BJP Scheduled Caste Morcha State presidentChalavadi Narayanaswamy has said that the Congress had used Dalits only as its vote-bank and ‘cheated’ the community by doing nothing for its development in the last 70 years. He also held that the Congress’ “anti-Dalit mindset” forced the Dalit communities to desert the party and join the BJP. “Dalits, including me, were under the impression that Congress would work for their welfare and supported it in its electoral politics all these years. But, it used the Dalits as a vote-bank and forgot them after assuming power. Most of the Dalits who have realised its anti-Dalit approach have deserted the party. The erosion of its Dalit support base is the major reason for the decline of Congress and the rise of BJP in the country,” he said.“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
