Kodagu training camp is the heights of communal politics: Dr L Hanumanthayya slams BJP
Bengaluru: Taking a dig at the recent trends in Karnataka BJP’s politics in the state, member of Rajya Sabha Dr L Hanumanthayya on Monday said that this is the “heights of communal politics.”
This came after the arms training camp organized by Bajrang Dal held in Kodagu.
Speaking to Varthabharathi, he said, “Previously, BJP has consigned Trishoola to the hands of youths in various other states. Today this trend is set in motion in Karnataka. All this has to do with the upcoming assembly elections in the state.”
"It is foolish that they think they can win elections with what they are doing now. It is also unfortunate that the State's Home Minister is turning a blind eye to all of this, we've never had a Home Minister like this." he added
He also pointed that the people in Karnataka will teach a lesson to the BJP for using communal politics as their shield to occupy power.

TN Governor should invite Vijay to form govt, then prove majority: Former MP Prakash Ambedkar
Mumbai: Senior politician and constitutional expert Prakash Ambedkar has opined that Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar should invite the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam President Vijay to form the government as his party emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly elections.
Ambedkar, who is a Mumbai-based advocate, activist and also the grandson of Dr. BR Ambedkar, is a former Parliamentarian.
Citing articles from the Constitution and similar incidents in the political history of the nation, Prakash Ambedkar has explained why Vijay cannot be stopped from forming the government in Tamil Nadu, reports Deccan Herald.
“Merely doubt over whether the TVK has the necessary number cannot suffice to withhold the invitation to the party to form the government. The Governor should invite Vijay, President of TVK, the single-largest party, to form the government and assume office as the next Chief Minister. After taking charge, as per the Article 164 (2) of the Constitution, Vijay will have to prove that his government has a majority in the House,” Ambedkar explained.
He also gave examples from India’s political history supporting his argument.
Ambedkar cited the example of the 1989 Lok Sabha elections and said that, although the Congress (I) emerged the single-largest party with 194 seats, Rajiv Gandhi declined the invitation by President R Venkataraman to form the government. “My friend Vishwanath Pratap Singh, leader of the National Front, was then invited and sworn in as Prime Minister on December 2, 1989,” he added.
He then recalled the 1996 elections to the Lower House of the Parliament, when the BJP emerged the single-largest party, but the Parliament was hung as the BJP lacked a majority. “Atal Bihari Vajpayee was invited by President Shankar Dayal Sharma to form the government and was sworn in as Prime Minister. Vajpayee resigned 13 days later on May 28, 1996, after failing to secure majority support in the Lok Sabha,” Ambedkar explained.
