Bengaluru: Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti has penned an advisory letter to CM Siddaramaiah and cabinet ministers, urging them to discourage organizations from staging protests during the upcoming Belagavi Assembly session. The 10-day winter session is scheduled from December 4, 2023, to December 15, 2023, at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha. In anticipation of potential disruptions, Siddaramaiah dispatched letters to Agriculture Minister N. Chaluvarayaswamy, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, and Education Minister S. Madhu Bangarappa.
Concerns have been raised about valuable session time being wasted due to protests, satyagraha, and sit-ins. The chairman emphasized the need for a systematic and meaningful conduct of the session in Suvarna Vidhana Soudha, Belagavi. It is customary for various organizations to stage dharnas and satyagrahas during sessions, demanding fulfillment of diverse demands spanning agriculture, school education, literacy, revenue, and other departments.
Horatti proposed convening a pre-session meeting with leaders of concerned organizations to discuss their demands in detail. He urged the ministers to engage in fruitful dialogue and attempt to address the raised issues. Horatti requested his cabinet colleagues to approach organization leaders, persuading them not to stage sit-in satyagrahas outside Suvarna Vidhan Soudha during the session. He stressed the importance of considering the matters seriously and finding constructive solutions.
Furthermore, Horatti suggested that if resolutions are reached during the session in North Karnataka, it would enhance the government’s reputation and goodwill. He concluded by appealing for a collaborative effort to ensure a productive and respectful session at Suvarna Vidhana Soudha.
