BANGALORE: The Monsoon session of Karnataka Assembly is expected to be stormy with the opposition parties all set to corner the ruling BJP on several issues, including corruption and rain havoc.
The BJP intends to introduce the contentious Anti-Conversion Bill in the Legislative Council during the ten-day session after it was approved by the Assembly in December 2021.
The Governor approved the bill after the governing BJP tabled it, therefore it is already in effect as an ordinance. While the leaders of the ruling party are prepared to defend the current administration, the opposition Congress, which is confident in its chances of winning the next Assembly elections, is prepared to launch a barrage of criticisms against the BJP.
People are keeping a close eye on procedures and political developments as the Assembly elections are less than eight months away. The goal of all the major parties, including local party JD (S), is to build support among the electorate.
BJP sources claim that the party's leaders have been instructed to vigorously defend the party's positions.
Opposition The bill will undoubtedly face ferocious opposition from Congress. The government will also be questioned about giving killers of Hindu victims in the state preferential treatment. The Muslim youths claimed that the ruling BJP did not even bother to offer its condolences for the Muslim youths who were killed, despite the fact that it had generously compensated Hindu victims and comforted the families of Bajrang Dal activist Harsha in Shivamogga and BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Kumar Nettare in Dakshina Kannada.
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai had announced a government post for Praveen's family, much to the dismay of opposition parties. At the just finished BJP major event in the state, his picture was kept and tributes were given. Even during the convention, Union Minister Smriti Irani remarked that Praveen sacrificed his life for the good of the country. The BJP would likely come under assault from Congress and JD (S) for failing to control the flood situation in the state, particularly in Bengaluru. If infrastructural issues are not fixed, IT companies will seek out new locations, the government has been warned by the organisations that represent them.
Former Infosys director Mohan Das Pai has come under fire from BJP officials after raising concerns about the ruling party's handling of the recent heavy rains.
Though the revelation is a blow for the BJP, officials claim that the support base won't be affected because people are aware of the extraordinary rains. The overwhelming support for "Janaspandana" in Doddaballapur town has also given the BJP leaders more confidence to take on the opposition Congress.
