BENGALURU:

In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said the former’s clarion call against caste politics in his Dussehra address was an incitement to oppose reservation on the lines of caste.

Taking a leaf out of the Bihar government, which recently came out with the inaugural caste census report, the Congress promised to conduct a similar exercise in Rajasthan and across the country if voted back to power.

ವಿಜಯದಶಮಿ ಪ್ರಯುಕ್ತ ದೆಹಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಜಾತೀಯತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕು ಎಂದು ಸನ್ಮಾನ್ಯ @narendramodi ಅವರು ಕರೆ ನೀಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಜಾತೀಯತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕೆಂಬ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿಗಳ ಕರೆಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಸಹಮತವಿದ್ದರೂ ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕುವ ಬಗೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ತುಸು ವಿವರಿಸಿದ್ದರೆ ಅವರ ಉದ್ದೇಶ…

In his customary Dussehra address in the national capital on Tuesday, PM Modi called on the people to finish off forces that are trying to divide the country and its people on the lines of caste and regionalism.

Addressing a huge gathering in Delhi’s Dwarka, PM Modi said the burning of the effigy of Ravan on Dussehra should inspire people to take a pledge to shun leaders who espouse ideologies that threaten to derail the country’s march to progress and development.

ಜಾತೀಯತೆಯ ಜೊತೆ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ಕೂಡಾ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ @narendramodi ಅವರು ತಳುಕುಹಾಕಿ ಏನು ಹೇಳಲಿಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊರಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ?

ಭಾರತ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ದೇಶ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ ಅದು ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳ ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನು ಸಂವಿಧಾನವೇ ಹೇಳಿದೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ರಾಜ್ಯ ಕೂಡಾ ಭಾಷೆ, ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ, ಆಚಾರ, ವಿಚಾರಗಳ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿವೆ.…

— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) October 25, 2023

“It (the celebration) should not be confined to the burning of Ravana’s effigies and Lord Ram’s victory over the demon king but should extend to the triumph over anti-national and evil forces in the country”, PM Modi said.

Responding to his statement, CM Siddaramaiah said on Wednesday, “If we want to get rid of casteism, we must first get rid of untouchability, inequality, sexism and the exploitative system that comes with it. Baba Saheb Ambedkar implemented reservation with the intention of eliminating caste-based inequality. Our aim is to give reservations on the basis of caste”.

ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿ @narendramodi ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಪಕ್ಷ ಹಾಗೂ ಪರಿವಾರ ಆಗಾಗ ಏಕಭಾಷೆ, ಏಕ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಭಜನೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಾದೇಶಿಕತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಲು ನೀಡುವ ಕರೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಗಳ ಅಸ್ಮಿತೆಗೆ ನೀಡಿರುವ ಬೆದರಿಕೆಯ ರೀತಿ ಕಾಣುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಇಂತಹದ್ದೊಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿಯವರಿಂದಲೇ…

— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) October 25, 2023

Earlier in the day, the CM also took a jibe at JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy in Mysuru, saying that the latter’s party and the BJP are dependent on each other.

ಹಿಂದೂ ಧರ್ಮದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ದಣಿವಿಲ್ಲದಂತೆ ರಾತ್ರಿ-ಹಗಲು ಮಾತನಾಡುವ ಪ್ರಧಾನಮಂತ್ರಿ @narendramodi ಅವರು ಮತ್ತು ಅವರ ಪಕ್ಷ ಜಾತಿಯ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ ಎದುರಾದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ಭೀತಿಗೀಡಾಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಯಾಕೆ?

ಜಾತೀಯತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಮೊದಲು ಅದು ನಮ್ಮ ನಡುವೆ ಇರುವುದನ್ನು ಒಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಲ್ಲವೇ? ಜಾತಿ ಕುರುಡಿನಿಂದ ಜಾತೀಯತೆಯ ನಿರ್ಮೂಲನೆ ಅಸಾಧ್ಯ…

— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) October 25, 2023

“Kumaraswamy is more desperate (for an alliance) than the BJP. He would not have won a single seat if he had not joined hands with the BJP. They are dependent on each other just as a visually impaired person leans on a cripple for support”, the CM said.

ಜಾತೀಯತೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕಾದರೆ ಮೊದಲು ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಂಟಿ ಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಅಸ್ಪೃಶ್ಯತೆ, ಅಸಮಾನತೆ, ಲಿಂಗತಾರತಮ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಶೋಷಕ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ತೊಡೆದುಹಾಕಬೇಕು. ಜಾತಿ ಆಧಾರಿತ ಅಸಮಾನತೆಯನ್ನು ನಿವಾರಣೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶದಿಂದಲೇ ಬಾಬಾ ಸಾಹೇಬ್ ಅಂಬೇಡ್ಕರ್ ಅವರು ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯನ್ನು ಜಾರಿಗೆ ತಂದಿದ್ದರು. ಮೀಸಲಾತಿಯನ್ನು ಜಾತಿ ಆಧಾರದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ…

— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) October 25, 2023

To a question on ‘power famine’ prevailing in the state, the CM said measures have been taken to overcome the shortage of electricity. “We will purchase power from outside and have issued an order that all private companies producing electricity in the state should provide their supplies to the government”, he said.
