The corrupt legacy of Bharatiya Janata Party Government in Karnataka, marked with arrogance of power, blind eye to rising crime graph in state & religious intolerance shows that the party with a difference has taken people's mandate for granted. [01-05-2023]
Prime minister Narendra Modi's storming to power in May 2014 lok sabha polls with a strong vision to wipe out corruption by previous Congress regime has finally come a cropper. Now just a year away from May 2024 lok sabha polls, he has failed miserably on governance front when it comes to corruption. And it is his own bunch of ministers who have failed him. Though this blog here highlights the failure of Prime minister's own ruling party in a state, this is just a tip of ice berg of the massive rout BJP May face in upcoming state polls.
Looks like the way things are progressing in Karnataka, Mr. Bommai and his team have become synonymous with corruption. The BJP state government in Karnataka has earned itself the title of '40% commission govt', and this is certainly not my wordings. This was conveyed by Karnataka's contractors association chief D Kempanna. The latter was arrested, just because of corruption by state govt minister was highlighted. Not only this, just look at the judicial system, which without giving an hearing to Mr. Kempanna ordered his arrest including his office bearers. This is the state of emergency that things are in Karnataka. This is infact not only in Karnataka, but in all states where whichever party in power, has used law agencies to prosecute people who raise their voices against corrupt practices.
Vayyalikaval Police have arrested D Kempanna, the President of the Karnataka state unit of the Contractors' Association, who has recently le
The aforementioned details given by Hindustan times, gives you a picture of Arrogance of Power.
As per recent news reports, reported from coastal Karnataka, a youth was particularly arrested by cops, the reason will leave you shocked, his only fault being he spoke ill of politicians, against their corrupt practices. Hence, this sums up, PM Modi's 'Sabka saath Sabka Vikas' blatant violation of human rights by cops, who arrest a person for raising his voice against corruption, but will turn a blind eye to politicians, party workers who flex their muscles, think they are a law unto themselves and indulge in all kinds of illegal activities with blessings of their political masters.
Now coming to the point, corruption by ministers in India is nothing new, it is a known fact. This particular blog is my frustration in case of a mother and toddler who died after a pillar collapsed on them in Bangalore.
Suryanarayan Murthy, the vice president of the BMRCL Employees Union, in a letter dated February 6, demanded a quality check of all pillars
The aforementioned report by Hindustan times dated, 9th Of February 2023, mentions how Mr. Suryanarayan Murthy vice - president BMRCL employees union (Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation) had written to CM Bommai, about widespread corruption and lethargic attitude of Managing Director of BMRCL.
Also, Nagarjuna Construction Company, tasked with construction at that site, is a company known, for FRAUDULENT acts, illegal practices and bribe officials to any extent to bag a contract. Infact, Telangana Government under chief minister K. Chandrashekhara Rao had even contemplated blacklisting NCC. So a company that had committed fraudulent practices in other states, which was well known, then why the he'll in the first place did the Karnataka Government give them the contract? Is the big question. The answer is also known. The current ruling dispensation in Karnataka, has famously earned itself a tag named as, 40 % commission Government. This has been highlighted in this very blog, of report by Hindustan times. The Karnataka contractors association had raised this issue, for which he was arrested by the Great Karnataka police. Corruption is so common and so much widespread in Karnataka government before under Congress regime and now under BJP that, Vidhana Soudha can be best described as the 'Hall of corruption'. Now coming to the main point, certainly the mother Tejaswini and her son Vihaan who died due to pillar collapse, were just not a wife a son to Mr. Lohith Kumar Solake, she was a citizen of India, independent since 75 years, and 75 years marked with total anarchy and corruption, she was a sister to me and scores of other common honest hardworking Indians. Did she and her son deserve to die? Why should their deaths go in vain? For how long should we citizens of India tolerate this corruption and lethargic attitude of governments under various ruling parties?
Hence, Mr. Basavaraj Bommai, how much kick back did your government receive from Nagarjuna Construction Company for awarding them this contract? Please answer. Now coming to opposition Congress, who as usual, will leave no stone unturned to play politics out of a tragedy, Mr. Siddaramiah what moral right, do you have to question the Bommai government on corruption, when your own party was in power, didn't your government indulged in corrupt practices too?
Hence, do not want to drag this too long, readers of this blog either in Karnataka or other parts of states, and even readers from foreign countries will understand my frustration. Corruption is a problem the whole world is facing. Coming to Karnataka state, the assembly elections are going on, and as usual CONgress and BJP leaders are indulging in mud throwing on each other. MLA's whose terms have ended have nothing to talk, regarding what development work they did, rather than talking useless things, igniting passions in the name of religion, is best what they can do.
Hence my dear, citizens of Karnataka, if you are thinking that by changing government in Karnataka things will change, then I am sorry, I feel pity on you. Please remember things aren't going to change. Because for both BJP and Congress, winning elections and coming to power is sole objective, with no vision for development at all and it has become a business for these two parties for generations to fool voters and we are becoming fools by falling for their false promises.
Hence, the only thing to teach these corrupt politicians and their parties the best lesson is to vote for #nota I.e. none of the above option in evm. NOTA for Corrupt free India is the best option now. Let the percentage for NOTA be overall on higher side. Let politicians get the message, even those who have won, or any party come to power, you are certainly not on wish list of majority of voter. But sadly will happen? Is the question?
