    Any so called desh bahkts visit the house??? wait a minute !!! Those who died are hindus but they died due to consuming mushrooms. If they got murdered then so called deshbahkts would have visited the house and blamed the other community. They would have ask govt for NIA investigation and also lakhs of rupees as compensation. But sadly these died people are poor. So we cannot expect any politics here. Sadly Hindu khatre me hai. Lekin kisse ??? wake up people.

    Majority of the utterly poor subsist on roots, mushrooms, berries, firewood/twigs etc picked from the forests; who is bothered about them unless they are useful for vote banks or other political mileage; this is the ground reality of a 5 trillion dollars economy!!!

    Mushrooms and other traditional drinks during AATI in Tulu Nadu should be given the education to identify the right one!!! to save the people who always land in wrong findings. How about those right wings of BJPeeee where they are now? only voting time or communal riots activate their existence
