering a commotion as Congress legislators attempted to gherao him and raised slogans.
While the opposition BJP accused the ruling Congress and its ministers of "insulting" the governor and demanded action, the treasury benches countered by claiming the governor had "insulted the National Anthem by leaving before it was played."
The house again witnessed heated arguments on the issue earlier in the day, leading to adjournment.
During the interruption, Khader held a meeting with ministers and opposition members to resolve the impasse.
When proceedings resumed, the speaker delivered his ruling.
Referring to the events of January 22 and the subsequent debate, Khader said the conduct and discussions had conveyed the wrong message to the public.
"Our conduct as members of this House and the opinions expressed must be in good taste and in accordance with constitutional provisions. They must uphold the dignity of the House and its members. We must introspect in this direction," he said.
He stressed the need for caution to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
"Let us end this matter here, continue the discussion on the motion of thanks to the governor, and refrain from discussing the governor or his conduct in this house," the speaker said.
Leader of the Opposition R Ashoka said the house should express regret over what he termed an "insult" to the governor.
Responding, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the situation would not have arisen had the governor read out the entire address.
"Asking the house to express regret is not appropriate. Why did the governor leave even before the National Anthem was played," Siddaramaiah asked.
BJP MLA S Suresh Kumar reminded Siddaramaiah that as Leader of the Opposition in 2011, he had asked then Governor Hansraj Bhardwaj to curtail his address.
Bhardwaj had subsequently placed the address on the table of the house, requesting members to treat it as read.
Siddaramaiah said the situation in January 2011 was different from the present one.
The debate grew intense, leading to another adjournment of the house.
