Udupi, Oct 12: Members of the Hindu Jagrana Vedike (HJV) and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) staged a dharna in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office here on Wednesday against what they termed as “anti-Hindu” policies of the Congress-led State government and against the arrest of leaders and activists of Hindutva groups.

In a memorandum addressed to the Governor and submitted at the Deputy Commissioner’s office, these organisations said that the State government, led by the Congress, was obstructing the social and religious activities of the majority Hindu community. It was forcing the police to arrest innocent activists of the Hindutva groups.

There was an undeclared Emergency in the coastal districts. There were systematic attempts to snatch the rights of the Hindus. The government had placed restrictions on Jagadish Karanth, Regional Organising Secretary of Hindu Jagrana Vedike, from attending Hindu conventions.

The activists of the Hindutva groups were prevented by the personnel of police and forest departments from purifying the statue of Deyi Baideti, the mother of the legendary heroes of Tulu Nadu, Koti-Chennayya, which had been earlier defiled in Dakshina Kannada district. This was nothing but an assault on the democratic rights of the citizens.

B. Ramanath Rai, Minister for Forests and Environment, had openly directed the police to foist cases against RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and get him arrested. The police had raided the houses of leaders of pro-Hindu groups who had tried to stop untoward incidents during the funeral procession of the RSS worker, Sharath Madivala, who was murdered in Dakshina Kannada recently. Instead of taking action against cow slaughterers, the government was targeting cow protectors, the memorandum said.

If you advocate   HINDUTWA for the whole country by force,  then you are not INNOCENT.

You are committing attrocities, you can be criminal.

If you want true Hindu, then preach its ideology, but dont force it on others.

First yourself Follow what is in the Geetha. set an example. Your example is better than preaching.

Then preach others.

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.
