Bengaluru, Oct 7: The Karnataka BJP has welcomed holding simultaneous polls for Lok Sabha and assemblies. The Election Commission of India had informed the Centre that it will be “logistically equipped” by September 2018 to hold simultaneous polls.

BJP state spokesperson S Suresh Kumar told reporters in Bengaluru on Friday that parties across the political spectrum can hold a comprehensive discussion on putting in place a system of holding simultaneous polls and come to a unanimous decision in this regard.

Era of mid-term elections

The next Assembly elections in the state will have to be held by May next year, while the current Lok Sabha has a tenure till May 2019.

Kumar pointed out that Assembly elections in a majority of the states were held simultaneously with Lok Sabha elections till 1967. Then the era of mid-term elections started. Kumar said simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and the state Assembly in Karnataka were also held in 1999 and 2004.

He said in the first phase, all state assemblies whose tenure is nearing an end can be tagged along with the Lok Sabha elections.

He said doubts and apprehensions can be resolved through discussions. All political parties can be taken into confidence before taking a final decision.

Parivarthan Rath Yatra

BJP state General Secretary and former minister Shobha Karandlaje has been appointed as convenor of the BJP’s Nava Karnataka Parivarthan Rath Yatra.

Shobha is known for her organisational skills and has looked after the logistics of several political rallies. The Parivarthan Yatra, to expose the “misdeeds” of the state government is the state BJP’s most ambitious yet.

Suresh Kumar said the yatra for southern districts of the state will be launched on November 2 in Bengaluru. For northern districts, the yatra will be launched in Hubballi later.

Bengaluru, Feb 5: Despite installing a BJP government in Karnataka through disguised operation Kamala, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led union government has continued its step motherly attitude towards this south Indian state.

Under the new formula adopted to share central taxes among states Karnataka will be the worst-affected. Though the 15th Finance Commission has recommended a special grant of Rs 5,495 crore for the state for 2020-21, the Centre appears reluctant to pay up and instead has asked for the proposal to be reviewed.

During the Union budget, the report of the 14th Finance Commission headed by NK Singh for 2020-21 was tabled in Lok Sabha. It shows besides Karnataka, Telangana, Mizoram and Kerala saw their central tax share decrease, while Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra were top gainers.

Karnataka's share has decreased from 4.7% provided by the previous finance commission, to 3.6%. Acknowledging there is a steep decline in Karnataka's share from 2019-20, the finance commission has recommended a special grant of Rs 5,495 crore for the state.

Its share in 2019-20 was Rs 36,675 crore, but under the new formula, Karnataka will get only Rs 31,180 crore in 2020-21 from the divisible pool of Rs 8.5 lakh crore - a decline of 22.5%.

Also, the decrease for Karnataka comes on the back of a shortfall in 2019-20. While the state was entitled to Rs 39,806 crore from the divisible pool, it got only Rs 36,675 crore as the Centre suffered a tax revenue shortfall of Rs 1.5 lakh crore.

What is more disheartening though is the Centre's refusal to pay the special grant. Instead, the Union finance ministry has asked the finance commission to reconsider the recommendation. This has prompted the state to take up the issue with the Centre.

"The decline in central taxes devolution comes at a time when the state is going through a tough financial situation. Steps are being taken to ensure Karnataka gets justice," said chief secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar.

Officials said besides corrective measures for 2020-21, the focus will be on ensuring a fair share in subsequent years. However, Karnataka has little chance of getting its dues as the Centre is known to be prudent when distributing tax proceeds among states.

"The Centre has certain views on devolution. We have done our duty by submitting the interim report. It's up to the states to convince the Centre," said Ravi Kota, joint secretary of 15th Finance Commission.

Under the new formula, the commission changed the weightage for some of the six criteria it considers - population, area, forest cover, income distance, demographic performance and tax effort.
