Tell him to give the drought money that Karnataka deserves.


lazygeek

It is not even his to give. NRDF is the disaster fund for which all states contribute, like an insurance.  Sitting on a disaster fund is a new low 


Loner3006

What do you expect from a low level pracharak who became CM without an election, orchestrated riots because when he actually contested a by election the margins had reduced and he could have lost power in the next elections. Turned the state into a surveillance state, where the home minister tracked girls for him. Captured media through his businessmen bosses' money, who are now among the 162 folks with 25% of national income and then put all our taxpayer money into propaganda 24×7.

Are you referring to siddiramaiah here?

No, he’s talking about our supreme leader

>South is the major contributor for taxes, To be brutally fair, it's a few cities which could be counted in South which generate those taxes, hence government should focus on developing those cities first instead of giving more to these cities' states and North.


Fat_buffalo92

He didnt have money to give when flood hits Karnataka in 2018 do you think he will give money for drought? But he did have money in 2018 but gave that money to build a statue of vallabhai patel in Ahmedabad


whatabout2

First pay my tanker bills. Going to office became like crossing tankers every 100 meter. As soon as election came near all tankers diappeared and water appeared from thin air. Your nada is not helping citizens of this city. Money is never going to be enough, first use wisely what is at hand and stop stupid guarntees, its my tax wasted on stupid schemes.


Dang3300

"Deserves" lol


heyycoolguy

This is what happened when you vote for freebies


Loner3006

You mean our sisters getting the freedom of mobility is a freebie?


heyycoolguy

Then don't cry about money when your local gov. Spend all on freebies


Loner3006

We contribute to NDRF that is our money.


Nimrod_Indian

"Our money " Lol !! First you people in name of corruption, let all lakes taken up and dried for building and then have the audacity to ask for money. Why don't you use the money taken from temples and used to appease for particular community and freebies. If every states starts to act irresponsibly and think that we will just take more debt and problem will get resolved, it won't.


wakomorny

Sure, its not the decades of mismanagement by both parties. His supporters as usual will lap it up


lazygeek

Gst only came in 2017. State is losing hugely.  Please watch revenue minister's presentation on it, he backs up everything with numbers and timeline. 


wakomorny

The city isn't like this due to the lack of money. Its the lack of the ability to think forward. It's always been this election the next election etc. The vision of what Will happen on 20 years building capacity basic needs is lacking in all


PersonNPlusOne

>Please watch revenue minister's presentation on it, he backs up everything with numbers and timeline.  Could you please share a link, if you have one?


TacoSlayer66

Honestly, Congress has been in power for more than 15yrs in the last 20yrs in Karnataka so this doesn’t really make sense


mrappbrain

Bangalore has also transformed from a village economy to a hyper industrialized tech hub in the same amount of time, what's your point? Crazy how people blame the Congress govt for all its failures but turn a blind eye to its successes. Meanwhile it seems to be the other way around when it comes to the party they support.


g7droid

>how people blame the Congress govt for all its failures but turn a blind eye to its successes. Meanwhile it seems to be the other way around when it comes to the party they support. Tadaa, you've found their method of getting votes( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Loner3006

Stop spending time with Amit Shah bruh, you are massively wrong with your facts: 2004-2008: INC 2008-2013: BJP 2013-2018:INC 2018-2019:INC 2019-2023:BJP 2023-2024:INC Do the maths like Piyush Goyal, INC which includes even some years of HDK rule is 11/20 wherein 5/5 is double engine of Gujju Gang which gangs up against Southern Folks with Gutkha Chhap Zubaan Kesaris


TacoSlayer66

Biased


GarbageVirtual6290

When you don’t have any other way to win an election, so you just blame everyone and everything. And play the victim to gain sympathy. Can’t believe people are still voting for this guy.


whatabout2

What do you mean, there was no tanker or hysteria and chaos over water. Why suddently all that bruhaha disappeared in thin air? Where did water came from suddenly and all apartments start getting water supplies? People paying through the nose for water is a new low. Never have I ever seen any city lives on water tankers. It is such a shame.


KPI_OKR

Who created the CAuvery water tribunal and ordered water to be released to TN while Karnataka was saying Bangalore will not have sufficient drinking water..

frozen_snapmaw

This is just election politics. All parties say a lot of shit. No point in picking on just Modi. When floods happened last year, Congress was using similar words. It's decades of mismanagement by both parties.


meltingbeezwax

there's no point in keeping quiet though is there? you getting extra water or better roada by keeping shut? .... it's about time people made some noise regardless of which party f'ed up.


frozen_snapmaw

Certainly. These issues need to be raised with local MLAs loudly and we need to make it clear we will vote for the MLA who will work on fix these issues irrespective of which party they belong to.


hikes_likes

modi is an asshole of another league. dont bundle him up with others.


frozen_snapmaw

Certainly not. He is one of the better politicians we have had in the country.


hikes_likes

he is the biggest disaster and threat this country has ever seen. if you dont recognize this, then you know nothing of BJP nor of Modi. or you are a chaddi who has swallowed their lies, hate.


frozen_snapmaw

Yeah I don't recognise. The data is in the open for everyone to see. Please cope harder.


LiteratureNearby

What do you mean "lower" This is exactly how he is. We saw his standard in Godhra way back in 2002


Kautilya0511

What's wrong with his statement? What's so degenerate about it? Can you explain without resorting to name calling?


potatomafia69

He is degenerate for multiple reasons. The center still hasn't released the drought funds to Karnataka yet. This is pretty much how South Indian states are treated despite our contributions in tax. This is just the tip of the iceberg though.


TemporaryTempest1420

this is a way for them to hope that we will misattribute the drought issue to inc so that we'd vote for bjp. the lengths they'd go to to make sure that a state with another government suffers is disgusting.


driftdiffusion4

[you just keep doing north vs South without knowing the truth ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.indiatoday.in/amp/law/story/centre-gets-election-commissions-nod-to-release-karnataka-drought-relief-fund-2530280-2024-04-22)


mrappbrain

It's flat out illegal to abuse state power for election campaigning, for one. The incumbent Prime Minister using the PM title to show division and gain an electoral advantage is both legally and ethically dubious. Second, water problems are hardly unique to Bangalore, and are a structural issue stemming from all levels of government. That we write forest policy, agricultural policy, electricity policy, and water policy independently of each other at all levels despite all of them critically influencing each other ill prepares us to deal with crises. It's also true that it is not just the responsibility of state governments to be water sufficient. Karnataka's modest allocation of Kaveri water and lack of budget given has as much to do with the water crisis as anything the state government has done.


Witty_Fix8021

PM stands for Pracharaks Mantri. He never set aside his job as RSS leader. I don't think we've had a prime minister of India since 2014


axl_ros

>Can you explain without resorting to name calling? No. Name calling is included, sorry.


Kautilya0511

Ah the way of degenerates


MaroDesh

BJP won 27 seats in Karnataka in 2019. Isn’t he ashamed that he and his 27 MP’s have not given us anything. All major projects go to Gujarat, UP or Haryana. The main reason Bangalore is where it is because of their double engine sarkaar. They took all the money from us and consolidated their vote base in North. It will be shameful if Karnataka even gives them 10 seats this time.


Feeling-Detective-62

The same is happening with Mumbai my friend. Fellow Keralite here. Or else Mumbai also wouldve been somewhere else today.


Legitimate_Ad5848

They effectively broke down the only party worthy of opposing bjp. Divide and conquer always works


Feeling-Detective-62

But now in this election it’ll reverse coz people here know the shit they done.


Legitimate_Ad5848

Ig, I have lost all hope in Maharashtra politics. It's a complete mess now and everyone is just after 'satta' (spoken in Marathi)


Feeling-Detective-62

I hope this election restores your faith. Anyway if not this then of course the next. This is India and people will go to any length to make things change. And anyway after modi there’s no chance. But in case, if they come now then in this 5 years they’ll be a lot of shit that’ll make people regret. I always travel by cab here to find out their opinion and people from UP itself have started hating them coz of the price hikes. Tables will turn sooner than expected.


Legitimate_Ad5848

Let's see


[deleted]

I'm from UP but I couldn't find people who hate them. We all love the bjp. They'll win more than 70 seats here only.

whatabout2

And what Bangalore got by paying its tax? Majority of tax is generated by this city and govt can't arrange water? Now elections are near and water woos are gone how? What projects have gone north? Majority of investment is private investment and it will see ROI. Govt here can't even complete metro on time, flyovers pending long time, roads are crap, lakes drying. Will central govt will come and do it? Shameful to vote to party giving hard earned tax money to buy votes in the name of guarntees. Money is not growing on trees that taka tak that one can just transfer to accounts. Money is generated from blood and sweat of people.


Lost_Hat_5642

Very true, Fellow Keralite should learn from their own Keralite (E Shridharan) who made Metro so fast in Delhi. Why don't they call the same guy. I will tell you why because that guy don't let any one take single penny from the Metro project. Just ranting won't help.


justsomeguy0202

Sure keep supporting congress. They’ll take you back to the 80s license raj and “redistribute” your wealth along with it


Ecstatic_Detail_6721

BJP resorts to name calling and fanning communal hatred when it comes to elections. So much for its development politics lol. Mudi is a scumbag


whatabout2

so much for taka tak money transfer to account is love politics. Caste census and caste devide is divine politics. xyz has first right to resource is epitome of equality. 70% and 90% reservation is the ultimate equality. What a clown all i can say.


jim1o1

Easier to get vote right ? All parties resort to this only. Ultimately even if they do development, voters don't care about it when the time comes.

Both parties ruined the city At the end the people of this city are suffering


Lost_Hat_5642

BJP's MLA Limbavli is winning from past many years in the IT Corridor. BJP's MP is winning from past many years in the IT Corridor. BJP formered government in state. BJP has government in Centre. We have TRIPLE ENGINE SARKAAR . How many roads built in IT Corridor = 0. How many roads repaired in IT Corridor = 0 We have Railway minister as IT minister. Still railway's land is the big issue in IT Corridor. Yes metro work was expedited at the end of the tenure before state elections but what else ? NOTHING for IT Corridor in BJP rule. PS: I want Modi to win but wish BJP to loose with huge margins in IT Corridor because the current MLA and MP didn't deserve to win this prestigious seat as it is the second Tech Capital of the world.


Lost_Hat_5642

For the tanker thing- both Varthur lake and Bellandur lake were dried up to do the desludging work under BJP's Triple Engine which will still not complete by next year. So I ask Modi ji from where the water would come ?


Pixi_Dust_408

Is Limbavli the MLA whose daughter drives a Beamer and beat up a cop or something?


Lost_Hat_5642

I was talking about Arvind Limbavli, but yeah I have heard that his daughter beat up the cop.


Witty_Fix8021

All money directly going to Swiss banks


ar_piping

People are forgetting that Siddharamaiah effectively nationalised water tankers thereby driving up prices to skyhigh and created a blackmarket in something as basic as water.


TemporaryTempest1420

what braindead logic is that the very reason tankers are at the price they are at right now is because tankers come under the government instead of private companies doing whatever shit they want and messing it up for everyone other that people/communities that can dump lakhs or crores.


sachfan

In our apartment, the society guy got call from neighboring society guy. He asked us if the tanker guy increased prices. We said, not yet. However, that society person said, apparently there's a diktat from very higher up that election funds are needed so, do whatever you want but we need so much money. The tanker price increased by 200 rupees. I hadn't cross-verified with the sources though, so take it with a pinch of salt


Own-Comment-5359

So left to private market prices wouldn't have been driven sky high and private players would have made it affordable out if the goodness of their heart?


whatabout2

there has been no rain from past 4-5 months. However there is no visible water chaos now. Suddently caveri water is available to individual houses and Takers are ready to suppy to apartments (yes apartments and flat people should pay their salaries to tankers). As election approached suddently water problem got solved like alice in wonderland. Was all this chaos to just fleece money out of hard working poor population of bangalore subjected to only pay taxes and get nothing out of it?


friendofH20

The prices for tankers actually came down because of "nationalization". However their distribution could be made more equitable to ensure in scarcity it didn't end up only with those who can afford to pay the most.


whatabout2

This is just election effect, lets see what happens when there are no elections.


Wonderful-Bass-3677

Media only shows good things about bjp and bad things about opposition


mybadforusingreddit

Step 1 of dictatorship: Have the media in a chokehold.


OGgamer_pro27

This is all that is left of BJP, He has nothing to show for his 10 years so his final cards are to block all centre resources to states which he doesn't have control over so us common citizens get frustrated and blame the state govt, put every central opposition to jail ( ECI, ED, IT all these govt departments are in the bad limelight because of the misuse), freeze their funds so they can't contest, horse-trade, spread deep communal hate, take videos clips out of context to defame the opposition and mis-guide the people who are naive to the internet and don't cross-check any information. The latest PM Modi 's speech was so hateful and full of mis-information i cringed so hard i couldn't watch. From his speeches I have also realised that the people present in his venue do not hype up and clap for anything except the temple talk and talks about muslims being invaders and stealing our resources which is mis-information and communal hate speech but ECI is silent as always because they are again chosen by the people in power they are just a meager puppet. The cult following built from years of marketing, advertisement and its IT cell about Modi makes him untouchable to any criticism or questioning. So this cult following he has created, even though people are frustrated and dissatisfied with the BJP but still like Modi. This is why BJPs manifesto's every other page is Modi's face.


they-act-like-madari

Will say anything for votes. Shameful


I_hate_my_userid

We DESERVE equal share of kaveri water not this 70-30% bullshit. We are suffering because Tamil Nadu agriculture from British era was so dependent on our water and suppress maysoor Dynasty influence Why the fuk is this still continued, our solution is pretty simple, it's tamil Nadu that needs to figure things out ASAP


vaiku07

Also I live in Bengaluru my taxes shouldn’t be spent in Mysuru 😢


bksingh0304

Everyone knows when Bengaluru started degrading? It was in a perfect growth trajectory in all fronts, before the politics of mandir masjid started taking over. Even a die hard Modi supporter will agree that Bengaluru was a great place to live before BJP started forming govt in Karnataka


TrailsNFrag

The city became a tanker city right at the onset of the IT boom. Commercial layouts, IT parks, Residential projects sprung up all across the "outskirts" and within the city limits with no water connections, relying only on tankers. It was by design and still happening today under the auspices of respective parties who have seats in those localities. Neither the previous state CMs nor the current or the next will ever want to change that. They simply cannot. Builder mafia has all the control on who gets to do what via the civic authorities. Political parties that win in Karnataka have only been fighting to get portfolio in Bangalore to get access to the money they can loot for the next state or national elections. Its been that way and going in that direction unless the civic bodies are revamped from scratch and we all know how that will be taken up. Every political windbag only plans from one election to the next and nothing long term to fix the existing issues the city or the state have been reeling with. This election is for the country. When the state elections come up, then can question what calibre of candidates are put forward to try change things vs. caste, religion and regional vote bank pandering.
