As soon as Yeddyurappa announced to offer his resignation to his Chief Minister post, he along with his MLAs have walked out of the Vidhan Sabha, the Karnataka Assembly, even as the National Anthem – Jana Gana Mana – is being played out.
Though Yeddyurappa was on his way to submit his resignation to Governor, he was still the Chief Minister when he had walked out of the house along with his newly elected MLAs when Jana Gana Mana was playing.
While Congress and JD(S) MLAs stood in the house when the National Anthem was playing, BJP MLAs, who were in despair for losing power, walked out not noticing that Jana Gana Mana was being played.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi has hit back at the BJP over its “utter disrespect” towards the National Anthem.
“Did you notice that after the entire exercise in the Vidhan Sabha in Karnataka, the BJP legislators and the Speaker chose to get up and leave the House before the National Anthem. Did you notice that? Right? You have all noticed that. In a way, this is what we are fighting today. The idea that you can rubbish every single institution in this country, you can disrespect anybody in this country, simply because you happened to be in power. This is something that the BJP does. There is no institution in this country that is worthy of the respect of Narendra Modi, Amit Shah. And they believe that every single institution can be destroyed and stepped upon by them,” Rahul lashed out at Modi and Amit Shah.
Talking about BJP’s entire exercise in Karnataka episode, Rahul in his scathing attack blamed Modi of authorizing corruption. “You’ve seen openly how the PM directly authorised purchasing of MLAs in Karnataka. So the idea that PM spreads in the country that he is fighting corruption, is a blatant lie. He encourages corruption. Pradhan Mantri brashtachar hain. (He is corruption)”.
Rahul’s speech immediately after Yeddyurappa’s announcement to quit is winning appreciation from many sections. Clearly, Rahul’s transformation is seen after he took reigns of the party as President. Congress leaders across the nation are said to be quite happy over how their party chief handled the entire issue of Karnataka crisis.
