Unempolyment and farmer death are the issues gifted on us by the central BJP government from demonitisation and GST. Now our PM friends Donald trumps administration also accepted that due to this two isssues Indias growth has been slow for more then a year now.
Unemployment of whom ? Siddaramaiah claims 15 lakhs jobs have been created but has yedduyurappa the guts to ask how many native Kannadigas got the job ?
Regarding cauvery why he did not even open his mouth on SC judgment .
Was there a gag order from Delhi high command. He did not have guts to even welcome the judgment. Probably he knows it was outright injustice to Karnataka but he is helpless and is concerned about his career ! Of course Cong & JD-S also did not have the guts.
Regarding atrocities on women nothing prevents Modi govt. making stringent laws and Karnataka will definitely welcome it. But Modi is too busy with "Man ki bath " , Foreign tours. All he knows is vandemataram & Yoga and of course mudslinging on congress which anyway it rightly deserves.
So native Kannadigas reject the three parties BJP, Cong & Jd-S and
and bring a Kannada party to power or follow the crowd like fools
and dig your own grave. Ignore all the posts of migrants & traitors .
No Unemployment and Farmers suicide in BJP ruled states.
infants,Mothers,Women,Girls, Pregnant women are being Raped, burnt and killed alive. and you are talking about women safety.
Protection of wives is also a key issue.
You said truth but a small correction needed. These are the key issues to highlight only for election..
