Saffron flag controversy is gaining ground Aage Kua Piche Khayi
11:39 AM Posted by ukmad
The issue was deliberately raked up to project the BJP as “anti-Karnataka” during election time.The KRV ransacked the official chamber of Sanjay Patil, Bharatiya Janata Party MLA, which is housed in Belgaum taluk panchayat office here on Tuesday.
On the other side another faction of the KRV attacked the office Suresh Angadi which is situated in the Cada office.
The KRV is demanding the withdrawal of the nomination of Angadi for the elections as they are supporting the hoisting of the saffron flag.
In another development on the same issue the District administration submitted its report to the chief election officer of the state on the roles played by the MP and MLA in the protest done by MES, however no notice of violation of code of conduct has been issued.
Its worst times for BJP now, “Aage Kua Piche Khayi”. If the Angadi supports the MES on the issue he can be in the race to get some Marathi votes, otherwise which is not very likely this time. People say, these politicians come when they want votes and this a just another example to it. The KRV is against Angadi’s support to MES saffron flag, so they are asking people not to vote for him. So where does the MP go “Aage Kua Piche Khayi”.
This time the Belgaum loksabha election could give some surprises, still the other candidate lists are not out so we just have to imagine but, for these years the Marathi-Kannada issue was never a issue of great importance during the Loksabha elections. Yes, for the assembly elections it is the only issue.
There has been no much disturbance after the delimitation of the constituencies. Belgaum Loksabha seat is made up of Arabhavi, Gokak, Belgaum Uttar, Belgaum Dakshin, Belgaum Rural, Bailhongal, Saundatti Yellamma and Ramdurg.
So be glued to the election fever the congress candidate names should be out in a day or two and other names also as the nomination process starts in the last week of March.

On the new corporation, building the national flag was hoisted not on the building but in the premises of the building. On the old building, it was atop the building.
This is violationof the Flag code and a cognizable offence. However, the Police have not done anything in this matter.

The High Court yesterday said that the Mayoral poll for Belgaum have to be held on March 30, it was in reply to a petition filed in the High court against the postponement done by the current mayor.
Saffron Flag comes down for the last time
12:08 PM Posted by ukmad
The Saffron flag atop the old Belgaum city corporation (BCC) building came down for the last time never to be hoisted again.
From today the BCC will function from the new premises near the SP office. Only the national flag will be hoisted there.
So form today all the work from birth, death certificates to building permissions and property extract you will need to go to the new premises near the SP office.
There is no direct city bus to the new premises, citizens will have to get down at Kolhapur Cross or RTO circle and walk all the way to the corporation office.
At the moment there are not many shops like photocopying there but with time all will come up there.
Today there is the hearing of the Case field by corporator on the Mayor and the other officials in regards to the postponement of the Mayoral poll.

The MES will launch a protest against the same they said. The DC rejected the MES delegation plea stating that the High Court has directed that only the tri colour could flutter on the building. The flag will be hoisted or no will only come to know on 16th.

History of the Saffron Flag:
This flag hullabaloo dates back to July 3, 1958 when the Belgaum City Municipality (became a corporation in 1982) passed a resolution proposed by K SDeshpande and which was supported by Javalkar and Kudachikar, which stated that a Saffron colored flag be hoisted along with the National flag atop the Municipal building.
The government never cancelled that 1958 resolution so it was deemed as accepted. Unless there is a consensus, the saffron flag cannot be removed, it was said.
