Stage set for Siddaramaiah's 75th birthday bash (Deccan Herald)

The stage is set for senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah's 75th birthday bash here on Wednesday, amid some unease within the party about the event, ...

Having switched to Congress from JD(S), Siddaramaiah was popular as CM (2013-18) because of his populist "Bhagya" schemes and has a pan-Karnataka image, but he had failed to bring the party back to power in 2018, despite all populism. Finally it was packaged as an event organised by Congress leaders and workers, but not on the party forum, as Siddarmaiah and his camp succeeded in going ahead with the event, despite resistance from within especially by Shivakumar camp and some Congress' old guards, by warning against promotion of "personality cult". His critics see it as an attempt by Siddaramaiah's camp to project him and his contributions, with an aim to send out a message to both the high command and his detractors within the party, ahead of polls, while consolidating the Kuruba leader's 'AHINDA' vote base. Though both Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar have on record maintained that the CM will be decided by party's newly elected MLAs and high command on gaining majority in the polls, their loyalists and camps are hellbent to project their respective leader, making things messy. Siddaramaiah's fans and followers from Belagavi have prepared a 3,000-metre-long pictorial biography of the former Chief Minister, which is likely to be inaugurated by the leader of opposition in the assembly tomorrow. There is also palpable worry within the party about a virtual division getting created between the camps of both leaders, and its adverse impact on its prospects in the polls.

Looks like this is the reason why he wants to be CM for one last time at any cost, if the party wins.” PTI KSU RS ROH ROH “According to records, I am 75 years old now, but no one knows for sure. A Congress leader, not wanting to be named, said Siddaramaiah is the only CM in the state to complete a full term in 40 years; he is hit among masses, “but, doesn’t have a sense of closure as he could not retain power in 2018. Siddaramaiah though has rejected claims that the event is being organised to project him ahead of polls, he has however maintained that there will certainly be a political message from the event, as none in politics are ‘Sanyasis’. Finally it was packaged as an event organised by Congress leaders and workers, but not on the party forum, as Siddarmaiah and his camp succeeded in going ahead with the event, despite resistance from within especially by Shivakumar camp and some Congress’ old guards, by warning against promotion of “personality cult”. The state Congress initially seemed confused in its response to the event, as it first tried to see it as a private event organised by Siddaramaiah’s supporters; then amid fears that the event may turn into a show of strength, a word was spread that it would be held on the party forum.

A spokesman of the Haryana Police said when the police team asked them to surrender, the accused started firing at the team. The Crime Investigation Agency of the Panipat police has arrested a man for demanding ₹20 lakh extortion posing himself as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. He said the current BJP government is harmful to the harmony of Karnataka. “While the Congress government united the people and created harmony in the state, the BJP is dividing people and spreading hatred in this beautiful state. They also say that the state was in complete harmony when Congress was in power in Karnataka. They also say that harmony and peace are very important to do business in the state. The Haryana Police cracked a double murder case that took place at Hisar's Hansi on August 4 with the arrest of five persons.

At Siddaramaiah's birthday celebrations, the former CM and party chief D K Shivakumar hugged each other and played down their long-standing differences.

When it was his turn to speak, Siddaramaiah rubbished reports of differences between him and Shivakumar. “For a long time, the Opposition and the media have been saying that Siddaramaiah and D K Shivakumar are opposed to each other. “Siddaramaiah and I, and the leaders present here cannot bring the Congress to power on our own. He took oath on the day of Basava Jayanthi. The philosophy of Basavanna is the philosophy of the Congress party,” Shivakumar said. The state Congress chief also claimed that he was moved when the idea of celebrating Siddaramaiah’s birthday was proposed. With Rahul watching, the two Congress leaders – who are seen to be in the race for the CM post should the Congress win the polls in 2023 – hugged each other and dismissed talk of differences between them. Shivakumar had stated that the party does not believe in worshiping individuals but changed his position after central leaders such as Rahul and general secretary K C Venugopal backed Siddaramaiah’s birthday celebrations .
