@CMofKarnataka

I have a suggestion to @CMofKarnataka @BSYBJP and his cabinet colleagues. Convert the #SuvarnaVidhanaSoudha in Belgaum, which is used only once or twice a year for legislature sessions, into a permanent multi-speciality hospital to serve the people of North Karnataka. 1/4

2/4 It was a vanity project (like the Central Vista) on which hundreds of crores of public money was wasted. It is locked up most of the year and maintenance itself runs into crores. It’s floor area is 145,730 sq meters.

3/4 There are 4 floors and a huge basement. Perfect for a state-of-the-art hospital. Get Narendra Modi to inaugurate it, no problem. At least this act will partially salvage your and his government’s lost reputation this Covid season.

@siddaramaiah

4/4 People may pardon all your scams too. Members of the opposition with a conscience should support this conversion. Pass a unanimous resolution in the Assembly and Council ASAP. @siddaramaiah @KPCCPresident @hd_kumaraswamy @JanataDal_S @BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka

@BJP4Karnataka

What a degenerate honeytrap state #Karnataka politics has reached. After the sex scandal of one @BJP4Karnataka minister, now six other BJP ministers have gone to court seeking an injunction against broadcasting/publication of stuff against them. What does this imply?

@BSYBJP

What are they afraid of? There is so much rumour doing the rounds that it is said there may be a mini tsunami of sex CDs preparing to hit the always anarchic shores of the @BSYBJP government. Perhaps @BJP4India should sack all injunction seekers to save itself of future

@INCKarnataka

embarrassment. The 1+6 panicky ministers were all those who crossed over to the BJP from @INCKarnataka (01 is from JDS) in 2019. It is expected 02 ‘original’ ministers from the BJP stable are likely to go to court today, again seeking injunction. This makes nearly 30 percent

@H_D_Devegowda

A top (retired) bureaucrat reminded me that today marks the silver jubilee of @H_D_Devegowda being sworn in as PM (01 June 1996). I told him it is actually a year short, but, he said there is no harm in ushering it a year earlier. I asked why? 1/6

Troubled about developments in India’s neighbourhood and at the borders, he said, Gowda did so much to build goodwill in the neighbourhood during his short tenure, which has never been acknowledged by the lords in #Lutyens. 2/6

He was the most trusted PM in #Kashmir, held polls there after a decade. He had a fantastic thing going with #Pakistan. He was the first PM to focus on the North#East and stay there overnight; create a special cell in the PMO, and release a special multi-crore package. 3/6

@BSYBJP

Many are comparing @BSYBJP speech in the assembly today to Vajpayee’s ‘96 speech. It’s a travesty to do so. BSY was emotional no doubt, he almost broke down, but one felt that was for his private loss. His diction and delivery were both terrible. He was lisping and slurring.

He didn’t have the moral authority to make a soul stirring speech like Vajpayee.His party’s dark deeds of the past week to cobble up a majority were exposed, and he stood there as a loser plucking worn out phrases from fatigued corners of his mind to ignite sympathy. Didn’t work.

BSY is not much of a speaker anyway. He is so anxious that he pulls out slips with notes jotted down. In fact during the campaign one of his senior colleagues told me they are concerned that he reads and doesn’t speak, which was hindering unfettered communication with the crowds.
