A thread 🧵
Do you know the first one to suggest Partiton of the country based on religious lines? It was #VeerSavarkar
He suggested the two nation theory in while delivering the presidential address to the 19th Hindu Mahasabha session at Ahmedabad in 1937.
1/n Image
The theory of two nations was first proposed in #Savarkar’s book, Essentials of Hindutva & was later passed as a resolution by the Hindu Mahasabha in 1937.
In 1940, All India Muslim League, led by Jinnah adopted this concept in its Lahore session. Why blame Pt. Nehru?

Babasaheb on #Savarkar’s duplicity on “Akhand Bharath”
“Strange as it may appear, Mr. Savarkar and Mr. Jinnah, instead of being opposed to each other on the one nation versus two nations issue, are in complete agreement about it….
3/n Image
“I have no quarrel with Mr Jinnah’s two-nation theory. We, Hindus, are a nation by ourselves and it is a historical fact that Hindus and Muslims are two nations.”
- #Savarkar

Clearly,Muslim League & he were hand in glove when it came to splitting India
4/n Image
Supporters of #Savarkar say he stood for Akhand Bharat, but his actions & speeches were quite the opposite. He had also welcomed the possibility of Sikhs in Punjab demanding a separate Sikhistan & openly supported of the rule of princely states in India,

In the 1940s all political organizations, including Congress was banned.
Only the Hindu Mahasabha & Muslim League were allowed to function only because they served the purpose of the British & were more loyal than the king.
6/n
It was during this time that the Hindu Mahasabha led by #Savarkar ran coalition Govts with the Muslim League in Bengal, Sind & North West Frontier Province.

Why did #Savarkar run Govts with Muslim League? Why weren’t they banned when all political outfits were banned?

Dear Mr. @JPNadda, who do you think you are talking to? We are Kannadigas, we never needed a Narcissist’s blessings to prosper.
Does BJP get great joy in repeatedly insulting the people Karnataka? Prime Minister & BJP think that the entire nation was built only after 2014?
1/n
Do you think that Kannadigas lived in Stone Age before Modi became PM? We didn’t have a language or thriving culture, we didn’t have food, clothes, shelter or electricity?

There were no roads, drains, no schools, no universities or no dams. We were all jobless?
2/n
. @BJP4Karnataka has become so blinded by devotion to their Masters that they have forgotten what it is to be a Kannadiga & our contribution to the nation.
@JPNadda ji Kannada language has over 3000 years of written history & has the highest number of Jnanpith literary awards

Yesterday Sri C.T. Ravi asked me if I had any documents to prove that RSS opposed Hindu Code Bill & the Constitution.

BJP MLAs should read RSS’s Organiser archives & also the Constituent Assembly debates to know their history.
1/n
As the Hon. Speaker had asked me to submit any information (historical) I may have that RSS had rejected the idea of Hindu Code Bill & Constitution, I have done the needful, officially.

“We oppose the Hindu Code Bill because it is a derogatory measure based on alien & immoral principles.

It is not a #HinduCodeBill.

It is anything but Hindu. We condemn it because it is a cruel and ignorant libel on Hindu laws, Hindu culture & dharma”

The #AntiCowSlaughter bill was brought in with great fanfare in Karnataka. BJP MLAs wore Kesari shawls & even got Gau Mata to Vidhana Soudha & did an extensive pooja to mark the passing of this revolutionary bill. The ❤️ for Gau Mata is exposed in the following🧵

1/
Firstly, the Finance Dept did not approve of #AntiCowSlaughter because of the huge financial implications. The Dept says this is not a feasible idea as the Govt is already finding it difficult to make ends meet.
This shows the State economy is in doldrums.
2/
So, how much would it cost the Govt to appease their masters in Keshava Krupa? A whopping 5240.18 Crores.
For whose benefit was #AntiCowSlaughter? Neither the farmer nor the labour nor the leather industry benefit from it?

BJP is forcing #Savarkar on the people of Karnataka. They want his photo to be installed alongside Lord Ganesha in all the #GaneshUtsav pandals as the supreme freedom fighter of the nation.
But did he really contribute to the freedom struggle as claimed by BJP?

A thread 🧵 1/n
Seems like #Savarkar wanted to be a revolutionary, but was unwilling to pay the price of being one. People like Bhagat Singh,Azad, Bose & thousands of others paid the price with their lives,but the intimidating sentences by British did it’s job of softening him up completely

2/n
When arrested in London for extradition to India in 1910 to be tried in India for Nashik Conspiracy Case, #Savarkar approached the King’s Bench Divisional Court for writ of Habeas Corpus because the rules of evidence in India were different & extradition would be unfair.

Why would @PMOIndia inaugurate an already semi-functional campus with 3 batches of graduates having already graduated?

Anyways, a little bit of history on Bengaluru Ambedkar School of Economics (BASE) that @narendramodi ji will be inaugurating tomorrow.

2016 was 125th Birth Anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar & Govt of Karnataka wanted to pay a unique tribute to Babasaheb for his contributions to the country.
The then CM Sri @siddaramaiah sought suggestions from the leaders & representatives on what should be done as a tribute
2/n
Many of them wanted to gather all the beneficiaries of Social Welfare Dept & hold a huge rally in Palace Grounds. CM @siddaramaiah wasn’t too convinced.
That is when it hit me that it is a little known fact that Babasaheb was the only trained economist in Pt. Nehru’s cabinet.

ಕಲಬುರಗಿ - ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಡುವೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಕೆಎಸ್‌ಆರ್‌ಟಿಸಿ ಬಸ್ ದರ ₹600/650
ಈಗ ಸರ್ಕಾರವು ವಲಸೆ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಂದ ಪ್ರತಿ ಸೀಟಿಗೆ ₹1619 ಹಣ ವಸೂಲಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ.
ಹೊರ ದೇಶದಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳ್ಳವರನ್ನು ವಿಶೇಷ ವಿಮಾನದ ಮೂಲಕ ಉಚಿತವಾಗಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಕರೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೆ.ಆದರೆ, ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಬಡ ಕೂಲಿ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರಿಂದ ಸಾವಿರಾರು ರೂಪಾಯಿ ವಸೂಲಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ 1/n
ಬಡವರ ಹಣದಿಂದ ಖಜಾನೆ ತುಂಬಿಸುವ ದರ್ದು ಸರ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೇನಿದೆ?ಬಡಜನರ ಕಣ್ಣೀರಿನಿಂದ ಹಣ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಾ? ಅವರ ಬಳಿ ಅಷ್ಟೆಲ್ಲಾ ದುಡ್ಡಿದ್ರೆ, ಅವರು ತಿಂಗಳ ಪೂರ್ತಿ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆ ಹೊರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಈಗ ಅವರ ಬಳಿ ಕೆಲಸವಿಲ್ಲ, ದುಡ್ಡಿಲ್ಲ. ಅದೇ ಕಾರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಅವರು ತಮ್ಮ ಊರುಗಳಿಗೆ ತೆರಳಲು ತುದಿಗಾಲಲ್ಲಿ ನಿಂತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
2/n
40 ದಿನಗಳಿಂದ ಅವರಿಗೆ ದುಡಿಮೆ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಇಷ್ಟು ದಿನ ಅವರು ದುಡಿದು ತಿಂತಿದ್ರು, ಈಗ ಅವರೇ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬರ ಮುಂದೆ ಕೈಯೊಡ್ಡುವ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣವಾಗಿದೆ.ಇಂತಹ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಅವರನ್ನು ವಸೂಲಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಎಷ್ಟು ಸರಿ? ಅಲ್ಲದೇ, ಈ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯಾಣದ ದಾರಿ ಮಧ್ಯೆ ಊಟವೂ ಸಿಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. 3/n
