BJP activists disrupt Congress rally, tell Karnataka CM to go to Pakistan
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's speech during the 'Save Constitution, Save Nation' rally was disrupted by some women activists of the BJP who shouted slogans against him.
One of them told him to go to Pakistan. They shouted slogans in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and against the CM. They also displayed black flags till Belagavi police took them away.
They disrupted the rally for a few minutes with everyone looking at the youths raising slogans instead of the stage where the CM was speaking. The CM got disturbed and stopped to ask who was creating problems. The CM summoned the police to the stage.
Narayan Baramani, Additional Superintendent of Police, Dharwad, who was posted near the stage, went near the CM. The CM said, 'Who is the SP here? What is this trouble? Can you not contain it in time?'
Mr. Baramani tried to explain, but the CM was not satisfied. He raised his hand and Mr. Baramani took a step back.
The CM resumed his speech after senior ministers H. K. Patil and M. B. Patil, and Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala asked him to. The CM also gave some instructions to Minister Laxmi Hebbalkar.

Siddaramaiah seeks increase in Karnataka's share of taxes to 50%, Rs 1.15 lakh cr for Bengaluru infrastructure
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday pressed the 16th Finance Commission to increase the state's share of central taxes to 50% and cap the cesses and surcharges at 5%. The CM, in a meeting with Commission chairman Arvind Panagariya in Delhi, urged him to include the union government's non-tax revenues also in the divisible pool. Karnataka, Siddaramaiah said in a memorandum, contributed 8.7% to the national GDP though it accounted for just 5% of the country's population. The state also ranks second in GST collections. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Despite this contribution, there is a stark imbalance in fiscal returns: for every rupee Karnataka contributes to Union taxes, it receives only 15 paise in return. The reduction in Karnataka's share under the 15th Finance Commission — from 4.713% to 3.647% — resulted in a cumulative loss of over ?80,000 crore during the award period, he said. Siddaramaiah proposed that each state must be allowed to retain about 60% of what it contributes, and the rest could go to less-developed states. This, he said, would ensure both growth and equity. Karnataka proposed reducing the weight of the income-distance criterion by 20% and giving more weight to a state's economic contribution, so that high-performing states are not penalized, but encouraged. Live Events The state's per capita devolution has dropped significantly — from 95% to 73% of the national average between the 14th and 15th Finance Commissions, despite an increased GDP contribution, the CM highlighted, while questioning the effectiveness of revenue deficit grants. Siddaramaiah sought a support of ?1.15 lakh crore for investment to strengthen Bengaluru 's infrastructure, given its major role in Karnataka's economy. He also stressed the need to bridge regional gaps in Kalyana Karnataka and Malnad, which face low incomes and poor infrastructure. The state government also favoured replacing discretionary special grants with a formula-based allocation of 0.3% of gross union receipts. If the Commission were to continue with such provisions, then it must give grants for Bengaluru and state's other critical projects, Siddaramaiah said.
