Bengaluru: 'Won't you learn Kannada?' - Siddaramaiah taunts Amit Shah


Bengaluru, Nov 21(DHNS): Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday took to Twitter to ask BJP National President Amit Shah if the latter isn't interested in learning the Kannada language also.

The taunt comes in the wake of media reports that Shah is learning Tamil and Bengali languages to strengthen the party's presence in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.

Shah has also started to learn Assamese and Manipuri to engage in conversations in those languages.

"Kannada kaliyodilva Amit Shah avare? Won't you learn Kannada?" read Siddaramaiah's tweet.

    He is probably getting training (disguised as learning) so that he can work as a translator once he loses his job after BJP loses the next elections.

    Mr. Shah. What is the problem in learning kannada.. do u think u ll get vote in bengal or TN if u learn tamil or bengali.though u learn or not u ll not get single seat in that States.why are you wasting ur time and energy on that . Better lean kannada atleast u can expect some more seats in karnataka for sure.

    Mone Dinesha, Kannada, Tulu, Konkani & Byari languages are like diamonds on crown of Karnataka. If you don't care for Kannada, true Kannadigas are proud of Kannada and we value it as our 'Jeeva Naadi'.

    Ayyo dineshanna,Enchinaye?
    Nimage history gotthilva.Check your facts.Tuluva Kings used to write tulu in Kannada script(not Malayalam or Tamil).This itself is enough that all tulu ,byari,konkani is like children of Kannada.Kannada is a mother.Respect her.Period!!

    I bet you,there is no other city in India makes migrant comfortable than Bengaluru .This shows the people over there(gowdas)are most humble,grateful,compromising.
    Recent years they started making kannadisation,and why not make it?Its our right.When we face too many migrants ,humans naturally develop insecurity.
    Imagine in mangaluru if too many bangalis,biharis,north Indians doing too good dominating business.We will feel the heat.But we are lucky we have our own people pai &pai,shetty's ,bawas,pintos.Not yadavs,lalus,kapoors.I bet mangaluru will not tolerate as our capital.So love this language and be proud you are in most tolerant state.

    Jai Karnataka

    Bangalore full of tamil majority and they don't know Kannada and don't care Kannada ..still you are in deep sleep and make politics for nothing..get up from deep sleep
    I am a Kannadiga, Kannada is my mother tongue and proud to be an Indian and my love for national language Hindi is also at par to Kannada....Hindi is like international language but Kannada only works in north Karnataka so Hindi is must for all Indians......Dear Siddaramaih, don't taunt Amit Shah you are nothing in front of National Hero AS

    Many non-Kannadigas in Gulf countries, especially Telugus and Mallus, proudly say that they have settled in Bangalore but they don’t even know a word in Kannada. These people are already dominating in the city. Will Sidhumaiah teach them Kannada?

    As BJP president he is doing his job, and learning another language including Kannada (which he may) is a good thing.
