Not a single Dalit vote should go to casteist BJP in Karnataka: Jignesh Mevani

Bengaluru, Apr 6: Activist-turned-politician Jignesh Mevani has urged the Dalits of Karnataka not to vote for Bharatiya Janata Party in May 12 Legislative Assembly polls.

Mr Mevani, who frequently visits Karnataka, said that Dalit groups should unitedly defeat the saffron party. “I am appealing to every Dalit group that not a single vote should go to BJP. I will do the same in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh… because the BJP is completely casteist, communal and fascist,” the legislator from Vadgam in Gujarat said during his recent Bengaluru visit.

Mr Mevani said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised to generate 20 million jobs every year but was now firing bullets at Dalits. “The country will not forgive you,” he said.

Citing health problems, Mevani said he would not be able to campaign extensively in the state. “We will ensure that these fascist forces are thrown into the dustbin of history lock, stock and barrel,” he said. However, he added, that he would not advise Dalits on which party they should vote for, “but we must defeat this casteist and communal BJP”.

Regarding the Supreme Court order perceived by some as diluting the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Mr Mevani said this was a clear encroachment by the judiciary into the jurisdiction of Parliament.

“In India, there is an atrocity every 15 minutes...,” he said. “Considering the fact that every dimension of life in India is brutally distorted by the phenomena of caste, the apex court should have refrained from such statements, and should have definitely refrained from rewriting the Act.”

“I do not justify violence. But to the best of my information out of the 11 who died, nine were Dalits. This is an indicator of the feudal system we live in,” he added. Mevani was referring to the violence that accompanied the Bharat Bandh called by Dalit organisations against the Supreme Court order on the SC/ST Act.

Mevani said Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that no previous government had respected BR Ambedkar as much as the current one. “I say that no other government has insulted Ambedkar more. We asked for jobs and you have given us bullets. This is the Gujarat model.”

I appreciate mewani. only dalits grassroot leaders can understand pain of fellow caste men.... dalits should understand this , instead of following uppercaste ring leaders , should think their empowerment thru themselves or thru with the support of like minded parties and by aligning with the people those make you to suffer since centuries...

Who the hell are you Mevani ? What locus standi do you have in our State Karnataka. To hell with you and your Urban Naxalites. You can keep on ranting and spewing your venomic diatribes against the Nationalists. We people of Karnataka will only dismiss you with the contempt you deserve. We are ready to confront you on every possible forum. This fight between you and the patriots are not going to be restricted to electoral battles. We will fight you on principles and ideologies. You might have won your election with the tacit support of the Congress. You and your ilk will face your waterloo in Our Karnataka.

    Just to encroach votes and to grab the power chair, these traitors are dividing people based on caste and religion. If they are so generous let them shell out from their pockets throughout the year to each family..why just during election time? When I am standing and breathing in this land we should respect this India. Don't bark like mad street dogs, rather go help people who are really suffering being poor. Don't bring your propaganda for political gain and power !!!! and I belong to lower caste but I am Indian first

        Kannadigas, Wake up and Be aware! Very shortly you are likely to be overrun by a pretender called Mewani that only talks about dalit cause, but himself hobnobs with the New Delhi/ Congress elites. He did not even visit the families of the dalits who were recently murdered in UP and Haryana, and also not reported by English media because "it did not fit their narrative". Several Hindi media covered the news story and also pointed out this hypocrisy of Mewani and others.

          Another idiot who is portraying his unashamed personal ambition as a Dalit grouse! Another Kachadawal in the making. The original will bite the dust next time around; the new one will as well.

            I dont think so, Mr. Mevani can make big difference..! He is against BJP. BJP people are strong enough. May be BJP may give feeling of losing. But they are working hard behind.. They will do all the gimmicks. Through that they will "snatch" dalits and minority votes too

            Bengaluru, Jan 6: Students and teachers from various colleges in Bengaluru gathered at the Town Hall in the city to protest against the violence which broke out at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in New Delhi on January 5.

            The students raised slogans against Home Minister Amit Shah and Delhi Police.

            Placards that read 'The more you attack, the stronger we become', 'Take off your masks terrorist', 'With JNU' were seen during the protest.

            "We are here to protest against the incident that took place at JNU with our brothers and sisters. What Delhi Police did was shameful and they should have taken charge of the situation long before and not waited for three hours. We stand with JNU," Nisha, a protestor told ANI.

            Professors present at the protest expressed regret over the incident and said attacks on the universities is a sick situation in the country.

            "This is sick, where have we come to -- violence in the universities? I was so safe when I was studying in college; what we are giving to our students is horrible," said Sangeeta, a professor present at the protest.

            Politicians, cutting across party lines, have condemned the attack on students in JNU and demanded strict action against those found guilty.

            More than 18 students were taken to the AIIMS Trauma Centre after a masked mob entered the JNU campus and attacked them and some professors with sticks and rods.

            Bengaluru, May 2: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar has urged Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa to help the farmers in sending their produce to a market here amid the coronavirus lockdown.

            The Congress leader made the appeal to the Chief Minister after listening to the farmers' issues while visiting KR Puram market on Friday.

            Farmers told Shivakumar that the police are stopping their vehicles going towards the market despite the order passed by the Centre permitting the movement of vehicles carrying essential commodities during the lockdown.

            "I have received calls from more than 100 farmers in the past few days. Every day, farmers from Kolar, Chikballapur, Malur and many other places come to KR Puram market to sell their agricultural goods, but their vehicles are stopped by the police. The cops do not allow them to sell fruits and vegetables. I request the Chief Minister to look into the matter and help the farmers," Shivakumar told reporters.

            "I got to know that more than 50 vehicles were sent back. This government is of no use if they cannot secure the interests of the farmers. This government is not providing required support to the farmers," he added.

            The Congress leader was accompanied by MLC Narayana Swamy and former president of Hoskote Authority Narayana Gowda during the visit to KR Puram market.
