Bengaluru: Congress-JD(S) alliance wins confidence motion amid walkout by BJP


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru

Bengaluru, May 25: After days of intense political developments, Karnataka on Friday May 25 finally got a government with Congress-JD(S) alliance winning the trust vote in the assembly hands down, even as the opposition BJP led by B S Yeddyurappa staged a walkout.

"The confidence motion has been put to vote and won by voice vote in favour of Kumaraswamy," speaker K R Ramesh Kumar told the legislators present in the lower house.

The over three-hour assembly session saw heated exchange of words and hilarious moments too as leaders of both the Congress-JD(S) combine and the BJP came up with allegations and counter-allegations, going all the way into history when JD(S)-BJP coalition fell apart.

The session began with the unanimous election of Congressman K R Ramesh as the speaker, after BJP's Suresh Kumar withdrew his nomination. Yeddyurappa told the house that the BJP had taken this decision in order to uphold the dignity of the speaker post.

While Kumaraswamy in his speech attacked the BJP and PM Modi, and spoke of reasons behind breaking the alliance with the BJP before, opposition leader Yeddyurappa hit back at the CM and said he regretted ever joining hands with the father-son (Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy) duo who had 'betrayed him'. He also addressed Congress legislative party leader and former CM Siddaramaiah and said that JD(S) had 'humiliated' him by fielding G T Devegowda against him in Chamundeshwari. He also told Congress leader D K Shivakumar that some day soon, he would 'regret' forming alliance with the JD(S).

Slamming Kumaraswamy on the issue of waiving farmers' loans over which contradictory statements have appeared in the media in the past two days, Yeddyurappa announced that if the farmers' loans were not waived soon after the government came to power, the BJP would hold Karnataka bandh on Monday May 28.

Announcing the Karnataka bandh, Yeddyurappa along with other BJP leaders dramatically walked out of the assembly.

"All our 104 MLAs walked out of the Assembly after opposition leader B S Yeddyurappa addressed the House to protest against the unholy alliance of the JD-S and Congress," a BJP party leader said.

Thereafter, Kumaraswamy replying to Yeddyurappa's address said that the former BJP CM had no moral right to speak about Siddaramaiah. He also insisted that he was not after power and that he would respond to the people's problems and provide a stable government.

Thereafter, the confidence motion was moved through voice vote, which the JD(S)-Congress alliance won hands down.

    Prime Minister Modi and his party recently had 'fasting' for parliament disruption. Now in Karnataka first day of the session BJP set new proceeding of 'Walk out' with 'Bandh' threat.

    I think PM Modi should soon consider 'fasting' till Lok Sabha elections, so that Karnataka assembly of JD(S)-Congress run smoothly.

    BJP is really frustrated and not only Yeddi also Modi, Amith too getting now nightmare. They see someone is chasing them and they fell in the pothole. Now these BJP uncultured members must realize some of the facts.
    1. Do not use Hindu in your political speeches.
    2. Even if you say Hindu still there are many sub-groups in Hinduism. This may lead to hatred between Hindu groups.
    3. Never use Religious slogans in politics because every Political Party has every religious people. It is better to act that we are Indians.
    4. Keep your Temple or Holy places visit as private and confidential, because of relationship with God and the person should be secret & Holy.
    5. Any persons who spread hatred speeches in you Party please send him for counseling or show him to a good psychiatric. Avoid such members to participate in your leadership team.
    6. Either you are in power or not think only benefits of Citizens and work for that. Strikes, walkout, threatening, and horse trading is not a solution.

    Dear BJP members we are all belongs to one nation our Mother Land is India. Please do not bring your Religion into Mother Land because of Mother Land is combined with all types of trees, plants, Lakes, rivers, colors, shapes, mountains, landscapes, seasons, and all are blessed by her. Lets us built India Great by our good attitude, intention, Love, and Peace.
    Thank you all.

    BEFORE THE FLOOR TEST : BJP DISAPPEARED WITHOUT FACING THE COUNT.Lo
    TODAY AGAIN : BJP WALKED AWAY BEFORE THE FLOOR TEST WAS BEING CONDUCTED.
    What does this suggest? They are going to make life miserable for the people of Karnataka and the coalition Government. Every JDS and Congress legislator must be careful; never fall prey to false propaganda by BJP. They tried to do this during UPA's second stint. Here, the Government must function as well as it did during Siddaramaiah's tenure and keep these miscreants out so that they are exposed of their bad deeds.

    Yeddi, your chaddi has forgotten that due to sky rocketing petrol/diesel price farmers are going to suffer. Protest if Congress/JDS don't fulfill what they promised. You don't have any right to demand them to do what you promised. You lost and with that what you promised too. You better wait for 5 years to begin to deliver what your promised.

    Where are those preachers now who used to comment here whenever Congress loses saying "Congress must accept defeat gracefully ?" Why not preach to the BJP and Yeddy now to accept defeat gracefully ? Hypocrisy and being two faced get exposed sooner or later.

    Yeddy is a sore loser. Now their goonda MLAs will go around threatening people to support their bandh calls. Dentist and Businessman will try and make sure the bandh is successful in Mangalore based on orders from their supremely corrupt leader, Yeddy!!!!

    Having failed in all unconstitutional ways to win the vote of confidence the BJP should show some political maturity and allow the JDS/Congress combine to function as they have not only won the Trust Vote but the combine has 56 % of the popular vote of the people of Karnataka.

    High time Yeddyurappa seeks voluntary retirement becoz at 75 he can only be a figure head.
