BJP top brass in a quandary as Karnataka ex-CM Yediyurappa plans state tour

The BJP high-command in a spot as former CM Yediyurappa set to go on image-building tour

Former Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa's travel plans across Karnataka have put the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) top leadership in a spot of bother. After being removed from the Chief Minister's post, Yediyurappa is looking to salvage his image by undertaking a state tour. 

The BJP leadership fears that this move by the former CM might result in the creation of a parallel leadership and could hurt the position of the current Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai. The national party leadership would any day want to ward off any leadership issues locally and without its intervention.

As prompted by the Karnataka tour plan charted out by Yediyurappa, BJP national general secretary in charge of Karnataka, Arun Singh, has booked his ticket for a Karnataka visit. The move is spurred by the party top brass's decision to consult with the different party camps in the state unit. The prime aim of the visit could be to talk to Yediyurappa and convince him to drop his tour program.

BJP fears tour plan could create confusion among cadre, voters

Though Arun Singh has stated that if Yediyurappa wants to tour the state, it will only benefit the party, the party fears that the former Chief Minister's plan could create confusion among the party cadre and voters. This move comes when BJP wants to go to the elections with Bommai as its face.

In the meantime, Yediyurappa, who came back to the state after a short break from active public life, has already sent feelers to the party that he would return to the center stage of politics. 

After returning from a Maldives jaunt, he wasted no time meeting and consulting with Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister KS Eshwarappa. This meeting also triggered many rumors as it was Eshwarappa, who, as a minister, revolted first against Yediyurappa. It needs to be believed that the hostility between the two might have been patched up for the time being. The meeting on fresh strategies could be the start of something new.

A ToI report said that Yediyurappa's son and BJP state vice-president B Y Vijayendra would play a significant role in the proposed tour of the state. It may be recalled that Vijayendra was denied a ministerial berth so that this tour could be the start of a larger political strategy. The plan could be that Vijayendra is eyeing a significant role before the next elections arrive.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
