Even while the state government tightens the safety measures in an effort to prevent the third wave of Covid-19 infection – there has been uptick in new cases in several districts, especially Dakshina Kannada in the past few weeks – BJP State Unit has decided to regulate public demonstrations as part of its outreach program.
The Janashirvada program was addressed to parliamentarians who have recently been appointed to the minister’s union council to the people.
Party officials led by four new Union ministers from Karnataka, will cross 24 districts in four divisions and will hold public meetings from 16 to 19 August.
Incidentally, weekend courts imposed by the state government in eight districts as prevention of prevention of Covid, is effective until August 16.
BJP’s office carrier said the newly appointed ministers – Bhagawanth Khuba, Shobha Karandlaje, Rajeev Chandrashekhar and Narayanaswamy – will lead four teams that will hold a demonstration in Kalyana-Karnataka, the coast of Karnataka and Mumbai-Karnataka besides Bengaluru.
The plan is to cover two districts every day.
Captain Ganesh Karnik, spokesman for BJP State, said this program was a national initiative and not just the BJP Karnataka unit decision.
He justified a demonstration like that in the midst of such a situation, said opposition parties did not allow Lok Sabha and Sabha – both a democratically elected home – to do business.
“Even though there are big problems that require democratic deliberation and detailed discussions, the opposition has set a poor precedent in parliament by not allowing the introduction of new ministers,” Karnik said.
“This demonstration will be held to protest the anti-democratic policy of congresses and other opposition parties and aims to introduce new ministers to the nation.” Eranna Kadadi, Rajya Sabha MP, told TOI disorders by opposition made it difficult for the government to deliver the Propellawan policy recently.
“Therefore, it is necessary for parties to reach the general public and cadres as well,” he said.
“The new ministers are grassroots workers from parties and their elevations are a big example.” On the question of the time of the event, Kadadi said guarding the pandemic in the mind, the party could hold a small public meeting because it was against the Mega demonstration which was originally planned.
However, Ashok Chandaragi, a political analyst from Kalyana-Karnataka, said this event was bad.
“As a responsible party, the organization should not hold public meetings at least until December,” Chandaragi said.
“Fear of the third wave still looks great, and the state government itself has imposed sidewalks in various districts.”
