New Delhi, Jul 6: Charging the BJP of indulging in horse-trading in Karnataka by offering all sorts of temptations to it's MLAs there, Congress on Saturday condemned its attempts to bring down an elected government in the state. 

Talking to reporters after a meeting of senior Congress leaders, to discuss the political crisis in Karnataka, caused by the resignation of 11 MLAs, including eight from the Congress and three from JD(S), AICC Media In-charge Randeep Surjewala said, 'BJP is unable to digest the elected government of Karnataka, so they have set up a 'mandi' of Legislators, by providing all sorts of temptations. We condemn the attempts by BJP of trying to bring down the elected government in Karnataka.'

Alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were encouraging defections in the state, Mr Surjewwala said, 'A new symbol of horse-trading politics has emerged in the country, MODI - Mischievously Orchestrated Defections in India.

'Would like to remind the PM of his oath to protect the Constitution. If the PM of the country is going to encourage defections in broad daylight, who will protect democracy? If the Prime Minister and the Home Minister abdicate their constitutional efforts, there will be no democracy left,' he added. 

'We want to tell them that no effort of yours will succeed in denigrating India's democracy or its laudable Constitution," Mr Surjewala asserted. 

The 13-month-old JD(S)-Congress coalition government in Karnataka edged closer to falling down, as 11 MLAs, including eight of Congress and three of JD (S) met Governor Vajubhai Vala, after submitting their resignations to Assembly Secretary MK Vishalakshi, in the absence of Speaker K N Ramesh Kumar.

AICC General Secretary for Karnataka K C Venugopal rushed to Bangalore, in the light of the developments.

The PEACE LOVERS GROUP should be formed to protect the state, country which should attack those responsible for causing such a big destruction of peace.

Attack mercilessly those who responsible like   all MLAs who betrayed their people of their constituency   and Opposition leaders Yaddi,  Modi,   Shah and whoever else involved.

This is the real struggle and Heroism like who fought against British to get freedom.

Keeping quiet is the big crime. Answerable to God. May God help

Feb 3: The Karnataka government is probably the only state to have so many nodal agencies to deal with investment proposals. There is the KIADB, Karnataka Udyoga Mitra, State High Level Clearance Committee (SHLCC), State Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) and District Level Single Window Clearance Committee.

While the government claims these have been created to speed up the process of setting up industries, they’re only delaying it. “A four-to-five year delay in acquiring land has become the norm,’’ say industry sources.

“These entities are only adding layers of obstacles to investors and is not really helping industries,” said a senior IAS officer.

While DLSWCCs are headed by deputy commissioners are empowered to clear investment proposals up to Rs 15 crore, SLSWCC, headed by the industries minister, clears proposals more than Rs 15 crore and up to Rs 500 crore. Proposals worth more than Rs 500 crore have to be cleared by SHLCC chaired by the CM. These entities have to meet regularly and clear proposals. But often, these meetings don’t happen as scheduled. “The delay starts from here,” said Vasant Ladava, industrialist and member of Karnataka Industries and Commerce, Bengaluru.

The single-window agencies involving representatives of departments like industries, revenue, pollution control board and forest are supposed to collectively give necessary clearances required for industries. “But, of late, they have become only project approvers without other responsibilities, leaving investors in the lurch,” said Ladava.
