00:00Chaotic scenes being seen right outside the Vidhan Soudha in Karnataka and the question here coming in from the BJP
00:07Will Karnataka taxpayers now fund the Congress Party workers as well?
00:11The BJP is now claiming 60 crore rupees government funding has been set for Congress workers
00:1760 crore rupees for Congress workers
00:20This is right now over the guarantee splurge coming in basically the BJP leaders as you can see are protesting
00:26That why what about the salary to the Congress workers where is this coming from is this coming from the government that means from
00:32Taxpayers money immediately going across to my colleague Sagai Raj for the latest. Sagai go ahead
00:37What are you picking up about? What exactly is the BJP claiming here?
00:46You can see that BJP stage protests in front of Vidhan Soudha demanding that the Karnataka government should roll back the order
00:52Which has been passed that they'll be dispersing the salary to Congress workers who are appointed as president and vice-president to look after
01:00the implementation of
01:02Guarantee schemes in every single cities
01:04So this is a government program and the Congress have justified saying that just like how you appoint the board of directors in various
01:12organization various cooperatives
01:14Likewise, they are also appointing the Congress workers in various board
01:19Which will look after of the implementation of guarantee schemes like whether the people are getting the guarantee schemes or whether they have
01:27any kind of hassle these
01:29Members these leaders are will look into it and they will be getting the government salary to them
01:34So the BJP has staged a protest demanding that you should roll back
01:38You should not try to give the funds from the government and they have also
01:43Hit out at Karnataka Congress government that when you don't have funds for guaranteed
01:47You don't have funds for various other boards and various other issues
01:50But still you are have allocated 60 crore rupees to give salaries to your own Congress employees
01:57So this is this is something which is unacceptable and they are stay on with these a guy stay on workers
02:03We have reactions coming in from the Bharatiya Janata Party C T Ravi senior leader speaking
02:08But that's a leg up cup that's a leg up a hunk our cup that's a leg up. No, but I'm be taking it
02:13Rania Rania Rania Rania Rania Rao case may say it a case a John Jonah
02:21Cone have a scapegoat both bada bada name Chacha mayhe. Which Monty on Kanambi Chacha mayhe
02:30All right, so remember BJP leaders are also right now currently on protest full-on from all sides targeting the Congress government
02:38Let's listen into our Ashok now
02:44Oh
02:51Congress
02:52Now they are rising the all the taxes petrol diesel
02:57Milk everything they are collecting the money from the pool. They are giving the Congress party workers
03:04Here who is working for the government development for the education?
03:09Ashok are a cut the Anganwadi
03:12Character they are crying. They are taking three thousand four thousand five thousand rupees monthly
03:17This Congress people are taking forty thousand rupees more than sixty crores of money. They are looting
03:25Congress people that's why this is a constitutionally illegal
03:31Because poor money poor taxpayers money going to Congress party workers a pocket. This is illegal
03:38That's why you are protesting. We are submitting the memorandum to the governor
03:45Our Ashok remember the leader of opposition in the Karnataka Assembly right now Sagai continues to be with us
03:51Sagai tell me this this is looks like a strategy clearly of the BJP to charge
03:57But this is a serious allegation and people of Karnataka listening right now
04:01When the BJP says now Congress workers will get a salary from the Karnataka or Bengaluru taxpayers money
04:13See if you notice that this has been a practice from a very long time whether it is BJP or
04:17Congress whenever you are operating a board of directors for various corporations various
04:24Boards you go ahead and appoint a Congress workers or Congress leaders and the Congress has justified just like you're appointing board chair
04:30Benson others for the from Congress workers. Likewise, we are appointing the same
04:36Congress workers to look after the guarantee skins is implemented or not
04:39So the but the BJP is demanding that why you have to pay from the government you should pay from the party
04:44Why are you doing this?
04:45So the government has justified when you appoint same BJP workers as board of chairman and corporation head
04:52Why not the Congress can do the BJP staging the protest and this is not the this is not something new
04:57This particular order was implemented on 24th of July
05:012024 despite to assembly session now, the BJP has taken up. In fact, BJP has taken up very late
05:07They were supposed to take up probably during the month of
05:11Behind you the BJP leaders are full-on protesting right outside the Vidhan Soudha premises stay on because just a short while ago
05:17Sagai spoke to the senior leader of the BJP CT Ravi. Let's listen in
05:23After
05:27University camp DNA Kaliya paisa naive
05:32Professors co salary in a key levy paisa naive
05:38Board co paisa de board co paisa. No idea a
05:44Guarantee committee
05:47constitute KK
05:48Congress car a curtain ko paisa bant rahe Sarkar ka
05:51So that's what C.T. Ravi is saying that you don't have money for
06:21so many guarantees that the government promised.
06:24But somehow there's money coming in for the Congress workers as salaries.
06:28So I bring in Sagai again.
06:29Sagai, just put it in perspective for us.
06:32How did the issue of Congress workers getting salary, which should be a Congress organizational
06:38decision, becoming a BJP versus Congress and in many ways government versus opposition
06:43blame game?
06:44See, absolutely.
06:45The BJP has claimed that when they don't have money for disbursement of guarantee money
06:55to the people and beneficiaries, when you don't have money for various other programs
07:00and you increase the taxes, you increase the prices of water and various other amenities,
07:05why you don't utilize the same money for all those things and reduce the burden on the
07:09people?
07:10You have to create an extra post for Congress workers and you use the tax funds to disburse
07:17as a salary around 60 crore rupees to all these appointees.
07:22So the BJP is demanding that you should roll back, you should reconsider.
07:26Yesterday, even on the floor of the House, the Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, D.K.
07:30Shukla Kumar has categorically mentioned that when you appoint the BJP workers of Board
07:34of Chairmen and various other things, why can't Congress do that?
07:37They are doing the same thing what the BJP had done when they were in power.
07:41And they also said that they will try to consider in the Thursday Cabinet meeting, tomorrow
07:45there is a Cabinet meeting, they will try to discuss about it but they did not promise
07:49that they will roll back.
07:50They protested inside the House and they staged a walkout and now today in front of Vidas
07:55Odha, the BJP is continuing the protest, demanding the Karnataka Congress government to roll
08:00back that particular program.
08:02Sagai, we will be tracking the latest on this, stay on with me because right now remember
08:06in Karnataka the visuals that you are looking at is BJP in opposition, full on strategy
08:12to charge at the Congress government while already remember they have been in controversy
08:16in the recent smuggling allegation that has come in to which the Congress says we have
08:21nothing to do with it.
08:22It is possibly the former BJP government that gave real estate deals.
08:25Now the BJP says look at another issue, Congress workers are getting salary from the party,
08:32from the government and taxpayers of the state will have to now pay for it.
