Let us be careful in using words. Not in a patronising tone, but most Indians don't understand the difference between country, nation, union, federalism, and the like. More to do with our schooling. KA should seek for more political and fiscal autonomy being part of the union.
Appealing to Marathas, Konkanis of Belagavi n migrants of rest of karanataka to vote for BJP n punish kannadigas ? How dare he ask non-kannadigas in karnataka to punish kannadigas ?
Wtf is this? He’s said this in belagavi, Karnataka and referred to kannadigas in third person! was he trying to instigate the Marathis there against Karnataka? Third rate politics! Kannada sanghis were fuming at certificates what will they do with the PAAPI certificate?
Mass immigration contributes to low birth rates and accelerates replacement by making things too expensive for the natives to have children. I don’t think economics explains most of the birth rate collapse. But certainly if you cannot afford a house because immigration drives up…
Belagavi is a low hanging fruit for the Marathis. It gives them a false sense of bravado. Delhi and its proxies take it is an advantage to play third umpire. KA and MH share many similar issues on the demographic and the economic front. We should work on our broader interests.
It is not just a slip of the tongue, BJP - RSS top brass to foot soldiers everyone is aware of regional and linguistic faultlines. Bringing it up everytime is a feature not a bug.
MSRN Once Karnataka becomes bipolar, both RSS & Congress will not allow any regional party to come up. At any cost, do not allow the JDS to die. This whole issue now appears to be a supari to finish off JDS once and for all. Kannadigas need JDS. Save it any cost.
Kannadigas need JDS. HDK & his son may not need it. They may not mind merging with the RSS. Possibly Revanna would have resisted merging with the RSS. So he possibly is being forced out through this scandal. Looks deep & fishy. What happened to Alagiri in DMK?
In a way it is good that JDS goes into oblivion. It will give rise to new native political parties. The new parties will be much more cautious to take Kannadigas for granted.
