Participated in the protest organised in Kalburagi demanding the release & implementation of Socio - Economic and Educational survey report prepared by Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes.

#SocialJustice
The survey by Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes is not just a caste census, but also socio-economic & educational survey of all the families in Karnataka.

#SocialJustice
The survey is free from bias & prejudice. Enumerators were teachers, who were not from any one particular caste or religion.

This survey is not against any caste. This is to ensure Social Justice.

#SocialJustice
This report will enable governments to formulate programs based on socio-economic & educational realities of every caste.

This was also the objective of the survey.

#SocialJustice
Few are spreading fake news about the report being leaked & that there are sections in the report which is against few castes.

If the report is leaked, let them prove it by submitting the evidence.

#SocialJustice
I had told @ucpshetty, who was backward classes welfare minister during Coalition govt, to accept the report. He had even called for a meeting.

@hd_kumaraswamy then threatened to remove him from the cabinet.

I invite @BJP4Karnataka MPs, MLAs and leaders to join during the protest to raise our voice for the State’s Rights.

We are staging protest at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar on February 7 to safeguard the interests of the state.

We are committed to honouring the trust and opportunity bestowed upon us by the citizens of the state. We anticipated that the Union government would adhere to the principles of the federal system, and we have been awaiting the fulfilment of the commitments made in last year's budget. The state government is inviting all parties to join the protest to demand justice for Kannadigas. We are protesting to ensure that our concerns are heard by the Union Government.

The Union Government had announced to provide Rs 5,300 crores to the Upper Bhadra scheme in the last year's budget and they have not released a single rupee so far. They have not released anything for drought relief either.

This is not a political protest by the Congress Party against the BJP. We are protesting to highlight the unfair treatment by the Union Government, urging all Indians to take notice of this injustice.
Under the 14th Finance Commission (2015-2020), Karnataka received 4.71% of the tax share, which was reduced to 3.64% by the 15th Finance Commission (2020-2025). This 1.07% decrease resulted in an estimated loss of Rs 62,098 crore for Karnataka over five years. To compensate, the 15th Finance Commission recommended a special grant of Rs 5,495 crore for Karnataka in the interim budget, which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman subsequently declined.

Additionally, there were recommendations for Rs 3,000 crore each for lake and water body development and peripheral ring road projects. Altogether, Karnataka missed out on a total of Rs 73,593 crore.
Despite our criticism that GST was unscientific, the Union government went ahead with its implementation. Before GST, our state's tax collection growth was at 15%. The Union Government promised that GST would not only increase tax revenues and central grants but also offered assurances of compensation for any potential losses. However, this compensation was discontinued in June 2022, after just five years. This cessation has significantly impacted our ability to achieve a 15% tax collection growth rate again. We have appealed for the continuation of this compensation, but the Centre has yet to make a decision on this matter. As a result, we continue to face unjust treatment under the GST regime.

.@CMofKarnataka @BSBommai should immediately resign for his involvement in the 'Operation Voters' scam.

All the officers involved in the scam & @BSBommai should be immediately arrested.

#OperationVoter
'Operation Voter' is the continuation of 'Operation Lotus'.

This is an attempt to uproot the democracy in our country. High Court Chief Justice monitored judicial probe should be initiated.

#OperationVoter
We suspect the involvement of state election commission too in the scam at the behest of @BJP4Karnataka govt.

Election commission of India should take this issue seriously & investigate.

I felt good listening to the heroic speech of @CMofKarnataka @BSBommai during 'Janamardana', oh sorry, 'Janaspandana'.

Sangh Parivar will not tolerate such display of heroism. Don't forget that @BSYBJP unfortunately went to jail for performing similar acts.

#ಜನಮರ್ದನ_ಸರ್ಕಾರ
.@BSBommai has challenged us to beat @BJP4Karnataka's yatra. Why should we compete with them?

Empty chairs clearly indicate that people have only rejected their 'Jatre'

#ಜನಮರ್ದನ_ಸರ್ಕಾರ
Mr @BSBommai,

Even you are aware that you are incapable of challenging us. If you think you are courageous enough, first expand the cabinet or even at least take action against Yatnal.

My question was to @RSSorg, but it is @BJP4Karnataka leaders who are answering.

Why are they thumping their chest?

Are the leaders of RSS incapable of answering?

#AryanRSS
.@RSSorg claims to be the sole protectors of Hindus, but supports only @BJP4India.

Don't they see Hindus outside BJP?

#AryanRSS
Based on what criteria has @RSSorg decided that only @BJP4India leaders are Hindus?

According to RSS, What should be the criteria for one to be called a Hindu?

.@CMofKarnataka position has become a 'Payment Seat' for @BJP4Karnataka.

The allegation by Basanagouda Yatnal about the demand for 2500 CR to make him CM is a serious issue. Only investigation will reveal the truth.
If the investigation is not conducted, it only implies that @BSBommai has accepted to have paid crores of Rupees to become CM.

He will not be able to continue as CM on Moral grounds.

#ಪೇಮೆಂಟ್_ಸಿಎಂ
If we listen to what Yatnal says, it shows that he has lot of data on BJP's corruption.

He should be called for investigation to extract the information & to reveal the truth.

I urge @CMofKarnataka @BSBommai to abide by High Court order & immediately withdraw the order issued by Minorities Welfare dept directing minority educational institutions.

#HijabCircular
There is an interim order by High Court regarding Hijab issue. The court has said that the order is applicable only in those schools where school welfare committee has prescribed uniforms.

#HijabCircular
Principal Secretary of Minorities Dept has said in the circular that interim court order is applicable to all residential schools & Maulana Azad schools under Minorities department.
