In Shivamogga district, there was a sizable demonstration in opposition
to the execution of the former judge Sadashiva Commission’s report regarding
the reservation outside the home of BJP veteran and former Karnataka Chief
Minister BS Yediyurappa

Agitating
members of the Banjara community attacked Yediyurappa’s home with stones,
injuring some police officers in the process. The state government’s
announcement of internal reservation for members of scheduled Castes (SCs) was
the target of the protest.
Prohibitory
orders under Section 144 of the CrPC have been implemented in the town as a
result of this protest. Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister of Karnataka, has
attributed this protest to the Congress party.
People are
being provoked by local Congress leaders, because Congress found it difficult
to comprehend the social justice served to every community, and it led to inciting
violence. He advised the Banjara community to avoid believing any hearsay.
When the
gathering went out of control, police used lathi charges resulting in some
Banjara community members being hurt. Last week, the Karnataka Cabinet decided
to implement internal reservations for SCs.
According to the government, after increasing the Schedule Caste ratio from from 15% to 17.5%, 6% of the reservation will be given to the SC left sub-category, 5.5% to the SC right sub-category, 4.5% to Touchables, 1% to others.
In a
letter to the Centre, the state administration pleaded to adopt the idea in the
ninth schedule of the constitution. Bommai emphasized that the government had
adopted the recommendations of the cabinet subcommittee rather than those of
the Sadashiva Commission, urging the leaders of the Banjara community to take
precautions.
They (the
Lambanis) worry about being taken off the SC list. “I gave the directive for
the SC list to continue to include Bovi, Lamani, and other groups like the
Korcha and Korma populations. Removal is not a possibility. Thus, a directive was
approved and forwarded to the national government. Nobody should be afraid,”
according to Bommai.
In
addition, he made it clear that the SC reservation for the “touchable” has been
raised from 3% to 4.5%. “We’ve met all of their requirements. There is no
ambiguity about that, I want to assure the community leaders from Banjara.”
“The
interests of your community were safeguarded by us (the BJP government). To
people dwelling in Lamani Tandas, we have given out 2.5 lacks “Hakku Patra”
(hamlets). Hence, this only works in your favor,” the CM said. “Violence
shouldn’t have any place, here. Sitting across the table from each other can
help settle any problems,” he said.
