'Adjustment Politics': MP Pratap Simha gets gag order as BJP workers clash


Bengaluru, Jun 26 (IANS): The 'adjustment politics' row within the BJP in Karnataka has escalated yet again with party workers clashing at a public convention in Bagalkot demanding ouster of BJP leaders who were into adjustment politics that reportedly resulted in the defeat of the party in the recent Assembly elections.

On the other hand, Union minister Pralhad Joshi said on Monday that he has spoken to Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha and advised him not to speak about contentious issues in public. 

Joshi also said that he has advised Simha to speak to the state BJP President if at all there are any issues.

Meanwhile, former minister K.S. Eshwarappa said that there is no discipline in the party. 

“Our party has caught wind of Congress. We are in such a situation for allowing Congress leaders to join the party. No one should speak about adjustment politics in public. 

"I will request the party leaders to keep their conversations within the four walls of a room. Adjustment politics never took place in Karnataka. What is lacking is discipline,” Eshwarappa said.

Reacting to Eshwarappa’s remarks, former minister B.C. Patil said that BJP came to power because of leaders from the Congress who joined the BJP.

BJP MLC N. Ravikumar said that he doesn’t know in which context Eshwarappa made those remarks. 

“We came to power only after Congress leaders joined the BJP. Many leaders who joined the BJP have won elections. We will face the Lok Sabha elections unitedly," he said.

BJP national General Secretary C.T. Ravi said that he doesn't want to blame everything on the leaders who came from Congress. 

“I don’t want to only blame those who joined BJP from the Congress. At the same time, I won’t say that all are correct. There were mistakes from our side as well,” he said.

Commenting on Eshwarappa's remarks, leader and Minister for Large and Medium Industries, M.B. Patil, said that Congress leaders who joined BJP, including K. Sudhakar, M.T.B. Nagaraj, S.T. Somashekar, B.C. Patil and others, should answer Eshwarappa. 

“There is no question of taking them back into the Congress,” he said.

    Why did the BJP lose the elections? There are many reasons behind it First of all the 40 Percent commission. Yes, BJP rule was marred by corruption allegations Many people in BJP were corrupt. It was obvious that people wanted BJP out BJP of Karnataka must learn from MODI and AMIT SHAH in center who are selfless and predevelopment, they must learn the good ways form central leadership, this was the main reason, People have elected Congress with big majority. If Congers rules Karnataka well I believe that BJP cannot come again in Karnataka. Second was the communal agenda Slogans like Jai Bhagrangbali raised in party meetings did not go well with public, We must remain secular and rule the state well I am sure the Karnataka BJP leadership is listening and mend their ways.

    BJP is done with and permanently over. People especially the majority Hindus have realized worth in BJP and it can never deliver what it promises. BJP is in a slippery downward slope permanently and never could be reversed. People don’t want to give any more chances to BJP which will only burden them with hardship, misery and hopelessness.

    Pratap Simha and his party leaders must perceive why they were defeated. I have specified reasons, how and why BJP was defeated. The Main Reasons for rejections which, Contributed to a Great Tsunami like Fall of BJP=Brhasta Jumla Paapies and a Landslide Victory for Congress in state of Karnataka are the Following: 1) Un-Employment and Restless among the Youths. 2) Rampant Corruptions from BJP MLA's. 3) Virtually Nil Developments in the State. 4) Mis-Management and Bad Governance. 5) Dividing Communities in the name of Religion/Faiths. 6) Informing Hindus not to have Businesses with Non-Hindus. 7) 40% Corruption in all Building Constructions / Tenders/ Procurements. 8) Outright Propaganda of Lies in Karnataka by the leaders and from P.M., Modi and in the media Channel's. 9) Building Gau-Shaalas. Example 100 gaushaalas. In fact physically 50 are available. Remaining money was Gulum. 10) Crowds were borrowed from other states and from within the state to throw flower petals to display great popularity. 11) BJP Leaders were hoping after Showing Chaiwala's Face people will vote. In reality, Karnataka people directly rejected Modi's face as well as fully neglected chaiwala Modi and washed the roads in cow urine and in cow dung wherever he campaigned .
