Why can’t the Supreme Court suo moto move and bring the legislators to court or EC move the Supreme Court?
Tonight around 11 pm HDK was speaking in interview as if he was as pure as driven snow in Udaya TN,Kannada Channe.
Story:
Bangalore: Just 36 hours before the do-or-die trust vote in the Karnataka Assembly, horse trading is on in full swing. On Saturday, the BJP released an audio tape of how JDS’s H D Kumaraswamy was allegedly heard offering a cabinet berth to a BJP MLA if he defected to his party.
Here is how the alleged conversation went:
H D Kumaraswamy: BJP MLA Shankaralinge Gowda claims that you are also interested. Why don’t you come with us brother?
Appachchu Ranjan: For what? Why do you need me?
H D Kumaraswamy: I know BJP has not given you anything. You are a very senior MLA. Come with us. We will make you a Cabinet minister in our government. We will give you everything you want.
Appachchu Ranjan: No, I am not interested.
H D Kumaraswamy: Please think again. We might get 25-30 BJP MLAs before 11th October. The government will surely fall.
The latest development was that the rebel MLAs left for Chennai on a chartered flight.
Meanwhile 13 of the BJP rebels have been shepherded to Pune by the JD(S) now. This is the fifth time they have changed their ‘hideout’ in three days. Resort politics is not new to Indian politics.
Almost a recent trend in Indian political arena is lawmakers striking deals at expensive resorts. It’s here that the horse trading happens. The Karnataka ‘natak’ was till recently unfolding at a luxury resort in Goa where BJP rebel MLAs were on auction.
The bidders are the powerful Bellary Reddy brothers and the inheritor of Gowda legacy, H D Kumaraswamy. Both are fighting over the same 13 MLAs, but the aim is exactly opposite — Reddys want to save the government and Kumaraswamy wants to topple it.
Last year when the state’s Tourism Minister Janardhana Reddy lead the dissident campaign against Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa, he too went city hopping with his flock of MLAs.
The state first saw its MLAs taking yatra to expensive resorts across India 6 years ago in 2004 and since then there have been at least 5 revolts in the state. And the climax is always written at some resort in the country.
It is not just a Karnataka-centric phenomenon. The first resort politics started in 1984 by N T Rama Rao the legendary Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh when his govt was dislodged, he flew to Karnataka with all his MLAs.
In 1995, Shankar Singh Waghela repeated it in Gujarat, going city hopping. In 2003 the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra Vilasrao Deshmukh ferried his Congress MLAs to Bangalore before the majority vote.
The entry of the big money into the politics has turned perhaps turned it into a big business. Here money comes first, ideology and loyalty often takes the back seat.
