Karnataka Chief Minister needs to quell Bajrangi hate mongers and ensure safety to minorities
After being criticised by every corner, the state government had to arrest Bajarang Dal Chief, Mahendra Kumar. The Centre has issued a notice to the Karnataka government to control the law and order. The Central team and the National Commission for Minorities (NCM) have both, in their respective reports, rapped the government of Karnataka for failing to protect the attacks against the Christian community. This forced Yeddyurappa to order a judicial probe, a opposition demand that he had earlier refused.
Governing Karnataka has turned out to be a litmus test for Yeddyurappa. In a political career spanning over decades, Yeddyurappa has been at the helm of many political posts. As a grass-root politician he has headed a town municipality, has repeatedly been to the two houses of state legislature and has been the leader of opposition in Karnataka.
This his first stint in power. He needs to put his experiences to use. Long innings within the RSS and Jan Sangh may have streamlined his philosophy and focussed his approach when it came to contesting elections. However, he now needs to realise that a CM''s job is not to appease his coterie even if they collectively stimulate horrendous wrongs. Karnataka has led India to its IT fame. The recent attacks are a blot on the state''s face. Yeddyurappa needs to realise that his progressive electorate may not forgive him for the recent attacks even if they practice the same religion as his.
