C M Ibrahim to jump back to JD(S) soon?

December 29, 2016

Bengaluru, Dec 29: More than a decade after he was expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), Congress leader and Karnataka State Planning Commission vice-chairman C M Ibrahim is reportedly making preparations to return to the former prime minister H D Deve Gowda led party.

cmi Mr Ibrahim, who has a history of party hopping, has been constantly criticising chief minister Siddaramaiah since last year and many a times openly praised the JD(S) supremo.

Interestingly, Mr Ibrahim has close friendship with Mangaluru-bsed industrialist B M Farooq, who was recently made JD(S) chief general secretary. On the other hand, JD(S) also trying to bring in someMuslim faces' after taking action against rebel Muslim MLAs Zameer Ahmed Khan and Iqbal Ansari.

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Ibrahim, who had won the trust of Deve Gowda after migrating to erstwhile Janata Dal from Congress party decades ago, had began criticising him before being expelled from the JD(S) along with Siddaramaiah in 2005.

Even though Siddaramaiah joined Congress soon, Mr Ibrahim joined the party in 2008. Later, Mr Ibrahim emerged as a confidante of Siddaramaiah and the latter, after becoming the chief minister of Karnataka, did not hesitate to give the former the coveted post of the vice-chairman of Planning Commission in spite of severe opposition from several party leaders.

Mr. Ibrahim, who first became an MLA in 1978 on the Janata Party ticket, joined the Congress in 1980 and became the Labour Minister in the R Gundu Rao ministry. He was then known as the 'right hand' of Gundu Rao. After Gundu Rao asked Mr Ibrahim to quit the ministry over corruption allegation, the latter had distanced himself from the Congress and gradually became close to Deve Gowda.

After years of political hibernation, he joined the Janata Dal in the 1990s and became its president. He was the Union Civil Aviation Minister in the Deve Gowda ministry. Mr Ibrahim is known for his oratory and public speeches as he enjoys command over Kannada and many other regional languages.

Kick him out from Congress

First of all he is an opportunist politician, giving big speeches not enough, he is not a minority leader nor a minority face. Chief Minister given a very good post for him even though he has not won any assembly seat! All minority community is not behind him. If BJP or Sangh Parivar offer him better post, he will not hesitate to join.

Better for him to join BJP / Sangha Parivar

He is opportunist and better to leave Congress and clean congress.

C.M.Ibrahim is not a influential minority leader. He is a opportunist. It is better congress to sack him from the party. He is an liability to any political party. He is a devotee of Pejawar mutt and Siddaganga mutt. He is a name sake Muslim. He tried to re introduce the lottery system.

Thanks CD for bringing to light the bhayankara history of this oosaravalli

This move will clean Congress. He is not a muslim face. In the name of religion many politicians makes huge money.

We're 80 per cent, you're 18; don't oppose CAA: Karnataka BJP MLA spews venom

News Network

January 4,2020

Bellary, Jan 4: A BJP MLA has apparently threatened 'minority' Muslims against participating in anti-CAA protests, saying that opposing the new Citizenship Act will not be good for them and they will have to face serious repercussions.

"It's just a caution for those who are protesting against the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). We are 80 per cent and you (Muslims) are 18 per cent. Imagine what will happen if we take charge," MLA Somashekar Reddy told a gathering here on Friday.

"Beware of the majority when you live in this country. This is our country. If you want to live here, you will have to, like the Australian Prime Minister said, follow the country's traditions," he added.

He said: "So, I warn you that CAA and NRC are made by Modi and Amith Shah. If you will go against these acts, it won't be good."

Continuing to spew venom, the MLA further said, "If you wish, you can go to Pakistan. We don't have any issues. Intentionally, we would not send you."

He said that the community should live in harmony with Hindus. "If you will act as enemies, we should also react like enemies," he said.

Earlier, Bengaluru BJP MP Tejaswi Surya reportedly called CAA opposers as "puncturewalas".

The nation has been witnessing massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). But Prime Minister Narendra Modi has specifically stated that the NRC was never discussed.

Comments

Eh desh kisika baap ka naheen hai.
