Vinasha kaale vipareeta buddi......
These uncultured porkis make their earnings through wrong doings for petty cash and liquor thrown by people from kalladka and pumpwell
These porkis are not doing in love with their community or to protect hindu sisters, when so many of them are being exploited sexually daily by their own brothers.
They have only hatred towards Muslims Christians and Dalits. Bcos they envy empowerment of minorites and backward class
What about their girls sharing their rooms in gulf country.
Ref: Viren......we have KFD Bros...still you taste of KFD
He has to convert her first and only then he can marry her....
Bus conductor and Madikeri depot personnel didn't act as per law. Under such circumstances, bus is required to be diverted to nearby police station in the interest of bus and safety of passengers. Conductor didn't consider safety of passengers and property over reaching destination.
Wondering what kind of training the KSRTC management gives to conductors and drivers. Government and KSRTC should think of it.
send them to LOC
Book these anti social and anti national terrorists under goonda act and put them behind bars for not less than 10 years. This is due to the hate speech by hate nmonger Kalla bhatta. He should be arrested and banned from all activities. Let him be a dummy in his home. Dont let him participate in any activity.
