Kerala's Guru Poojan Row: A Marxist Farce Unmasks Phony Secularism

Probes were launched, fingers pointed, and the ritual branded a sinister plot to 'instill a slave mentality." Irony, thy name is Kerala's Marxist clown show! This phony outrage isn't just a laugh—it's a glaring unmasking of a government that's anything but indigenous, dripping with hypocrisy while cloaked in a sham secular veil that the BJP is gleefully ripping apart. Let's shred the red-tape nonsense. Guru Poojan, where students express gratitude and veneration to their teachers, is as old as the Vedas—rooted in a culture that bows to animate and inanimate alike, from living souls to nature's splendor. For millennia, Sanatanis have lived this ethos, thanking the cosmos daily, a practice now parroted by the West as some trendy 'gratitude movement." Yet, these Kerala Marxists, with their imported ideologies, dare to deride it as regressive. Their gall is staggering in name-calling the spiritual and the Dharmic practices of the land. They howl it is modernity's enemy, peddling a deracinating delusion to divest Bharat of its soul. This isn't governance; it's the Chinese echo in red robes, hell-bent on uprooting our heritage while posing as progress. Now, let's zoom in on the Marxist hypocrisy—it's a goldmine of double-dealing. Consider their own stalwart, VS Achuthanandan, who previously voiced concerns about Love Jihad, a topic closely linked to safeguarding cultural integrity. However, this self-proclaimed liberal commune proudly refers to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as a 'communal party"—a clear example of selective amnesia! And let's debunk the lie that 'Love Jihad" is a BJP or RSS invention; it was coined by K.T. Shankaran, then justice of Kerala High Court, in 2009, based on early concerns over forced conversions. The contradiction is profound! Then there's the temple endowment heist: the government rakes in crores from Hindu temples, feasting on sacred funds, while its atheistic core spits on religion. No deity graces their pantheon, yet they dine on the faithful's offerings with a straight face. This fake secularism isn't a Kerala quirk—it's a plague in Indian politics, and the BJP's bold exposé is rattling these fraudsters to their bones. Dig deeper, and the stench thickens. The Adhikari Thesis, a communist relic, once brazenly pushed for Bharat's balkanization, dreaming of splintering this ancient land into petty fiefdoms. These same ideologues are now using 'unity" as a shield to attack a school ritual, displaying a level of hypocrisy so thick that it could be cut with a sickle. Beyond Kerala, the Marxist playbook reeks of the same duplicity. In West Bengal, the 2007 Nandigram massacre saw farmers gunned down for resisting land grabs—equality with a body count, Marxist-style. In Tripura, communist cadres torched homes to enforce their writ, proving their 'people's rule" is thuggery with a manifesto. Kerala's hartal-happy enforcers mirror this, forcing a 'Bharat Bandh' that Bharat largely ignored, exposing their muscle over merit. Even their own leader, Achuthanandan, later distanced himself from the party line on Love Jihad, yet the government clings to denial, a classic case of ideological flip-flopping. The Guru Poojan row is a symptom of this deeper rot. When the Kerala Governor defended the ritual as cultural heritage, the communist chorus cried foul, pinning RSS agendas on him. But let's flip it: why is respecting a guru 'feudal" when Marxist leaders demand blind loyalty from their cadres? The contradiction is a comedy of errors—Marxism, with its Western lens, has long peddled the myth that spirituality and modernity can't mix. Bunkum! Bharat's rishis built Nalanda while Europe stumbled in the Dark Ages. This deracination agenda, a Marxist mirage, aims to erase our dharmic vanity, swapping it for a hollow materialism that alienates us from our essence. Their hypocrisy peaks when they mock Guru Poojan while pocketing temple gold—sacred funds funding their secular sermonising. Globally, their cousins amplify this farce. China's atheist regime bans religion, Cuba's communist utopia crumbles with no faith to lean on, yet Kerala's Left plays a softer game—co-opting Hindu symbols for votes, then trashing them when convenient. Le Monde once dubbed Kerala's communism 'tropical," a quirky mashup of Marx and Krishna, but it's a sham alliance—embraced for ballots, ditched for dogma. The Guru Poojan row is their latest betrayal, a slap to a culture that weathered invasions, only to be judged by ideologues who'd rather genuflect to foreign theorists than honor local traditions. advetisement The BJP's rise in the public psyche is shaking this farcical show. PM Narendra Modi's blend of development (Vikas) and dharmic pride (Virasat) exposes the Left's hollow secularism. The Kerala government's knee-jerk reaction—ordering probes into a school ritual—smacks of desperation, if not vexation. From hounding Asianet reporters exposing college scams to muzzling temple boards, this regime thrives on control, not conscience. Their Marxist hypocrisy isn't just a Kerala flaw—it's a national embarrassment, and the BJP's unapologetic stance is the mirror they dread.

CM Siddaramaiah challenges BJP-JDS to debate on development; slams ‘false propaganda'

MYSURU: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday challenged the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal (Secular) for a debate to know about who has contributed how much towards the state's development. Accusing the Opposition of false propaganda, Siddaramaiah said BJP and JDS should stop misleading people. Siddaramaiah was addressing a mega convention, Sadhana Samavesha, organised by his government, where development works worth Rs 2,578 crore for Mysuru were inaugurated and foundation stones laid. 'I wish the BJP and JDS leaders had come for the event to see the programmes we have launched,' he said, asking the Opposition if the State Government was bankrupt as claimed by them owing to the guarantees, then how will they launch Rs 2,578 crore worth projects. Clarifying that the event was not a show of strength of Siddaramaiah, the Chief Minister said that the government has exhibited to the people the strength of development through the samavesha. He said that the BJP had never come to power on its own and had always gotten back door entry through Operation Lotus. Recalling that the JDS had won 59 seats under his leadership, it has now been reduced to 18 seats. 'JDS is losing its strength every five years and will never come to power in the state. Knowing that they are losing their base and sheen, JDS has joined hands with BJP and won just two seats in the 2024 Parliamentary polls. 'NDA won 19 seats in Karnataka. But its leaders like HD Kumaraswamy, Basavaraj Bommai and Pralhad Joshi have not raised their voice against the injustice meted out to the state in the devolution of taxes. The Centre has just given us Rs 65,000 crore as against Rs 4.5 lakh crore in taxes,' the CM said. He criticised PM Narendra Modi and the BJP for 'copying the guarantee schemes of Karnataka' and implementing them in Delhi, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, and now in poll-bound Bihar. 'We are focusing on the 90 per cent of the population, whereas the BJP is worried about the 10 per cent population from the upper caste and the rich, as they are against social justice and the Constitution,' he said.

GST burden on small traders: Bommai urges CM Siddaramaiah to intervene

Former Karnataka Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Basavaraj Bommai criticised the state's Commercial Tax Department over what he described as an "unfair imposition" of Goods and Services Tax (GST) dues on small and micro traders, urging Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to step in and provide immediate relief. In a post on social media platform X, Bommai said the move has come as a "GST shock" to small business owners and is "highly condemnable." "The action of the Karnataka State Government's Commercial Taxes Department in imposing a GST shock on small and micro-business owners is highly condemnable. Under the GST law, there are certain concessions for conducting business transactions. There is a system where tax must be paid after availing those concessions," his post read. He further said that in this matter, the State Commercial Taxes Department, in haste, has imposed taxes for several years along with interest and other charges, placing a heavy burden on small roadside business owners, pushing them to a situation where they may have to shut down their businesses, which is unacceptable to anyone. "By inviting representatives of the concerned small business owners for discussions and providing them with all kinds of concessions, assistance should be extended to them under the tax settlement scheme, just as it is done for other taxpayers. I demand that the measures taken in other states regarding this issue be implemented here as well, keeping in mind the interests of small business owners and consumers," he further said. "I urge Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to intervene in this matter immediately and provide relief to small business owners. Amid discussions at the highest levels of the Commercial Taxes Department, it is said that this action was taken due to financial difficulties in the state, an empty treasury, and a shortfall in tax collection in the first quarter of this year, prompting such stringent measures out of panic. In this context, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah must provide a solution to this issue," he added. He urged that representatives of the affected small traders be called for discussions and that they be granted all possible concessions. Just as assistance is extended to taxpayers under the Karasamadhana Scheme, similar support should be extended to these small traders. Bommai further stated that other states have already taken appropriate measures in this regard, and such measures must be adopted in Karnataka as well, keeping in mind the interests of small traders and consumers. He noted that due to financial constraints and a shortfall in tax collections during the first quarter of this fiscal year, the state treasury is under pressure. As a result, the Commercial Tax Department has taken this harsh step in haste, following instructions from the top. Given this background, he insisted that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah must step in and offer a suitable remedy.

BJP govt transforming states into hubs of development, says Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed that investments worth over ₹1 trillion have been grounded in Uttarakhand in the past two years. He stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) governments were committed to the development of states, enabling them to attract industries and generate employment. "Under the leadership of Modi Ji, BJP governments are transforming states into hubs of good governance and development, making them preferred destinations for investment, industry, and employment. I am delighted that in Uttarakhand, over Rs 1 lakh crore worth of investments have already been grounded in the past two years," Shah posted on X. "On this occasion, I interacted with investors and young entrepreneurs at the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival - 2025' held in Rudrapur. In the double-engine government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, Uttarakhand is emerging as a new hotspot for sectors ranging from tourism to healthcare, infrastructure, and food processing," he added. Earlier on Saturday, Shah addressed the 'Uttarakhand Investment Festival - 2025', organized on the occasion of the realisation of ₹1 trillion worth of investments in Uttarakhand, and the inauguration and foundation laying ceremony of various development projects worth ₹1,271 crore by the state government. The Home Minister was also felicitated by the Uttarakhand Chief Minister, who joined him for the inauguration and laying of the foundation stone for various schemes under the Uttarakhand government.
