Bengaluru, Feb 12: The joint session of the State Legislature under new BJP opposition leader R Ashok caused some interesting scenes with all opposition BJP members arriving in the Assembly wearing saffron shawls and chanted the slogans, ‘Jai Sri Ram’ before and after the State Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s address on Monday.
BJP MLA from Rajarajeshwari Nagar constituency in the city was seen distributing saffron shawls to the members as they assembled for the deliberations.
To counter the opposition BJP members, the ruling Congress members shouted ‘Bhatatmata Ki Jai’ and some members even chanted ‘Jai Bhim’.
It is not clear as to whether it was a pre-planned decision or action planned by some members as all the BJP members did not arrive wearing saffron shawls
The budget session of the State legislature commenced on Monday with the address by the Governor. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would be tabling the budget on February 16 for the year 2024-25.

Tue, Feb 13 2024The BJP is morally and intellectually bankrupt. It has no solutions to India's problems. It offers religious fanaticism as a salve for the ills that afflict India.

Mon, Feb 12 2024Maybe the intention was to intimidate Siddha for his constant anti-Hindutva rhetoric, but still it was entirely undesirable on the part of BJP MLA's to enter the assembly in this attire.

Mon, Feb 12 2024Veering away from the shawl business for a while, hiding somewhere, as per today's DH news one gentleman businessman, BRS, who has a defaulted loan of ₹2324cr (public money) from Bob and another unspecified loan from PNB, has been given permission by the honorable HC to go to UAE; before this so many such types are enjoying in that place with nobody to bring them back 😔 then how can one expect....??? Please do not believe in anybody's personal opinion and do your own research and introspect 🤔

Mon, Feb 12 2024Chanting Jai Shri Ram, or Vande Mataram is cardinal sin in these era, and it has become communal. And also it takes us back to pre-historic stone era.. What an erony from the forward thinkers.
