Bengaluru: BJP decides to use Honnavar murder as poll issue


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Dec 11: BJP has decided to use murder of Paresh Mesta at Honnavar and death of 18 other BJP and Hindu activists in the state to show the state government in poor light by telling the people that the state government is going soft on fundamentalist organizations. As part of this decision, a procession of BJP legislators will be taken out from Gandhi Statue at Vidhan Soudha to Raj Bhavan on December 12, where the processionists will meet the governor and plead with him to direct the government to hand over investigation into all these cases to National Investigation Agency, and to recommend to the centre to take over these cases.

This decision was taken at the core committee meeting of the party that was held under the leadership of BJP state in-charge, Muraleedhar Rao, at the BJP office at Malleshwaram here on Sunday December 10. BJP state general secretary and MLA, Aravind Limbavali, gave details of the decisions taken at the meeting, to media persons.

"Paresh Mesta was killed in barbaric manner. Boiling oil was poured on his face to distort it. The tattoo reading 'Jai Shreeram' written on his hand was deformed by chopping off that portion of the skin. He was tortured inhumanly before he was murdered. Although Paresh was murdered on December 6, this fact had been kept hidden from public knowledge because of the fact that chief minister, Siddaramaiah, was to visit the district on December 7. Because of soft corner the government has towards fundamentalist organizations, the meeting came to the conclusion that the government had tried to keep the information under wraps," Limbavali said. He informed that Jagadish Shettar and K S Eshwarappa, who head the legislators in assembly and council respectively, will lead the protest.

The meeting also decided to raise the topic of murders of Hindu activists in Karnataka, and condemning the state's failure to handle these cases affectively, at the parliamentary session beginning on December 15. For this purpose, a delegation of MPs and ministers from the state will meet the union home minister to hand over a memorandum placing on record these demands. Discussions were also held about the role of minister, Vinay Kulkarni, in the murder of Dharwad zilla panchayat member,Yogeesh Gowda, and new information coming to light relating to the death of deputy superintendent of police, M K Ganapati. He said that the meeting also was of the view that demand for handing over the case relating to murder of Yogeesh Gowda to Central Bureau of Investigation should be pursued and the party should keep up its attack against two state ministers.

    With only 4 months to go for the elections, the BJP seems to have decided to abandon the vikas plank and go back to full-throated Hindutva and minority baiting. An Opportunistic March by BJP which failed in miserably in all fronts of its 'Good governance' has gone back to its trade mark of 'communal violence'.
    For every crucial election it has became trend of 'communal violence' followed leaders march to deliver hate speeches their by pouring fuel to the fire.
    In Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh PM Modi a star campaigner of the parties has even evoked the dead souls of 'Kabristan-Shmashana' and even dragged Pakistan to hide his failure.
    RBI has yet give final figures of old currencies, banks are about stake claim on savings of Indian citizens, Job market is hopeless, business are fed up with GST implementation, Skill India has became 'lynching India'. capitalist credit is mounting and small industrialist are closing.
    It was Godhra in 2002, Muzaffarnagar in 2014 and Honavar is going to another Godhara of Karnataka for the next assembly elections.
    I was repeatedly warning Kannadigas about the BJP's communal politics and now party leaders openly acknowledged the fact.
    My sincere appeal to all Kannadigas to be vigilant in the coming month as state heading for assembly elections. There will desperate attempt to communalise atmosphere which started in the name of 'Dharma Sansad' and 'Hindu Samajotsava'.
    Don't let our Karnataka became another 'Godhra' or 'Muzzafarnagar' of India.
    We Kannadigas need investment, jobs, infrastructure, education, women security, quality health care, shelter, food for every stomach, peace and prosperity.
    STRICTLY NO TO COMMUNAL POLITICS!
    Jai Karnataka
    Jai Hind

    Kya karein, they don’t have any core issues against sidda. They are desperate to get some or the other issues before the elections. So far they were wasting time with tippu jayanthi kind of silly matters. If nothing is worked out then they will bring out mandir- masjid issues. poor bjp.

    Now Vikas has died its natural death, I was watching BJP campaign in Gujrath they dont have vikas model now, they talk only on Congress failures, and same they want to don in Karnataka but in Karnataka they don't have any issues to show siddu's failure hence last asthra is the communal card. I remember last year Dk MP wants to put the district on fire accusing murder to BJP yuvamorcha guy, but later it was found that the murderer was none other than his own sister, so giuys wait and see who knows BJP has no issues may be they only murdered this poor guy to garner sympathy votes. Few months back ex Bajrangdal leader Mahedra Kumar was referring to a incident in shivamoga and he was clearly stating BJP wants only votes and they want to celebrate such deaths to garner their vote banks.

    That may be true. But no one believe BJP will kill its cadres to garner votes. The villain in this drama is none other than siddaramayya who blatantly support Tipu jayantis and blocking Hanuman Jayntis. If he is a sane administrator these things would not have happened. Cannot believe Hindus in Karnataka has to bear the brunt of siddaramayyas minoirty appeasement policies . So far 16 Hindu youths are killed by the so called Popular front and siddu has released all criminals from jail

    True ...ISIS hoisted Pak flag near Hubli .... ISIS placed beef in nagabana in Bhatkal .... smash the culprits without mercy, who try to damage social peace ....

    In 1990 's , BD goons of Bhatkal were roaring .... Once they got the taste of Police firing, they never raised their head again ... Now Bhatkal is peaceful since 25 years .... If the Police adopt this attitude, The goons will be under control within 15 minutes .... ONLY WILL POWER IS REQUIRED ..
