Dont link Gujjars and farmers in karnataka. Gujjars are asking for ST status as they want to remain backward forever. This has nothing to do with farmers demanding fertilizer in karnataka. Adding fuel to the fire are the Gowda family and the CONgress, just to embarass BJP govt. Firing is ordered by the DC or the SP, this has nothing to do with the home ministry.

The Gujjar and farmers agitatin are intrinically linked.
1. In both cases, BJP made promises with intention never to implement them. In Rajasthan, they promised Gujjars ST status. In Karnataka they fooled voters that they were a farmer's party going to the extent of swearing by their name in taking oath!
2. The Gujjar agitation has blocked road traffic. Fertilizers come from Gujarat port is blocked.
3. Both BJP governments in Rajasthan & karnataka are guilty of mishandling the problem - shooting at protestors. Shows the anti-people character of the BJP
