SC Rap on TN Guv Boosts K’taka Cong Hopes for Bill Approval
The recent Supreme Court rap on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi has sent a wave of hope across the Karnataka Congress, which is waiting for the Governor’s assent on two crucial bills passed by the state Assembly in March. The Karnataka Assembly had approved the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill and the Karnataka Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments (KTTP) Bill, but they are still awaiting the Governor’s signature.
The SC’s decision to reprimand R.N. Ravi for his reluctance to act according to the policies of the Tamil Nadu government has given a new lease of life to the Congress in Karnataka. The party believes that if the SC can hold the Tamil Nadu Governor accountable, it can also do the same with Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot.
In March, the Karnataka Assembly passed the GBG and KTTP Bills, which were tabled by the Congress-led government. The bills aim to simplify the tax structure and provide relief to the common man. However, they are yet to receive the Governor’s assent, with the Congress accusing the Governor of stalling the bills.
The SC’s rap on R.N. Ravi has given a boost to the Congress’s confidence in Karnataka. The party believes that the SC’s decision sets a precedent and will ensure that the Governor in Karnataka is also held accountable. “The SC’s decision is a victory for democracy and the principles of federalism. We hope that the Governor in Karnataka will take note of this and act accordingly,” said a senior Congress leader.
The Congress has been vocal about its displeasure over the Governor’s reluctance to sign the bills. The party has accused the Governor of trying to sabotage the government’s efforts to bring in reforms and provide relief to the people. “The Governor’s inaction is not only unconstitutional but also an attempt to undermine the democratic process. We hope that the SC’s decision will put an end to this undemocratic behavior,” said another Congress leader.
The opposition BJP, on the other hand, has been quick to defend the Governor. “The Governor has the right to examine the bills and ensure that they are in the best interest of the state. We cannot have the Governor being dictated by the SC or any other external agency,” said a BJP spokesperson.
However, the Congress is not deterred by the opposition’s response. The party believes that its cause is just and that the SC’s decision has given it a strong moral high ground. “We are confident that the Governor will soon give his assent to the bills. The people of Karnataka are eagerly waiting for the relief that these bills will bring,” said a senior Congress leader.
The SC’s decision has also given a new lease of life to the Congress in Karnataka, which has been struggling to gain traction in the state. The party believes that the SC’s rap on the Governor will help it win back the confidence of the people and prepare it for the upcoming elections.
In conclusion, the SC’s rap on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi has given a boost to the Congress in Karnataka, which is waiting for the Governor’s assent on two crucial bills passed by the state Assembly. The party believes that the SC’s decision will ensure that the Governor in Karnataka is also held accountable and will give its assent to the bills soon.
