BENGALURU: The ruling Congress lately wondered the BJP's "silence" on the proposed legit state flag for Karnataka, an afternoon after it was once unveiled through Chief Minister Siddaramaiah forward of the assembly polls.
It also asked whether BJP MPs, together with the state celebration leader B S Yeddyurappa, will put pressure on the Centre in getting essential acclaim for the flag.
"Lacking in #KannadaSwabhimana, @BJP4Karnataka maintains pindrop silence on #KarnatakaStateFlag," the Congress' Karnataka unit stated in a tweet.
"Will BJP MPs & Shri Yeddyurappa put pressure on the Union BJP Government to quickly grant the necessary approvals?," it asked.
The 'Naada Dwaja' (state's flag) in hues of yellow, white and red, has the state's brand 'Gandaberunda' or the two-headed mythological bird that was once also the royal insignia of the erstwhile Mysuru kingdom, at its centre.
In the tricolour flag, yellow represents wealth and celebration, white represents peace and balance, and red represents valour and satisfaction.
Calling the state flag a "sign of Kannadiga pride", Siddaramaiah had the day gone by stated it could be sent to the central executive for approval.
A committee shaped through the state executive ultimate yr had really useful the separate flag for Karnataka, discounting any constitutional or prison hurdles for it.
Yeddyurappa has stated his celebration was once not antagonistic to a separate state flag, but had flayed Siddaramaiah's "unilateral decision" to shape a panel on the factor with out consulting the opposition leaders.
BJP had earlier accused Siddaramaiah of politicising the problem forward of assembly polls in the state, due in April/May.
The executive's transfer to shape the panel had also drawn complaint from some quarters, with some evaluating it to Jammu & Kashmir, which enjoys a special standing beneath Article 370 of the Constitution.
