Yes you are quite correct

Welcome to Udupi. Please contest from Udupi in next Lok Sabha polls. We are fed up with Karandlaje who knows nothing but counting dead bodies of Hindus.

Leader of a party which is almost about to be completely eliminated from India breaking protocol and mingling with kids is not an issue. Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi, who is facing Pakistanis and their supporters in India also broke protocols many times to mingle with people, especially kids and farmers.

Love you rahul Gandhiji... You are the best... the best politician of the time. PM chair is waiting for you. Only one more year to go!
