    Why PM is so desperate that he is almost here in the state everyday. Is it because, Karnataka as Amit Shah said is the ATM and BJP wants to exploit it fully. PM should be concerned about the country and stay in Delhi working for all the people rather than working for BJP candidates. He did this in West Bengal, Himachal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu etc., and the people kicked him out, never to return.

    This dual team of Chaiwala and Motu Bhai are visiting Karnataka with the intention of almost settled communal harmony in the state. The aim of their visit has been to divide people on religious grounds and garner votes. PM is supposed to take all people along in hi capacity but the reality is opposite to that requirement.

    Agreed! When almost all pre-poll surveys are showing congress in quite comfortable position , then who is the person in congress made such a huge blunder of bringing in such an unwanted issue which is compelling congress go to backfoot. Now it looks it will be quite difficult for congress to come out off this mess created by them . The issue could have been taken after the election. This is a unique example of self goal because the issue is spreading to other states also.

    My friends I feel proud when majority of readers agree with my point of view ! Ther should be justice in the society. People are voting to benefit from the party leaders and not to watch dirty politics and the communal leaders carry on their agenda only with aim of winning the election for personal gain. Not only collect taxes and misuse fund for election canvasing hording black money and promoting terrorism as per their whim and fancies! criminal waste of public money and promoting draconian acts and rules.
