                    The Anti-Cow slaughter bill 2010 has again become a debatable issue in Karnataka. After almost two years, this time the intention to bring forward the issue might be a trap to get back the belief of the people, which the ruling party has been losing in many ways.

                    It was in the month of March 2010; when B S Yedurappa, who was driving Karnataka from front, proposed an Anti-Cow Slaughter Bill. The cabinet approved it to impose a complete ban on cow slaughter in Karnataka. Well, that’s again a different matter that Mr. Hegde proved him a deplorable driver. Now, I can’t say if Hegde is his nightmare.

Karnataka Government’s Prevention of Cow Slaughter and Cattle Preservation Bill — makes transportation and slaughter of cows (cows, calves, he and she buffalo and bull) a cognizable offence. If found guilty, an offender will be jailed for 1 to 7 years and fined Rs 25,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Oooooo! That’s too expensive man.

Now, it is 2012, where, Land scams, Porn-gate scandals have unveiled the real face of BJP members in Karnataka and also shown us that, how hard they are, when it comes to work. Probably, they might have downloaded the Porn clips from the tax that we pay to them and moreover, we are also least bother about the entertainment happening in the BJP Government, whether it may be Political or …. Yes, that’s the right prediction. Gawda must be smiling now, as he always does!

Results of Udupi and Chikmangalore election could be the best example to witness, how Lotus is shrinking in the state. Perhaps, B S Y didn’t have time to water it, as he was busy in loot and Gowda is busy in holding his chair.

Speaking at Mahaveer Jayanti celebrations here in bengaluru, organized by the Jain Yuva Sangathan on April 4 2012, Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda said the President had sent back the Bill asking for a few minor amendments. “We will make those changes and send it back for approval soon. Once it is approved, we will enforce it strictly,” he said. Gowda said the government would also set up ‘Go Seva Ayog’ for the welfare of cows.

However, the elections are near, and BJP is frightened to see their Party shrinking in some places of Karnataka which were their favorite.  Let’s see, how far this ploy will go to work-out for the BJP. Let’s also see, if the struggle can work as water to bloom the Lotus which is almost shrinking. Probably, this struggle remains the only trick to get back some votes for the Gowda and Family.
