Mr. Mukherjee stop this nonsense. You are not kannadiga you dont know anything about kranataka
You say BJP is confined to Mumbai karntaka Region that is nonsense. BJP first set foot in karnataka in coastal and Malnad region. In 1991 BJP first won in mangalore , coastal karnataka it is winning since then. Udupi it won twice. It has strong base in malnad region it is not Mumbai Krantaka. The onely region it is weak is in the districts of Mandya and Chitradurga and Hassan.else where it is strong and can give congress run for its money.
Bangarappa's atrength is overestimated.Last time his nominee was defeated in his own citadel Sorab. It is similar to Arjun singh contest from Hoshangabad and loosing in 1998. Bangarappa will also meet the same fate. For karntaka's sake this should be his last election.
You talk about secular parties. Can you tell me how Congress, JD(s) and SP are secular? Congress has tainted its hand in 1984 anti sikh riots. JD(s) is father son party. SP is pro muslim organization far worser than simi.
