Bengaluru, Feb 25: Prajwal Revanna, who had exposed the ‘bucket culture’ and ‘suitcase culture’ within Janata Dal (Secular), and coaxed the party supremo H D Deve Gowda to make him the state general secretary of the party, is now all set to contest the upcoming assembly polls in spite of Despite his uncle and JD(S) state president H D Kumaraswamy’s strong opposition to his candidature.

After maintaining a low profile for the last two months, Prajwal, much to the chagrin of Kumaraswamy, has restarted building ground in Rajarajeshwari Nagar (RR Nagar) constituency in Bengaluru, from where he is hopeful of making poll debut.

Deve Gowda had earlier made it clear that the party would not field Prajwal. Sources said Gowda however had a change of heart after the latter threatened to make matters worse for the party.

On Friday, the JD(S) circles were abuzz with speculations after Prajwal was spotted in the constituency, going through the voters' list. The youngster had rarely entered RR Nagar after Gowda appointed him as the party general secretary.

He had, however, registered his protest against the party leadership by absenting himself from all the major events of the party in the last few weeks. But, with the elections fast approaching, Prajwal has decided to not lie low anymore.

He told media persons that he had visited the constituency to call upon families of the two JD(S) youths who had died recently. "It's true that I was in the constituency. But, I was only visiting the families of the deceased JD(S) workers. I did meet a few leaders, but I did not go around campaigning," he said.

New Delhi, Jan 26: On the occasion of the 71st Republic Day, Karnataka state's tableau depicted the philosophy of Basaveshwara and the concept of Anubhava Mantapa (Centre for Experience), which was the socio-religious centre that existed in the present-day Basava Kalyana of Bidar district in Karnataka.

It is regarded as the first religious parliament in the history of mankind.

This 12th-century centre has a special significance in the history of humanity, as it represents composite culture, philosophy, spirituality, equality among other universal human values.

These values were propagated by the saint and social reformer- Basaveshwara and other sharanas- followers of Basava philosophy of the socio-religious movement.

It is significant that representatives of Anubhava Mantapa were nominated based on their spiritual attainment, regardless of caste, class and sect they belonged and thus discarded the differentiation of human beings as higher or lower, on the basis of birth, occupation and gender.

The front part of the tableau has the replica of Basaveshwara preaching his most cherished value - "Work is Worship".

For Republic Day Parade 2020, a total of 56 tableaux proposals (32 from states/UTs and 24 from Ministries/Departments) were received. Out of these, 22 were shortlisted for participation in the Republic Day Parade 2020.

Bengaluru, Jul 29: A day after Congress staged a nationwide 'Save Democracy' protest, Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy slammed Congress for "dividing" the political parties and "buying MLAs" and questioned their "democratic behaviour" to lure Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLAs who supported them.

Kumaraswamy, in a media statement, said, "Is it a democratic behaviour to lure MLAs of other parties through political shenanigans and later merging with them?"

"Congress is an expert in dividing political parties and purchase of MLAs," said Kumaraswamy adding, "If you are dividing the like-minded party MLAs through deceit, who would support you?"

He alleged that the term "horse trade" in politics came to be used because of Congress.

Congress had tied to divide the Janata Dal (Secular) in 2004. To this, he added, "To avoid the party being hijacked by the Congress, I had to oust the Congress-JD(S) coalition government through a political coup."

Kumaraswamy further accused, "Haven't the Congress who is making a big noise about the purchase of MLAs divided the JD(S) in the past? Is it not a fact that for the sake of one Rajya Sabha seat, the Congress government in Karnataka purchased eight JD(S) MLAs?"

Both -- Congress and BJP -- are "criminals" in purchase matter, he added.

Rajasthan Congress is in turmoil after simmering differences between Sachin Pilot and Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot came out in the open. Pilot was removed as the Deputy Chief Minister and the state unit chief of Congress.

The Congress has accused the BJP of indulging in horse-trading to bring down the Gehlot government. The BJP has rejected the allegations.
