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.

.@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

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

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

.@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

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

Anti-conversion bill is the brainchild of @RSSorg.

RSS followers had written a petition in 2009 to the law commission to draft anti-conversion bill when @BSYBJP was CM.

Our govt had rejected that draft bill. Now @BJP4Karnataka has given life to it.

#AntiConversionBill The then Social Welfare minister H Anjaneya had written a note on the draft, which was forwarded by the law commission, that it is not needed to discuss in the cabinet.

It was never discussed during @INCKarnataka govt.

#AntiConversionBill

I never expected such loose comments from you, Mr @BSBommai, that too as @CMofKarnataka.

In a desperate attempt to please your @RSSorg masters, you're deviating from facts & logic.

Let me clear your baseless allegations again!!

https://twitter.com/BSBommai/status/1448344281064738816

.@BJP4Karnataka had alleged that 24 Hindus were killed in communal violences during 2013-18. It is not 24 but actually 45 if we include both Hindus & Muslims.

Our party had released facts about those deaths. Read it and introspect your commitment to social harmony.

Mr. @BSBommai,

You have accepted your incapability to maintain law & order by justifying moral policing by few anti-social elements.

Please resign & save Karnataka!!

#MoralPolicing Innocent Women are being targeted in the name of Moral policing. The government is trying to protect anti-social elements instead of putting them behind bars.

Appeasing RSS may be necessary to save your position, but you should not stoop to this low, Mr @BSBommai

#MoralPolicing

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

.@narendramodi is betraying Kannadigas by not allowing candidates to take IBPS exams in Kannada. Latest notification by IBPS is an example for @BJP4India's anti-Kannada stand.

Central govt should immediately address this & ensure justice to Kannadigas.

#IBPSMosa IBPS had called for applications to fill more than 3000 vacant clerk positions in about 11 nationalised banks. Out of these, 407 posts are in Karnataka.

Injustice to Kannada will result in huge unemployment by leaving out Kannadigas in the competition.

#IBPSMosa

.@FinMinIndia @nsitharaman is repeating her strategy to manipulate public opinion by placing false narratives.

Her reasoning for not providing special grants of ₹5,495 Cr to Karnataka is totally unjustifiable.

This is an attempt to hide her mistakes.

#BJPExposed 15th finance commission had recommended ₹5,495 Cr to Ktaka as 'Special grants' to makeup the shortfall between untied transfers received in the form of tax devolution + revenue deficit grant in 2020-21 vs19-20.

@nsitharaman, being elected from Ktaka, rejected this.

#BJPExposed

A new Game is On in the country.

People of West Bengal have shown @BJP4India its place for their immoral political strategies. BJP has faced humiliation in West Bengal inspite of using money, muscle & power.

#ElectionResults .@BJP4India ignored all expert warnings related to #Covid19 & went ahead by pressurising ECI to conduct elections in West Bengal.

It is their selfish motive that led to the rise in #Covid19 cases.

#ElectionResults

Mr. @PMOIndia @narendramodi,

Virus will not vanish if you repeatedly appear on television without any purpose,

And also you are not an headmaster to teach lessons to CMs,

First show your responsibility by fulfilling the requests placed by State govts.

PMwithCMs #Covid19 patients are dying without oxygen everyday in all the States.

When States request @narendramodi to supply oxygen, he asks States to take strict action against hoarders.

Why did he have to increase exports of oxygen when there is shortage in our country?

.@PMOIndia @narendramodi's speech was totally disappointing.

States are devastated due to #Covid19. They need support from the Centre and not empty advices.

#PMSpeaks #Covid patients are dying due to lack of oxygen, ICU beds, life saving drugs & other Covid essentials.

@narendramodi is only giving advices to people without providing solutions to the problem.

Mr. @narendramodi,
Please do your duties first

#PMSpeaks

.@JCMBJP has perfectly echoed what @INCKarnataka had been saying since last 7 yrs. We are also of the same opinion that @BJP4India is threatening the federal structure of our Country.

Centre is encroaching upon the Constitutional rights of States.

1/6
prajavani.net/karnataka-news… .@BJP4India is forcefully directing States to amend laws that falls under State list & concurrent list. This is infringement upon the States' interest & rights.

This is more concerning in the States with @BJP4India govt as evident in Karnataka.

The police dept & @BJP4Karnataka govt are responsible for pledging the pride of Karnataka in front of the whole country in the CD case.

It is shameful that police could not trace the CD victim even after 20 days.

1/5
#RameshJarkiholiCDCase The CD case is turing into a political blame game with new developments each day. It can reach logical conclusion only when the victim reaches out to police & give her version.

According to @DHFWKA, number of #Covid19 deaths till Dec 2020 is 12,090.

According to Planning & Statistical dept, it is 22,320 till Dec 2020.

@CMofKarnataka, @mla_sudhakar,
Which of the above data is true?

1/4
#coronavirus .@BJP4Karnataka's inefficiency, corruption & lies are the reasons for the rise in #Covid19 cases in Karnataka.

People of Karnataka are facing the crisis due to mistakes of the shameless @BJP4Karnataka government.

#WeOpposeRCEP ಇದೇ ನವೆಂಬರ್ 4ರಂದು ಅಂತಿಮ ಸಹಿ ಬೀಳುವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಇದ್ದು, ಒಪ್ಪಂದವಾದರೆ ಈ ಗುಂಪಿನ 16 ದೇಶಗಳು ಶೇಕಡಾ 80ರಿಂದ 90ರಷ್ಟು ಸರಕುಗಳನ್ನು ಯಾವುದೇ ಆಮದು ಸುಂಕ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ/ಕಡಿಮೆ ಆಮದು ಸುಂಕ ತೆತ್ತು ಆಮದು ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬಹುದು. ಈ ಒಪ್ಪಂದ ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹುತೇಕ ಕೃಷಿ ಸರಕುಗಳ ಮೇಲಿನ ಆಮದು ಸುಂಕವನ್ನು ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಶೂನ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ತರುತ್ತದೆ.

There is an ongoing discussion about Free Trade Agreement under RCEP for a long time but now it has gained a lot of traction. Almost 27 meetings have happened which will culminate on November 4, 2019. 16 countries, including ASEAN countries are part of this.

#WeOpposeRCEP FTA, which the govt is about to sign, will cause long standing negative impact on domestic Agri, Animal husbandry & pharma sectors. India has a large consumption market due to its population, production & innovation, which other countries want to take advantage.
