Bengaluru, Jan 17: A dawn-to-dusk Karnataka bandh called by pro-Kannada outfits on January 25 to press for the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Mahadayi river water sharing row between the state and neighbouring Goa is likely to throw normal life out of gear in many parts of the state.

Several pro-Kannada organisations on Wednesday extended their support to the Karnataka bandh.

Speaking to reporters, Vatal Nagaraj of Kannada Okkuta said all Kannada organisations, the Kannada filmdom, hotel owners and educational institutions should support the bundh. Goa Irrigation Minister Vinod Palyekar should apologise for his derogatory comments against Kannadigas, he added.

Nagaraj claimed that about 2,000 pro-Kannada outfits backed the bandh call. He said the organisations had decided to speak to government officers and employees, lorry owners, fuel service stations, education institutions and appeal to them to cooperate in ensuring that the bandh is a success.

What is this bandh for? It is really foolish to distrupt the daily chores of public life, just because somone in another state made a foolish statement. Just imagine the losses to business and the state economy! If we want to punish Goa, then force them to stop their business for one day! It is foolish that we have to bear their curse and also lose our business.
