Monkey came for mangalore to go kerala...publick is stuppid.
After bringing Yogi to Kerala through Mangalore , BJP had lost their prospect in both states. the man with lot of criminal cases on his head has come to teach the law and order. People will start to compare their state with yogis ruled state. People want their children not to die due to lack of oxygen, People dont want to loose their monumental identities, People want to live in love and peace. they dont want price rice. and many more. By bringing this uneducated man to educated stateS BJP itself will realize their mistake
Why these days communal gundas visiting our manglore? Is there any conspiracy to disturb the peace in dakishin kannada?? May god save our DK.
Just wasting tax payers money only one intention to spread communal unrest all over INDIA. But state like Kerala with 100% educated Malayaly nothng will happen. Even rss's heavy funding to noted goondas they cannot make a Hair Line Fracture to Kerala State. At Punjab, Bengal and Kerala rss notable to cook their dish DHAAL NAHI GHALAGHI.
Amit Shah's Drama in front of temple never accepted by any HINDU Diety.
