Is this Rahul Gandhi's commitment towards Scheduled Castes: Karnataka BJP on KN Rajanna's 'ouster'
Bengaluru: The Karnataka BJP on Tuesday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and raised questions over his commitment towards the Scheduled community after state Minister K.N. Rajanna was reportedly asked to resign from the cabinet. State Cooperation Minister Rajanna, who hails from the Scheduled Tribe community, was reportedly asked to resign after he said that if there was "voter fraud" in Karnataka, the state Congress should have pointed it out much earlier. Rajanna's remark is said to have not gone down well with the Congress leadership, after which he was reportedly asked to resign. The BJP has also stated that it will demand a statement from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in both the Legislative Assembly and the Council over Rajanna's "ouster". Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha, BJP State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said, "What did K.N. Rajanna, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's close associate and senior cabinet colleague, do to be sacked from the cabinet? The people are asking this question. What crime did Rajanna commit to warrant his removal? This development is not just an internal matter of the Congress party. The issue should be discussed in the session." "The reason for throwing him out of the cabinet should be made public. Is this the commitment of the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, towards the Scheduled Castes? Rahul Gandhi arrived in Bengaluru last week and made repeated allegations against the Election Commission, claiming that the BJP had come to power at the Centre through malpractices," he stated. "Rahul Gandhi has avoided filing a complaint with the Election Commission. On the other hand, when former minister Rajanna revealed the truth, he was sacked from the cabinet, which is not right. In both Houses, we will seek an answer from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on what prompted him to seek Rajanna's resignation," he said. "This is not just an internal matter of the Congress party. The truth must come out while the session is underway. It is the duty of the Chief Minister to inform the House about this decision. Hence, we are raising the matter in both Houses," he added. "Does Rahul Gandhi, who carries a copy of the Constitution and travels across the country, lack the courage to face the truth?" Vijayendra said. 'The people of the state are questioning Congress leaders who give lengthy speeches on Ambedkar. Is it justifiable to take such action against Rajanna?" he stated.

No SIR, Women and Migrants Have a Right to Vote
As the SIR threatens to disenfranchise swathes of Bihari migrants, most workers lack the awareness, documentation or wherewithal to reclaim their rights. As Babasaheb Ambedkar observed, in India's parliamentary democracy, ''one [wo]man, one vote; one vote, one value' is our political maxim', but the contradiction is that while we have 'in politics, equality; in economics inequality' thrives, leading to 'fabulous wealth and abject poverty'. In this scenario of extreme inequality, Mahatma Gandhi had a talisman for public service: 'Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest [wo]man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to [her]him.' Will the poorest Bihari voters benefit in any way from the special intensive revision (SIR)? Or do they stand to lose their legitimate citizenship, all social security benefits and perhaps even liberty? More than 1,00,000 people in Assam have been categorised as 'D-voters' till date under suspicion of being undocumented Bangladeshis, with thousands languishing in detention centres. In Bihar's first draft electoral roll released on August 1 itself, the Election Commission (EC) has erased more than 6.5 million voter names, equivalent to the population size of Serbia. Even Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav apparently made a mistake by claiming that his name was not on the list. This faux pas indicates the confusion among voters and the quality of the draft list, and how farcical it is to conduct an SIR in 60 days. In his latest press conference he has also said that more than three lakh households on the voter list have '0' as their house number. So why is the EC in such a hurry? Chart via author. Source: 2011 Census. Bihar is a state where virtually half the women are illiterate (48%) as per the 2011 census. Amongst women above 45 years, 77% cannot read a form. Amongst Dalits in this age group, the figure is 91%. Now all Bihari voters, even if semi-literate, are supposed to search for their names on this new draft list. If their names are missing, then the burden is on them to submit two forms along with documentary proof before September 1. Scroll has confirmed that 55% of those summarily excluded from the draft roll are women, despite the century-long international suffragette movement to ensure women earned the right to vote. Preliminary analysis by The Hindu also indicates higher voter deletions in Muslim-majority districts and those with high out-migration. Bihar also has amongst the largest proportion of internal migrants. 3.5 million of those deleted have apparently either permanently migrated or could not be traced. So a population the size of Mongolia which was allowed to vote in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has now been summarily expunged. So, 138 Bihari migrants living in Bengaluru, Delhi, Bhilwara and Balotra have submitted individual statements to the Supreme Court to highlight their plight. In distant lands, away from their homes battling hunger, slave wages and inhumane living conditions, more than half who have submitted these testimonies with the support of civil society collectives had not even heard of the SIR before we informed them. Sameer Khan summarised their plight aptly as, ' mazdooron ko kuchh malum nahi hai (labourers know nothing).' Let us consider three scenarios. First, if any of these migrants are deleted from the draft rolls as untraceable (we spoke to them before August 1), few would have any idea as most had left their voter cards in their villages and thus cannot enter their voter ID into the EC's website to know their status. Even if they were aware, around a third did not have any of the 11 documents required by the EC to be re-included in the list. In contrast, 99% said they had an Aadhaar card, 89% a bank passbook, 80% a PAN card and 70% a ration card. These findings are similar to the phone survey by the Stranded Workers Action Network. Despite the Supreme Court's order on July 10, the EC in its counter affidavit has made no commitment to including the easily available Aadhaar, voter or ration cards. This begs the question raised by the SC – is this an exercise designed for mass inclusion or exclusion? Second, even if the EC were to expand the list of eligible documents, only 11% of migrants had been able to submit their forms online, let alone upload documents. As Surendra Mahto in Bengaluru said, 'form bharne ki jaankari nahi hai (we don't have information on how to fill the form).' The average cost of returning home to Bihar was around Rs 4,500 across the four cities, a quarter of their monthly wages. Most complained that they could not go back. Guddu Kumar in the Rajasthani city of Bhilwara, for example, stated, ' main factory me do saal se kaam karta hu aur gareeb ghar ka eklauta kamane wala hu (I have been working in the factory for the past two years and I am the only breadwinner for my poor family).' Sahil Mohammed, who works in a hotel, also complained, ' chhutti nahi hai, malik nikal denge (I don't get leave; my employer will fire me).' Anita Devi, who does housekeeping work for a private company, echoed, ' chhutti nahi milti, bachhe ke saath jaane mein taklif hoti hai (It is hard to get leave, it is tough to travel [back to Bihar] with children. Chart via author. Lastly, what if they are declared dead? How will they go to the courts to prove that they are 'alive' and 'citizens'? The EC in its latest affidavit has even refused to publish the list of deleted persons and the reasons why they were not included in the draft rolls. Most of these migrants survive on meagre wages and face substantial discrimination. Their average monthly income is merely Rs 16,182. Most labourers we met in Bengaluru were living in squalid conditions, with seven to ten migrants housed in a room, sharing mattresses by work shifts. Many Biharis work at the Krishnarajendra Market that was once a historic battlefield and some also moonlight as delivery agents for mobile apps to save some money to send back home. Now, most of these hard-working souls would not even be aware if their names have been struck off voter rolls. As per Yogendra Yadav and Rahul Shastri's calculations based on population estimates, this may be the largest voter disenfranchisement in the world in the 21st century. The cancer of SIR also threatens to spread. The EC has apparently already started meetings for the rollout of an SIR in Manipur and possibly in Delhi and West Bengal. For the last two years Manipur has been simmering with ethnic strife with more than 50,000 people in refugee camps. Even as the government plans to shut down all refugee camps by December, is the cleaning of electoral rolls the most important priority? As Bihari migrant Santosh Kumar, who works in a factory in Rajasthan's Bhilwara, pleaded, 'SIR … ise turant roka jaye (please stop this SIR immediately).' Will Indian electoral democracy survive, SIR?

Rajya Sabha adjourned till 2 pm amid uproar over rejection of Rule 267 notices
New Delhi: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned till 2 p.m. on Tuesday following a noisy standoff between the Chair and Opposition members over the rejection of 21 notices submitted under Rule 267, which allows suspension of listed business to discuss urgent matters of public importance. Deputy Chairman Harivansh, presiding over the session, stated that the notices received pertained to four different subjects, but none were drafted in proper terms as required under Rule 267. Of these, 11 notices sought discussion on matters currently sub judice. Citing procedural norms and past precedents, the Deputy Chairman declined to admit any of the notices, reiterating that parliamentary rules prohibit discussion on matters pending before the courts. DMK MP Tiruchi Siva attempted to invoke Rule 266, which empowers the Chair to regulate matters not specifically provided for in the rulebook. 'Even the Constitution is subject to amendments,' Siva argued, urging flexibility in the face of pressing issues which he claimed were of national concern. However, the Chair maintained that he was bound by the rules and could not entertain improperly framed motions. As the Deputy Chairman called out names for Zero Hour submissions, Trinamool Congress member Derek O'Brien interjected, criticising the procedural rigidity. 'This is not a gymkhana. There is serious business,' he said, objecting to the inclusion of two major taxation bills in the supplementary list circulated minutes before the session began. He insisted that the 'Opposition was willing to discuss the SIR issue in any language the government preferred,' but was cut short by the Chair, who reiterated that the matter had already been ruled upon. Earlier in the day, ministers and several members laid official papers and reports as per the listed business. However, the Opposition's persistent demands for a debate on electoral transparency led to yet another disruption in the Monsoon Session, which has already lost over 62 hours to repeated adjournments.
