Why Karnataka’s tableaux design proposals for Republic Day parade in New Delhi been rejected?
Tableaux politics is back! After Punjab, West Bengal, and delhi, now it’s Karnataka’s tableaux design proposals for the Republic Day parade in New delhi that have been rejected. The issue has taken a political tone with karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah alleging that the “Central government is constantly attacking Kannadigas with political malice”.
Siddaramaiah called it an insult meted out by the Centre to seven crore Kannadigas by denying the opportunity for the state’s tableaux to be included in the Republic Day parade. Siddaramaiah tweeted about how the BJP-led central government had initially rejected Karnataka’s tableaux last year. “They later permitted keeping karnataka elections in mind. This time, the central government has again continued its trend of insulting Kannadigas,” the cm said in his statement. According to the karnataka government, several tableau proposals were sent from the state to the committee in charge of selection, but all the proposals were rejected.
After approval, participants present a three-dimensional model to the panel, which undergoes expert scrutiny for the final selection. Only shortlisted candidates proceed to the next round. The proposed design or sketch is expected to be clear, straightforward, lively, easily comprehensible, and devoid of statistical data and superfluous details. The ministry issues guidelines highlighting the importance of incorporating eco-friendly materials and technology. Logos are restricted; only the state/UT’s name, which can be in hindi on the front, english on the back, and in the regional language on the sides is allowed.
