Bengaluru: Kumaraswamy brokering formation of 'Mahagathbandhan' in south


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Nov 18: There is information that the concerned are stealthily moving to form 'Mahagathbandhan' in the south with the coming together of Congress, JD(S), TDP, Janasena of Pawan Kalyan in Telangana, and Kamal Haasan's Makkal Needi Maiam party in Tamil Nadu. Karnataka chief minister, H D Kumaraswamy, is said to be brokering to bring together all these parties to browbeat BJP's designs of gaining in strength in the south, and in all likelihood, former Prime Minister, H D Deve Gowda, would provide leadership and strategy.

Kumaraswamy has already held parleys with Kamal Haasan and Pawan Kalyan on this issue. There are chances of discussions taking place in the presence of Congress national president, Rahul, Gandhi, at New Delhi in the presence of leaders from different parties.

As per the plan, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will witness the coming together of Congress, TDP and Janasena in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, DMK - Congress - Makkal Needhi Maiam coalition in Tamil Nadu, and Congress - JD(S) combine in Karnataka. Kamal Haasan and Pawan Kalyan will undertake election tour of Karnataka seeking votes for the coalition canidates here. Discussions are also on about the possibility of getting Chiranjeevi, who is identified with Congress, and Balakrishna, who is with TDP, to undertake campaigning in Karnataka. The leaders hope to reap benefit of the association with Telugu film stars in Kolar Chikkaballapur, Bengaluru central and north constituencies, Ballari, Raichur, Bidar, Gulbarga, and Yadgiri constituencies.

Reports say that during the recent visit of Andhra Pradesh chief minister, Chandrababu Naidu to the city, these issues were discussed with Deve Gowda and Kumaraswamy. After discussions, M K Stalin of DMK and Chandrababu Naidu appear to have moved mentalluy closer to being part of the Mahagathbandhan. Reportedly, Deve Gowda is also using his skills to woo Chandrashekhar Rao of TRS into this arrangement, and he has been talking to Rao often. It is however said that some of the parties are not prepared to accept Rahul Gandhi as the next Prime Ministerial candidate.

Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have been appreciative of the recent feat of bagging two out of three Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka during the bypoll. They also are happy that the tally of Congress votes has considerably increased in Shivamogga constituency. So they have reasons to believe that if both the parties fight together, bagging 20 Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka would not be difficult.

As per talks so far, Congress will be allowed to field candidates in 18 constituencies, leaving the balance ten to JD(S). JD(S) is likely to stake claim for Hassan, Mandya, Shivamogga, Tumakuru, Chikkaballapur, Mysuru, Uttara Kannada and Bengaluru (north) constituencies in addition to some others.

    In a healthy democracy there should be a strong opposition to the Goverment. NDA and UPA are two combinations where the former is ruling at the Centre with a big majority. The efforts of HDK are praiseworthy as he is trying to cobble up a strong opposition group against BJP led NDA. Congress is strong in few states and requires the regional parties to challenge the NDA all over India The assembly elections in 5 states will be very interesting and the next Lok Sabha elections in April-May 2019 will be more interesting. Let the better combination win. Jai Hind.

    Now the process of' Mahagatbandhan' is in progress.Main objective of this 'Gatbandhan' is to unseat Modi in the coming Lok Sabha election but without any foresight.Even if they win by hook or crook,they will not form the stable government because everybody in Gatbandhan are power hungers and wants their share of apple pie.Everybody want to become prime minister,foreign and external minister,defense minister etc etc.They don't want the growth,development of the country,they want only important portfolios to loot the country and amass their assets,wealth in crores for generation to generation.At present under Modi's leadership country is heading in a proper direction and recognized globally as the fast developing country,super power and India's name is in the world map,which they can't digest.Whatever may be their strategies,finally Modi will be winner and rule the country for another two- three terms without any doubt.

    Similar ghatiyabandhan was formed in 1996 with the sole aim of keeping BJP out of power but couldn’t remain for more than 2 years. History repeats. Even now their only aim is unseat Modi. It will not succeed as long as there are power hungry, greedy leaders in the country.

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely - old age saying never goes wrong.
    Formidable opposition or change of power is absolutely necessary to prevent abuse of power.
    Matured electorate will always understand such power equation, which is good for the nation.
    To the ruling party or their bosses, while ruling, power goes into to mind.
    Country's autonomous bodies, Law enforcement agencies, RBI, Election commission, Media and Court's autonomy should never be compromised.
    Ruling government should always be reminded that, they will be answerable for all their actions and inaction.

    Congress is dying horse....Regional parties can unitedly keep Gujju combo (Feku+Daaku) out of power. Still after elections "Operation Kesarina Kamala" is possible knowing Amit Sha's penchant for low level cunning games.

    Why dont you be a good sport and accept that Cong has fallen from grace as a single party , after its President has lost 30 elections and 20 states and surviving on hanging on to regional parties. This bandhan too would be suicidal for Cong as its a step to fading into oblivion.

    Yes we should stand with Deve Gowda lest he may fall. His 4 years are still pending because Congress pulled him down in 1997 and installed Gujral. Then Congress became his worst ever enemy. Earlier he too didn’t allow late Vajpayee to remain for more than 13 days. So now at the ripe age of 86 he rightly deserves to be PM for 4 years so that his pending term will be complete and when he will also turn to a full 90.

    Best way to stay in power Devegowda should support only Rahul baba projecting him as future PM.This will help kumara to stay as CM for full term with Congress help in the stateirresoective of future general election result.Deve Gowda is clever enough to draw the plan in favour of his son .There us no necessity of ghat bandan in Karnataka.
