    According to you Karnataka means Bangalore . There is no place other than Bangalore to set up a Factory. When you are going to develop tier 2 and 3cities. All the politicians have real estate business in Bangalore. This is the reason why they are concentrated around Bangalore. Why cant you create this employment opportunity in other part of Karnataka

    (Under visionary leadership -- again undue praise heaped -- Supine Karnataka leadership---- always kow towing -- every sentence ends with -- under -- so and so -- Modi leadership etc. etc. --)-- Fact of the matter is for many companies - -Involved in global supply chains -- MULTINATIONALS --after COVID -- strict lock downs by China -- they are cutting risk exposure. --on - supply chain-- And total dependence on CHINA -- apart from ongoing Trade wars -- USA __ CHINA -- Chip mfr etc. etc. -- BUT --, we in India cannot assume. all shift from China will happen by default to India-- Vietnam -- Bangladesh -- Mexico -- many countries are also getting. offshore business -- So, corruption in INDIA -- lazy laid-back approach -- poor road infrastructure -- skilled labour -- education -- are some of the impediments. to get Lions share -- employment and employability are some of the major concerns -- We also need labor intensive jobs rather than automation -- to feed / employ our vast population. --

    Feku Rank Holder PM Modi taught 2nd Rank Holder CM Bommai how to fake about 1,00,000. jobs during election. Once the election is over this number will automatically change to 1,000 jobs and they will tell that was a mistake before election, corrected after election. Both have done PHD in Fekuing.

    Apple phones .. most of it automated. Assembly lines .... it will take 10 years to reach .. one lakh ... optimum .. If we want to replace China for Apple products .. very many issues ..... yet we have a golden opportunity to do labour intensive which can provide jobs .. not automated assembly..
