A recent report by Oxfam India showed the rich accumulating a greater share of wealth in recent years, while economists like Jean Dreze have found the rest to have seen no growth in their real wages (adjusting for inflation); and the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy has been constantly reporting increased levels of unemployment. The rich are still able to afford to vote based on issues of identity whipped up by the BJP, while the poor – forced to choose between issues of identity and welfare – are choosing the latter. This is why the ire of the rich has turned towards welfare politics.

"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us,” confirms JD(s) party senior official

After the majority of exit polls predicted a hung assembly in Karnataka, HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular on Thursday stated that they have started feeling signs of need from the Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party. Even though Mr Kumaraswamy is in Singapore, the senior official of the party had cleared that the decision has been taken for whom we should partner.

senior JD(S) leader Tanveer Ahmed during an exclusive interview with a leading news channel said, "The decision is done. It's taken. We will announce it to the public when it is the right time to."

On the other front, the Bhartiya Janta Party has cleared that it has not reached JD(S) and continued to exude confidence about a clear mandate.

BJP's Shobha Karandlaje was also a part of the interview during which she said, "no question of coalition at all, the BJP has not contacted the JD(S)".

"We are sure to get 120 seats. After gathering information on ground from our karyakartas yesterday, we have arrived at a number -- 120," she added.

When questioned about BJP denying the fact, JD(S) stated that the party has indeed reached out for forming a joint government.

"Yes, both (BJP and the Congress) have tried reaching out to us... The JD(S) is in such a position today that parties would like to reach out to us," said Tanveer Ahmed.

"The people of Karnataka wants us to keep check on both national parties for the betterment of the state. And I don't think there's any reason why a regional party wouldn't want to work for the development of Karnataka," he added.

when asked about their choice of party to partner with, Tanveer said, "The people who are going to work for the betterment of Karnataka and Kannadigas".

Answering a question about the number of seats the party has won, Tanveer said, "Nobody can form a government without us. That's a good number, I think. We could not match the resources of the national parties in terms of money, might, muscle. We were a weak party. But we know we performed enough to be a part of the government".

The JD(S) chief is in Singapore undergoing treatment for his bad health. he took the reign of the party after party patriarch HD Deve Gowda.

Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 : जगदीश शेट्टार BJP छोड़ कांग्रेस में हुए शामिल

नई दिल्ली। Karnataka Assembly Election 2023 : कर्नाटक विधानसभा चुनाव के लिए विभिन्न पार्टियों ने उम्मीदवारों की सूची जारी करते ही प्रदेश की राजनीति चरम पर है। बता दें कि इस बीच टिकट न मिलने से भाजपा के कई नेता पार्टी से नाराज चल रहे हैं। इनमें से 8 बड़े नेताओं ने तो पार्टी भी छोड़ दी है। वही टिकट न मिलने के कारण भाजपा के कई नेताओं ने कांग्रेस या जेडीएस का दामन थाम लिया है। इन नेताओं ��ें भाजपा की…

कर्नाटक चुनाव में भाजपा को कांग्रेस से कड़ी चुनौती

आगामी कर्नाटक चुनाव में भाजपा को कांग्रेस से कड़ी चुनौती का सामना करना पड़ रहा है, लेकिन वह प्रतिद्वंद्वियों से पार्टी में हाल ही में प्रवेश करने वालों पर भरोसा करके अपने लिए समर्थन हासिल करने की भी कोशिश कर रही है।

जबकि चुनाव के मेटा नैरेटिव प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी की अपील, बसवराज बोम्मई सरकार के रिकॉर्ड और महत्वपूर्ण लिंगायत वोटों को लुभाने के इर्द-गिर्द घूमते हैं, कुछ माइक्रो नैरेटिव उन नेताओं के इर्द-गिर्द घूमते हैं जो हाल तक पार्टी के लिए बाहरी थे।

कर्नाटक में ओल्ड मैसूर क्षेत्र को राज्य में वोक्कालिगा बेल्ट माना जाता है, जहां पारंपरिक रूप से मुकाबला कांग्रेस और जनता दल (एस) के बीच रहा है। दिवंगत फिल्म स्टार और कांग्रेस सांसद अंबरीश की पत्नी निर्दलीय सांसद सुमलता अंबरीश को 2019 के चुनाव में भाजपा से समर्थन मिला था, और वह विजयी रही थीं।

सुश्री अंबरीश वोक्कालिगा समुदाय से हैं और लोकप्रिय हैं। भाजपा की इच्छा थी कि विधानसभा चुनाव से पहले वह पार्टी में शामिल हो जाएं। ऐसा नहीं हुआ, लेकिन सुश्री अंबरीश ने कहा कि वह क्षेत्र में भाजपा के प्रयासों का समर्थन करेंगी। वरिष्ठ सूत्रों के मुताबिक, बीजेपी को ��म्मीद है कि उनके समर्थन का इलाके की कम से कम तीन या चार सीटों पर असर हो सकता है।

2018 के विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा

बेंगलुरु में 28 सीटें हैं और 2018 के विधानसभा चुनाव में भाजपा ने 12 सीटें जीती थीं। 2019 में, बड़े पैमाने पर दलबदल (17 विधायक) कांग्रेस और जद (एस) के रैंकों से भाजपा में हुए। जबकि विधायक अयोग्य घोषित किए गए थे, उनमें से अधिकांश ने भाजपा के टिकट पर चुनाव लड़ा और अपनी सीटें जीतने में सफल रहे। अकेले बेंगलुरु में, कांग्रेस के चार विधायक और जद (एस) का एक विधायक भाजपा में शामिल हो गए, उन्होंने अपनी सीटें जीत लीं और भाजपा को 28 में से 16 सीटों पर ले गए। विधायक एसटी सोमशेखर, बैरथी बसवराज, मुनिरत्ना, के. गोपालैया और एमटीबी नागराज (जो उपचुनाव हार गए लेकिन एमएलसी बनाए गए) अभी भी भाजपा के साथ हैं और पार्टी को उम्मीद है कि वे शहर में अपनी पकड़ बनाए रखने में मदद करेंगे। एक सूत्र ने कहा, 'बेंगलुरु सीटों का एक बड़ा हिस्सा है और अगर हम अपनी पकड़ बनाए रखने में कामयाब होते हैं, तो यह निश्चित रूप से मदद करता है।'

बेलागवी प्रतियोगिता

बेलागवी जिला महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि इसमें 18 विधानसभा सीटें हैं और लिंगायतों की महत्वपूर्ण उपस्थिति है। यहां की लड़ाई को जो दिलचस्प बनाता है वह यह है कि यहां लिंगायत समुदाय से समर्थन प्राप्त करने वाली भाजपा अनुसूचित जनजाति के वाल्मीकि नायक समुदाय के एक पूर्व कांग्रेसी रमेश जरकिहोली को प्रोजेक्ट कर रही है। वह लिंगायत समुदाय के बीच बिल्कुल लोकप्रिय नहीं हैं। हालांकि इलाके में उनका काफी दबदबा है, लेकिन बीजेपी के स्थानीय नेताओं ने उनके खिलाफ पार्टी आलाकमान से शिकायत की है।

लिंगायत समुदाय से संबंधित विधायक लक्ष्मी हेब्बलकर के साथ श्री जारकीहोली के लंबे समय से चल रहे झगड़े ने भाजपा की स्थानीय इकाई के साथ उनके मामले में मदद नहीं की है। शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान, कर्नाटक में चुनाव के लिए भाजपा प्रभारी, ने पार्टी नेताओं को धैर्यपूर्वक सुना, लेकिन, महत्वपूर्ण रूप से, श्री जरकीहोली पर लगाम लगाने के लिए कोई कार्रवाई नहीं की। स्पष्ट रूप से, पार्टी को उम्मीद है कि भाजपा में पुराने नेता अनुशासन से चिपके रहेंगे और श्री जरकीहोली बेलगावी में पार्टी की किस्मत को बचा सकते.....

Exploring BJP’s Karnataka List: Changes, Surprises, and Strategies

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) recently unveiled its list of candidates for the upcoming elections in Karnataka, stirring discussions and raising eyebrows with its strategic choices. Let’s delve into the key takeaways from this announcement.

1. Anantkumar Hegde’s Omission: A Shift in Strategy

Anantkumar Hegde, a prominent figure known for his controversial statements and staunch Hindutva stance, finds himself absent from the BJP’s list this time. Hegde, a five-time MP from Uttara Kannada, has long been associated with the party’s Hindutva narrative. However, his recent remarks, including suggestions of changing the Constitution, seem to have led to his exclusion. In his place stands former Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kaggeri, signaling a potential shift in the party’s strategy.

2. Jagadish Shettar’s Comeback: A Political Maneuver

Former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar’s return to the BJP fold marks a significant political maneuver. Shettar, who left the party in 2023, has been granted a ticket from Belgaum, replacing Mangala Angadi. This move not only underscores the party’s efforts to reconcile with former allies but also highlights its reliance on experienced leaders to navigate challenging electoral battles.

3. K Sudhakar’s Selection: Balancing Interests

The selection of former minister K Sudhakar for the Chikkaballapur seat exemplifies the delicate balancing act within the BJP. Despite internal reservations, Sudhakar’s candidacy reflects the party’s need to appease various factions while also considering factors like financial resources and political alliances. His candidacy, supported by influential figures within the party and allied groups, underscores the intricate dynamics at play in candidate selection.

4. Strategic Vacancies and Alliances: Calculated Moves

The BJP’s decision to leave certain constituencies vacant for its ally, the Janata Dal (Secular), speaks volumes about its strategic calculations. By maintaining alliances and strategic vacancies, the party aims to consolidate its position while also respecting existing political dynamics within the state.

Conclusion

The unveiling of BJP’s Karnataka candidate list unveils a tapestry of strategic decisions, alliances, and recalibrations. From the exclusion of Hindutva stalwarts to the revival of former allies, each selection carries implications for the party’s electoral prospects and broader political landscape. As the elections draw near, these choices will shape the narrative and determine the BJP’s trajectory in Karnataka’s political arena.

Pre-poll surveys, exit polls, and analyses of election results emerging from Karnataka have all made it apparent that the highest preference for the right-leaning BJP – which, at least symbolically, frowns upon freebies – was shown by the wealthiest and most educated segment. Preference for the left-leaning Congress and JD(S) – which campaigned on the plank of welfare schemes – increase as we proceed to the poorer and less educated segments. Three of the four districts in Karnataka where the BJP managed to win a majority of the Assembly seats are Bengaluru Urban (16/28), Dakshina Kannada (6/8), and Udupi (5/5), districts that constantly top the Human Development Index and per-capita income rankings in the state, statistics that indicate a higher concentration of the rich. Everywhere else, the Congress and the JD-S won a majority of the seats. This dissonance in the voting pattern can be attributed, at least in part, to the increasing inequality between the rich and the rest, in Karnataka and across India.

Raipur News

Latest Raipur news on September 03, 2023.

Calling tribals vanvasi is an insult, according to Rahul in poll-bound Chhattisgarh.

Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi slammed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the BJP on Saturday, stating that referring to tribals as 'vanvasi' is an insult to them.

"The true meaning of tribal is the original inhabitants of this country, those who originally owned and have first rights to the land, water, and forests of the country." "However, the Bharatiya Janata Party has coined a new term for tribals - 'vanvasi,' which implies that tribals should be restricted to the jungles only," Rahul Gandhi said while addressing a meeting of party members in Raipur, the capital of poll-bound Chhattisgarh.

However, this is not the first time Rahul Gandhi has expressed interest in the 'Vanvasi and Adivasi' issue. He has been addressing the issue since the RSS referred to tribal communities as 'Vanvasi' rather than 'Adivasi' in 2022. When Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra arrived in Madhya Pradesh in November, he chastised the BJP and RSS for using the name 'Vanvasi' for tribals and demanded an apology from them. During last year's state elections in Karnataka and Gujarat, he also emphasized the subject.

Speaking at a government event in Chhattisgarh on Saturday, where assembly elections are set to take place later this year with Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Telangana, Rahul Gandhi said it was the Congress government that implemented PESA.

"The BJP wants tribals to stay in the jungles, but we say you should have the right to 'jal-jungle-zameen' (water-forest-land) as well as the freedom to pursue your dreams." This is the basic difference between the BJP and the Congress, according to Rahul Gandhi.

"Before every election, BJP leaders come out with the number of seats they will win," he said, "but the people of Karnataka have shown that they have the right list only and voted for the Congress." He asserted that the Karnataka results would be replicated in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, where assembly elections are scheduled for November this year.

He cited a recent news story on Adani in which he stated that because of Adani's tight relationship with the Prime Minister, he (Adani) has sent thousands of crores of rupees to other countries and obtained greater stock market values. "This money isn't entirely Adani's. It belonged to someone else, but PM Modi refused to launch an investigation. Adani is currently acquiring infrastructure, airports, and possibly even trains. Is everything handed to only one person?" According to Rahul Gandhi.

According to the Congress politician, Chhattisgarh is the heart of India, and young people should commit to making it the country's logistical center by constructing the necessary infrastructure so that things are processed and made here and then shipped to other states and nations.

Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led Centre of working for the welfare of the country's 2-3 billionaires on Saturday, saying states run by his party will have a government of the poor, not Adani's. Gandhi told a Rajiv Yuva Mitan Club convention in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh, that the country cannot advance with hatred and violence. It will continue to march forward by bringing everyone together in love, he said.
