JDS-Congress government:Six months of confusion and chaos


JDS-Congress government:Six months of confusion and chaos

The HD Kumaraswamy led Janata Dal Secular-Congress alliance state government has managed to complete six months in office with enough dosage of hardships all along the way and most of the major promises unfulfilled.


As a token of gratitude to the people of Mandya district the Chief Minister launched developmental projects to the tune of Rs 718 crores at Melukote,the historic vaishnavaite pilgrimage centre.The huge quantum of monetary assistance to any single district is the highest so far after the sworn enemies turned close friends assumed office on this day six months back.


It may be recalled here that the ruling Janata Dal Secular party triumphed in Mandya district bagging all the eight Assembly constituencies in the May 2018 general elections.The party also retained the Mandya Lok Sabha constituency in the recently held bye elections.

HD Kumaraswamy had embarrassing moments today as a farmer belonging to Mandya district committed suicide much before he landed by a chopper.The farmer was a cancer patient and had spent around 25 lakhs for the treatment in vain.

Elsewhere across the state one more farmer of Kalaburagi district ended his life.In both the incidents,before venturing into the extreme step both the victims have left suicide notes addressing the chief minister himself.So these developments provided enough stuff for the local TV channels to project them as 'suicidal deaths welcome the CM'!

Farmers loan waiver continues to remain a vexed issue as the election manifesto is yet to honoured in the real sense but for hollow claims through newspaper advertisements of having accomplished it.

Thanks to many a claimant in the Congress the much sought after cabinet expansion is yet to take place and appointments to the nearly 70+ Boards and Corporations is also being desperately awaited by the party legislators and workers.

The only solace both the partners can continue to boast of are the electoral victories after coming to power.In the five bye elections that took place to three Lok Sabha and two Assembly constituencies JDS,Congress and BJP won in one constituency while the two Assembly constituencies were shared among the Congress and JDS.

In fact these bye elections not only proved to be a testing ground for the alliance partners of taking the Bharatiya Janata Party head on jointly but also humbling the saffron party in its so called bastions so far.The outcome of these poll results have also become a major worrisome factor to the major opposition party in the ensuing Parliamentary elections during 2019.

Six months of survival by itself is a big success of this government,blasted BS Yeddyurappa,former chief minister and state BJP president.He further alleged:If this government had done anything worth mentioning,why are farmers committing suicide everyday in the state?

The CM claims himself to be a circumstantial baby and it goes without saying that such a child has any direction or goal to achieve.He spends half of his time in visiting temples and the remaining half in residing at star hotels.Every now and then he keeps claiming of throwing away the resignation papers which is nothing else but insulting the people in a democratic set up,claimed BS Yeddyurappa.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Dharwad's Arya Durga, Rukmini and Saraswati...: From Nothing to Crores and Crores...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old. Mahalakshmi Hotel boomerangs: Then Gajanan Vitthal Shetti came to Hubballi to do business. He came with his father, Vitth...
