Hey chaddi terrorist, stop spreading your chaddi cancer disease to karnataka state
We the Indians should be celebrating that axxxxxxes farewell to his permanent hell hole where delicious pork are cooked and served by 72 angels plus hoards of his harem collection.
Others say that Yediurappa earned a goodwill among the masses for celebrating Tipu Jayanthi when he was CM & same with Deve Gawda. These politicians change their stances to suit them. Tamil Nadu should celebrate rather Jayanti of Veerappan who was a true Tamlian nationalist. After kidnapping actor Rajkumar, veerappan demanded everything favoring TN. At that Time CM SM Krishna had almost agreed to Veerappans demands. Tipu will remain well addressed in the history for the good work done in Restoring temples & serving his subjects. Feku will be remembered in history for his expertise in riots.
This sidramya is proving himself as Pedramiah - He is suffering from the symptoms of political-termination !
@Sangeeth and all other cheddis... Why you people wants to create problems... If you are not interested then keep calm. Let them celebrate
