Bharatiya Janata party celebrates selection of Basavaraj Bommai as Karnataka chief minister as gangwars continue unabated on the streets of Bengaluru.

(03/08/2021)

Prime minister Narendra Modi and BJP should not celebrate Bommai's elevation to chief minister's post, they should be mourning for the pitiful state that so called world class city Bengaluru is in today. And predecessor Yeddyurappa's failure to free Bangalore from gangsters grip.

Basavaraj Bommai - New Chief Minister of Karnataka.

So finally the BJP parliamentary board on Yeddyurappa's recommendation choose Basavaraj Bommai as CM. That the chief minister's responsibility is towards all the cities within the state, but in Karnataka's case the problem of one city Bengaluru has been gigantic more than compared to cities like Hubli-Dharwad Mangaluru, Mysuru, Belgaum and others. And 61 year old mechanical engineering graduate Mr Bommai is well versed with Bengaluru's problems and who better than him, as he was the home minister before. And as rowdies go on wreaking havoc in city, my question is who is going to stop them? The hardworking family of Bengaluru and poor people who are struggling to provide the best for their families have completely lost faith in the Bengaluru police and it is they who get caught in the cross hairs of these gangsters. Can the new chief minister end the rowdies menace in Bengaluru? Can Basavaraj Bommai make a difference and show he has it in him to wipe out the rowdies from Bengaluru's every nook and corner unlike his predecessors Yeddyurappa, Kumaraswamy, Siddaramaiah, Jagadish Shettar and SM Krishna who were mere fence sitter chief minister's.

Why are the Bengaluru police hesitating to go in an aggressive mode against the gangsters? One reason here can be attributed to lack of support from the chief minister or home minister, and the political patronage provided by politicians to criminals. 6 out of every 10 MLA's in Karnataka assembly have links with notorious rowdies in their own constituencies. BJP on its part cannot wash hands off its sins here, because BJP is the party in power in Karnataka and Amit Shah holds the home portfolio here in central government. But the shame and irony within BJP remains and so does lawlessness in Bengaluru. The only good thing that Amit Shah has done in his capacity as home minister is to target opposition parties in rule in states like Kerala, West Bengal etc. He has continuously targeted West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee over law and order issues in Bengal and goondaism by Trinamool Congress leaders, true that TMC leaders have indulged in goondaism and also urged it's party workers to create terror, but Mr. Shah before pointing fingers at others, you should first clear garbage in your own backyard. Amit Shah being the home minister of central government, you are right in your concerns of lawlessness in West Bengal, but what about the lawlessness in Bengaluru in Karnataka.

Also police reforms which needs to undergo a gigantic change here in India despite the Supreme court of India clearly stating that it be done at the earliest, the Modi government seems unperturbed and casual in its approach. Police reforms are a slew of measures that need to be undertaken to break the police-criminal nexus at lower ranks and many more problems in police department. But despite the police reforms remaining unchanged, that cannot be the yardstick of excuse for police commissioners for failure to bring down crime in their respective cities. In my view the police chiefs leave Bengaluru city but in any part of the world, their foremost priority should be to bring down crime to zero, if not zero but at the level at least where people can breath easy and feel safe, they must instill fear in the minds of criminals for law enforcement agencies, and above all no political interference in working of police. All these things are completely missing in Bengaluru. Its high time Bengaluru's police stop flexing their muscles on innocent public, I wish they take on rowdies seriously. Because the rowdies of Bengaluru have gone beyond the police lathis, it has no more effect on them, the only language they understand now is the language of bullets. Also we need to understand here that the servants learn what their masters teach. Now look at how much rotten subsequent Karnataka governments have become in terms of corruption, either it is congresses Siddaramaiah who was the chief minister or Kumaraswamy's tenure as CM and BJP's Yeddyurappa, these very Chief minister's who before elections blabbered about good governance, various schemes for poor people and other promises, once they got elected showed their true colours. For instance, post covid and the brutal second wave that led to lockdown all over India, in Karnataka things have come to such a pathetic state, that police have been entrusted with imposing fines on people without masks, I have no objection in them imposing fines for those without masks, but when these very politicians and their rowdy party workers did break the covid protocol by not following rules, the same police remained mute spectators. So law in Karnataka is only for common public the minister's, rowdies are free to break law. The police machinery in Bengaluru has been turned into hafta collection force more than law enforcement force. Increasing harrasement of motorists by Bengaluru's traffic police for fines, is another indication of frustration of Karnataka government. That the biggest investors in real estate industry in Bengaluru have been the Karnataka's politicians and it is not a hidden secret. Malls, flats and commercial complexes in every nook and corner of Bengaluru city, you name it and some other minister's, MLA'S are involved in investment. Also Bengaluru being an IT hub the main buyers or customers for real estate sector are the software professionals, post lockdown many of these IT employees played safe by not buying these properties, also those who came to Bangalore from other states went back to their homes as companies started work from home policy. And new upcoming real estate projects with huge investments by politicians faced the brunt, with construction work stopped and losses to the tune of thousands of crores of rupees. Now this has resulted in more frustration for government with fresh property registrations going down in huge numbers and extremely low income from real estate market. The frustrated Karnataka government has now taken to loot the public through police, by way of targeting motorists, for false traffic violations, wearing of masks etc, whereas rowdies have a field day on the streets of Bengaluru.

Also when I am saying false traffic violation cases, people may say it as an exaggeration of comment, but this is the fraud being committed by Bengaluru traffic cops for some time now. An incidence of proof of this fraud by police, was highlighted by my own family member, whose friend who had been staying in France for close to three months on his return back to India, received a slew of messages from Bengaluru traffic police for violations relating to traffic in various areas within Bangalore, irony as it is when the concerned person was not even present in India, just look at the desparate attempt to loot the public by the police and government. This is just a tip of the ice berg in corruption within Bangalore police. So deep rooted has the rot of corruption become in Karnataka state, that not just the Police department but even BBMP, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike has officials neck deep in corruption, I will come to the blog on irregularities in BBMP later on.

Left to right: Karnataka state BJP affairs incharge Arun Singh, former Chief minister BS Yeddyurappa and newly appointed CM Basavaraj Bommai.

Also Arun Singh the incharge for BJP party affairs in Karnataka needs to urgently address the happenings in Bengaluru to Prime minister Narendra Modi, if BJP on its part is serious in removing the dent on reputation of the city, which has happened not only at national level but at international level too, then they should take steps to turn it into a world class city as claimed by Yeddyurappa which in reality is not, also focus on one objective to end rowdies menace which has spread its ugly tentacles throughout Bengaluru.

(Above news of crime in 'Times of India' edition Bengaluru section dated 29th July 2021). Complete Lawlessness: Rowdy Harish Kumar who was murdered by his rivals in broad daylight.

Prime minister Narendra Modi who on every Sunday gives his opinion to the people of India through government run 'Doordarshan' channel titled, 'maan ki baat' is far away from reality of problems that the public faces. His speech can best be described as chest thumping of his governments scheme's, though there is nothing wrong in the prime minister of a country reach out to people and air the good work done by govt and it's benefits to the people, but will the prime minister be transparent and speak out his maan ki baat about the rising crime graph in Bengaluru? His own party rules Karnataka and his own partyman former Chief minister Yeddyurappa has called Bengaluru as a world class city. So honourable prime minister, what does your inner subconscious mind tells you? Do you agree with Mr. Yeddyurappa's comments? Prime minister Modi you need to rise above politics first, and talk about increasing lawlessness in your own party ruled state. But despite my severe criticism of BJP rule in Karnataka and it's failure of law and order in Bangalore, I must admit that Narendra Modi is the best prime minister India has had till date. Uri surgical strike and Balakot airstrikes go on to prove that he stood by his words before coming to power, about befitting reply to Pakistan, also aggressive combing operations in Jammu and Kashmir to flush out Pakistani terrorist's, shows the free hand given to Indian army by Prime minister Modi. The result in the past 2 years the highest number of Jaish and Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorist's including their top commanders have been killed. So PM Narendra Modi has delivered on his promise of hammering terrorist's, the result today we see is Pakistan became wary and quiet and Kashmir largely peaceful. So his efficiency in fighting terrorism has been largely successful, but when it comes to rising crime graph within India, and especially Bengaluru the Modi government has failed miserably. Now that Bengaluru is officially India's crime capital, looking at Bharatiya Janata party and it's leaders lethargic attitude, the city will very soon become the world's no 1 crime city.

via Today Bharat Centre’s decision to delay RLIP? Is the BJP trying to convert the water disputes between the two Telugu states to its advantage? If not, why is the Union Minister for Water Resources hurriedly organising the Apex Council meet even during the Covid season? Though the meeting is being held online and it confirms to the quarantine standards of social distancing, why this tearing hurry and why are the Central Government and the BJP insisting on a meeting in such haste? The analysts strongly feel that the Central Government is doing whatever the BJP in Telangana does and that there is politics in this. The Centre is organising the Apex Council on August 25 to discuss the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme, which is meant to utilise the flood water from Krishna river. Initially, the meet was scheduled to be held on August 5, but had to be deferred in view of Telangana Chief Minister’s request. Without consulting the two states, the Centre has decided to hold the meeting on August 25 and has informed both the states in writing. Inter-state riparian disputes are not new. They have been going on for decades. The disputes have only exacerbated for the past four decades in view of the paucity of water in Krishna river. The allocations as decided by Brajesh Kumar Tribunal are yet to be implemented. In the meanwhile, the state of Andhra Pradesh was divided into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Both the states are ruled by regional parties. The national parties are not even a bleep on the political radar and there are no signs of them improving their position anytime soon. Now, it is clear that the BJP and the Central Government are determined to stall the Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme. It also reliably learnt that Union Minister has spoken to the representatives from AP. Sources also reveal that the Centre is trying to re-scrutinise and reverse the verdict of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that said that the RLIS is not a new one. The question is - Why the BJP is so obstinate and why is it so wary of the importance that the two Telugu states are according to irrigation. The two governments are according utmost importance to irrigation and is building projects like Kaleshwaram and Polavaram on Godavari and Palamur-Rangareddy, Dindi, Udayasamudram, SLBC in Telangana and Handri Neeva, Galeru-Nagari in AP on Krishna river. There would be no scarcity even if all the under-construction projects are completed. In fact, a lot of flood water is flowing waste into the sea. Last year, as much as 600 tmc have flown waste into the sea. Even assuming that there would be some shortfall in Krishna, the water can always be diverted from Godavari into Krishna. Once Polavaram is completed and the Krishna-Penna river link is established, Nagarjunasagar’s dependence on Krishna river would be greatly reduced and both the Telugu governments have to unveil a concrete plan for the optimal utilisation of the water from Srisailam. The water from Srisailam can be used for drinking and irrigational purposes instead of power generation. These projects are very important as the cultivation in most parts of Mahabubnagar, Rangareddy and Nalgonda of Telangana and Rayalaseema in Andhra Pradesh is essentially rain-fed. Provision of drinking and irrigation facility is of critical importance and completion of the above-mentioned projects on a war-footing assumes great significance. Telangana’s Krishna river-based projects stand neglected The Krishna-based projects of Telangana are progressing at snail’s pace. While the Telangana CM has created a history of sorts by completing Kaleshwaram project within three years and by bringing Godavari waters close to Hyderabad by pumping water. Thus, he has achieved what has hitherto been thought of as impossible! However, there is a strong feeling that he has not been as focused on the projects in South Telangana as he has been on North Telangana. It is important to complete the projects aimed at providing irrigation facility in South Telangana and utilise the Krishna water to the maximum. Similarly, the flood water, allotted and the unallocated water could be used to irrigate the Rayalaseema region of AP. Though some projects have been completed and yet more are under various stages of completion, AP is unable to optimally use its share of water. Pothireddypadu height affects AP’s water usage Though AP is entitled to use 114 TMC from Srisailam reservoir through Pothireddypadu, except for the last two years, the state could not use even a half of the allocated water. Rayalaseema is entitled to use a total of 114 TMC, including water from Telugu Ganga (29 TMC), SRBC (19 TMC), Galeru-Nagari-GNSS (39 TMC), Drinking water supply to Chennai (15 TMC), TBPHLC (10 TMC), drinking water and evaporation losses (3 TMC). In 2004-05, a total of 56.51 TMC could be used. In 2005-06, 78.49 TMC was used. In 2007-08, 2009-10, 48.05 TMC and 60.14 TMC respectively were used . In 2009-10, Krishna river witnessed unprecedented floods. Yet, the water utilisation was minimal. In 2012-13, only 22.40 TMC was used. In 2014-15, as much as 59.17 TMC was used. In 2015-16, a paltry 0.95 TMC, the lowest till date, used up. In the subsequent four years, .44, 91.70,115.40, 179.30 respectively were utilised. To ensure the optimal utilisation of Krishna water, the AP Government has proposed Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme. The expert committee constituted by the NGT has clarified that the Rayalaseema LIS is an old project. In fact, the project does not have any new command area to irrigate. It only enables the allocated water to flow into the SRMC. For this, a pumping centre would be constructed near the Sangameshwara and the water would be released into the SRMC. Misinformation campaign is on Unfortunately, opposition parties in AP such as the TDP, the Congress and the Left are maintaining a studious silence on the issue. They are doing this as they know that if they raise their voice, it will have to be in support of the state government. Even the yellow media is toeing the same line. So, there is no debate about the Rayalaseema LIS in AP. On its part, even the AP Government has not measured up to the expectation when it came to educating the masses about the benefits of the project. None of the leaders have tried to set the record straight. In Telangana, however, there is a growing feeling that the AP is doing injustice to Telangana through Rayalaseema LIS. BJP game-plan In Telangana, both the Congress and the BJP have been accusing the Telangana government of colluding with the AP Government on Rayalaseema LIS. The Congress has approached the Telangana High Court. The Telangana Government had approached the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, using the NGT nod for taking up tendering process, the AP Government has already completed the tendering for the project. Meanwhile, prodded by the local BJP leaders, the Central Government has stepped in. The BJP in AP also changed tack and began attacking the AP Government. In Telangana, the BJP is already on a warpath with the State Government. On every issue, the Telangana BJP is lodging a complaint and the Central Government is sending notices to the Telangana Government. There is a new-found aggression on the part of the Central Government on projects like Kaleshwaram, Rayalaseema LIS etc. There are allegations that the BJP is trying to follow the RSS dictum of One Nation even in irrigation sector and is trying to exploit the differences that exist between the governments of Telangana and AP. Even irrigation experts feel that the Centre wants to control both the states. As part of this, the Centre has asked the two state governments to stop work till they submit DPRs for Kaleshwaram IIIrd TMC, Palamuru-Rangareddy, Dindi, Udayasamudram and Rayalaseema LIS. The Centre has already directed the AP Government not to go ahead with the Rayalaseema LIS. They suspect that the BJP wants to help Telangana so that it can emerge stronger there. Analysts say that the BJP, which has little future in AP, is now focusing on Telangana and wants to pip past the Congress to challenge the TRS. It wants to show the people of Telangana that it cares more for the state than the TRS. If this kind of politicking goes on, both the Telugu states would be put to great loss. The Krishna water will flow waste into the sea and the South Telangana and Rayalaseema will remain perpetually drought-hit.
