Bengaluru/Belagavi, Dec 21: The Karnataka state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has started the process of putting in place a poll calendar of events for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The issue was discussed at a meeting of the party’s legislators and district units’ presidents held in Belagavi on Thursday.
 
As per plans, BJP supremo Amit Shah will kick-start the party State unit’s preparations for the Lok Sabha elections by addressing six to eight conventions of leaders from booth-level committee clusters in January.

According to a senior leader, each of the proposed convention will be attended by 5,000 to 8,000 grassroots-level leaders from three to five Lok Sabha seats. The first convention of the leaders of Shakti Kendras (clusters of booth-level committees) will be held in Bengaluru.

Soon after, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a slew of political rallies in different parts of the State in February, sources said. However, the dates of the Prime Minister’s rallies are yet to be finalised.

The party has also asked six of its morchas — Yuva, Mahila, SC, ST, Raitha, and OBC — to hold separate conventions in different parts of the State from January 15 to reach out to different cross-sections of society ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, sources said.

Thursday’s meeting also discussed the need to strengthen booth-level committees. The meeting prepared a poll calendar of events for the State unit comprising 17 issues/events.

The BJP is set to take social media to the grassroots levels in terms of its application for election campaign.

The BJP State unit has been told by its central unit to constitute Lok Sabha-level committees comprising a social media in-charge person along with others such as a legal expert and a media in charge by December 31 to monitor preparations for the elections. The committee, among others, will also have political leaders.

Bengaluru, Jul 28: Several state Congress leaders, including its President D K Shivakumar, among others, were detained by police as they tried to march towards Raj Bhavan here against the alleged attempts by BJP to topple the party's government in Rajasthan.

Shivakumar, along with Leader of the Opposition Siddaramaiah, state Congress Working President Eshwar Khandre, Salim Ahmed among others were stopped by the police midway as they marched from KPCC office towards Raj Bhavan.

Congress leaders then staged a dharna at the place where they were stopped. Addressing the gathering, Shivakumar accused the BJP of trying to "murder" democracy by destabilizing and removing elected governments.

"We wanted to protest against it and submit a memorandum to the President through the Governor," but the Karnataka government by using police was not letting them proceed towards Raj Bhavan, he said. "Despite our being a peaceful protest, the police stopped us," he said.

Siddaramaiah, echoing similar views, said peaceful protests against injustice was the right of every citizen. Alleging that the BJP was attempting to destabilise and remove the elected government in Rajasthan as it did in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, he said the Governor's office there (Rajasthan) was being 'misused'.

The Governor was working like an agent of the central government, he charged. He said, despite repeated appeals by the Rajasthan cabinet, the Governor there had not convened the assembly session, for the floor test to take place and for Congress to prove its majority. Police subsequently detained Shivakumar and some other Congress leaders and took them to a nearby police station.

They were later released. Meanwhile, as the Congress' protest amid Covid19 pandemic did not follow social distancing norms, Medical Education Minister K Sudhakar hit out at that party's leaders. In a tweet Sudhakar said, for Congress leaders getting publicity was more important than social concerns.
