State of Karnataka
by R on Oct 04, 2006 06:14 PM   Permalink

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!!!
