    BJP wins hands down not only in Karnataka but across India The BJP has passively allowed corruption to flourish and so corruption is rampant across the country as there is no accountability for corruption in india under the BJP rule.

    All are making hay while the lotus blooms. God save our country.

    Banks are being looted by businessmen. Corruption is flourising across India under the BJP.
