We donot know where Karnataka is going to end up. Why don't we have who can really think and work for Karnataka and keep aside these DG and his henchmen including his family having a wonderful background for all possible swindling the scarce resources of Karnataka.
All these Bundh and other such nefarious activities are the creation of these political stooges to divert the attention of the people .
Unless people sit tight and fight against this anti state elements, I fear, there will not be an end to such Bundh's which creates loss to the state in hundreds of crores. Ofcourse, DG and family are least bothered about the loss to the state for already they have enough resources from the state.
How much of a difference would redrawing the state boundaries make on the people living there? The rains would still fall only with the blessing of nature, so will the rays of the sun and the gentle breeze.
When some other states observes bundh everyone takes it their strides. But when Karnataka observes bundh that too for a genuine reason everyone tries to raise their illegitimate voice. Its high time karnataka start raising their voice. Maharashtra's claim is illegitimate and unreasonable. Going by the language if one goes to sholapur and other areas in maharashara majority of them speak kannada still we are keeping quiet and not raising voice like unassertive maharashtra.
By calling the Bandh, Kannadigas have put no pressure on the Centre, instead they have earned another bad name for the state and its thriving industries. Looking at it from an outsider's perspective, all I can say is by calling a bandh, the state has lost hundreds of crores of rupees in terms of lost man hours. Why are we so hung up on political issues? Why has no group called a bandh because the state government sucks big time. How come no one protests when news came that Devagowda owns acres and acres of land in Bangalore. How come no one is concerned that we cannot forever ride on the IT industry simply because things were good in the past. Continue with apathy and we will end up losing all industries from the state. Then we can all sit and protest on our misfortune!!! It is sad that not one of our political leaders care for the genuine concerns of the state. And dancing on the signals of such incompetent fools are even worse groups that call bandhs and strikes at their whims and fancies. I am a patriot alright, but I just cannot see any justification in what this bandh seems to have achieved except losses to the state.Jai Karnataka!!!
One more PROOF for the stupid politics in India. Spoiling the economy and disturbing the public. Both Maharastra and Karnataka politics affecting the nation...

Before calling somebody stupid try and guage yourself. Go to any other state they dont allow other language channels except for one or two even on the normal days. Why you raise your voice only against this. Infact we allow all other languages freely in karnataka. Go to anyother state you cannot survive there without knowing the local language.
I feel your act is height of stupidity since its outrageous.

Mr. Mishra, What's wrong if the cable operators are showing solidarity for a kannada cause. It's a peaceful way of protest. Can't you forego watching TV for one day? As for the rift that you talk of between locals and non-locals, it's the duty of the outsiders to adjust to the way of life in Karnataka, not the other way round. After all you get the best treatment here. Try acting smart in Chennai. Kannadigas are known to be very soft and gentle people. If adjusting to local culture is such a big problem for you then go back to your UP or Bihar.
