Ex-Karnataka Minister Criticizes BJP's Opposition Performance

In a surprising critique of his own party, former Karnataka Cabinet minister Arvind Limbavali has declared that the BJP has "totally failed as an opposition." He highlighted a lack of coordination between key party figures, including state president B.Y. Vijayendra and Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka, which has hindered the party's effectiveness in addressing significant issues such as the MUDA scam and the misuse of grants for SC-ST communities. Limbavali expressed disappointment that the BJP did not capitalize on opportunities to expose the ruling government's mismanagement, particularly in light of ongoing crises like dengue outbreaks and flood damage. He lamented the party's failure to represent the people's suffering and criticized the leadership for their inaction during the recent Monsoon Session of the State Legislature. Limbavali's comments come after he was denied a ticket for the 2023 Assembly elections, with his wife winning instead. sources

Bhagwant Mann on Sending Protesting Farmers to Lahore

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized the central government's handling of protesting farmers during a public meeting in Haryana, questioning whether he should send them to Lahore if they were barred from entering Delhi. Farmers from Punjab, organized by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, initiated a 'Delhi Chalo' march on February 13, demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP) for crops. After being obstructed by Haryana Police, they have remained at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders. Mann emphasized the historical context of farmers' protests and urged Haryana voters to support the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for change, highlighting initiatives in Punjab such as merit-based job allocations and free electricity.

Court: Mamata Banerjee Can Comment on Governor Legally

The Calcutta High Court ruled on Friday that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee can make statements regarding Governor C V Ananda Bose, provided they adhere to the principles of freedom of speech and public duty. This decision came after Banerjee and Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh appealed against a prior order restricting them from making defamatory remarks about the Governor. The court clarified that the previous judgment did not identify any specific defamatory statements, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression while also acknowledging the legal boundaries of defamation. The Governor had previously sought to restrain Banerjee from commenting on alleged incidents at Raj Bhavan, particularly after she suggested that women felt unsafe visiting the premises. This comment sparked the defamation suit, stemming from her criticism of the confusion surrounding the oath-taking ceremony of two newly elected MLAs, who opted to take their oaths at the assembly instead of Raj Bhavan. sources
