My friend @INCKarnataka You folks are ruling us in Karnataka. We elected you to power. Please tell us what you have done for Kannadigas, the good jobs you have created for our youth, why you are destroying Bengaluru with inadequate investment, very high corruption and misgovernance? Corruption has gone up manifold with Rate Card in many departments. People say to file their annual report for pollution control they are demanding bribe and not accepting it till bribe is paid. Till now we have never heard of bribes for just filing a report.
Other states will take care of themselves. We are concerned about Karnataka.
As for formal job creation, please check the last 5 years too from the Karnataka Jobs Report. The momentum continues but what have you done to increase high paying job creation? You have increased our taxes in many areas. The EPFO data from 6 years shows Karnataka has been producing good formal jobs for long- but what is your role? Every year nearly 10 lakh youth reach the age of 21, about 8 lakh need good jobs. See the wages of the formal jobs. More than 75% are still less than Rs 20000 per month.
Look at the data in UDISE 24-25 of school exam results for 2024 India pass rate for secondary school board is 88%, Karnataka is 82%, Tamil Nadu is 92%, UP is 90%, AP is 89%! We are supposedly the richest state in India but pass % in class 10 board is less than India average, what have you done to improve this dismal rate? Our GER in Higher education in 21-22 is the lowest in south India, but today nearly 70% of faculty positions in govt colleges are guest faculty not full time teachers. Can we progress without giving our youth good Higher Education? What are you doing here?
You are borrowing money for your guarantees. In 22-23 revenue surplus was Rs 21689 cr, in 23-24 revenue deficit of Rs 2718 cr, in 24-25 revenue deficit of Rs 19454 cr, in B 25-26 Revenue deficit E is Rs 19,113 cr. Our @CMofKarnataka@siddaramaiah had drastically reduced our revenue deficit and was the best State FM but now you are borrowing money for subsidies.
As for govt jobs increasing are these Jobs on contract or regular full time govt jobs? Please give us data. People have not seen any large scale recruitment. In north Karnataka there were huge protests because you folks have not kept your promise for govt jobs.
Media reports say around Rs 7000 cr were reportedly spent on fixing potholes in city. But still we have huge potholes. Where did this money go?
Karnataka is the richest state in India with the highest per capita income for any large state. We want you folks to give us a CORRUPTION FREE GOVERNANCE WITH GOOD JOB CREATION FOR OUR YOUTH! Please do not ruin our STATE with inadequate investment and HIGH CORRUPTION! .
In 22-23 capital expenditures was Rs 56907 cr, in 23-24 came down to Rs 51911 cr, in 24-25 rs 60538 cr in B 25-26 E is Rs 68 172 cr! It has hardly increased in last 3 budgets! Can you create jobs without investment in infrastructure, capital investment in Karnataka? All figures from CAG STATE ACCOUNTS.
Look all of us want KARNATAKA TO BE NO 1 STATE., BENGALURU TO REMAIN RICHEST AND HIGH JOB PRODUCING CITY IN INDIA. CLEARLY we have big cause to worry because of increasing CORRUPTION AND BAD GOVERNANCE. please GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

The Indian government should be ashamed of collecting taxes from Kannadigas while refusing to communicate with them in their own language Kannada.
Why should a Kannadiga be forced to read government forms, Union policies, employment exams in English?
Mr. Amit Shah, when will you make Kannada also an official language of the Indian Union? @AmitShah
“Bahawalpur.”
I still have chills in my heart from when I first heard that town’s name in late January 2002. For the 23 years since, I have reported on how Pakistani intelligence and military leaders have used that city — Bahawalpur — in the southern province of Punjab as a base for its homegrown domestic terrorists.
When I heard India bombed training camps in Pakistan this week in Operation Sindoor, in response to a Pakistani terrorist rampage in India’s Kashmir state, I had one city’s name on my lips: Bahawalpur.
Did India bomb Bahawalpur?
It did. I knew then India was striking actual hubs for Pakistan’s homegrown domestic terrorism.
Why do I know?
My friend, WSJ reporter Danny Pearl, went to Bahawalpur in December 2001 with a notebook and a pen. Gen. Pervez Musharraf had just promised he was shutting down Pakistan’s militant groups after a strike by Pakistan’s terrorists against the Parliament in India, and Danny reported on the militant offices in Bahawalpur.
He literally knocked on their doors. Dear Dr. @yudapearl, this story is a window into Danny’s reporting enterprise. And because people will wonder: Danny was no cowboy. This was a calculated low-risk reporting trip because no journalist had been targeted for kidnapping in Pakistan. Around that time, Danny sent me an email: “I’m anxious to go to Afghanistan, but I’m not anxious to die.”
What did Danny learn?
The militant training camps were open for business in Bahawalpur.
On Jan. 23, 2002, Danny left a home I had rented in Karachi, Pakistan, for an interview.
I learned Danny’s fixer, Asif Farooqi, had arranged an interview for Danny through a man named “Arif.” Danny didn’t know it but Arif was the PR man for a militant group, Harkutul Mujahadeen. What was Arif’s hometown? Bahawalpur.
The police launched a manhunt to find Arif in Bahawalpur. We learned Arif’s family faked a funeral for Arif. Police found him trying to board a bus in Muzaffarabad, across the country by Pakistan’s border with Kashmir.
It is another town India said it bombed terrorist training facilities.
Arif had handed Danny off to Omar Sheikh,a British-Pakistani dropout from the London School of Economics, radicalized in the 1990s in London mosques. He went to Pakistan to train in these militant training camps. Then he kidnapped tourists in India. He was caught and jailed but on Dec. 31, 1999, he was traded for hostages in the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814.
Omar Sheikh was freed with Pakistani terrorist leader Masood Azhar, whose family was allegedly killed this week by India’s air strike in Bahawalpur.
Did Pakistan jail Omar Sheikh and Masood Azhar when they returned to Pakistan with a third terrorist, freed from India’s jails?
No. Pakistan’s military and intelligence gave them safe passage. They used them as weapons against India. But in fact these domestic terrorists have waged war against innocents in Pakistan, like civil society activists, Benazir Bhutto, Punjab Governor Salman Taseer, schoolchildren and countless others.
Their extremism has ruined Pakistan, and Pakistanis can’t blame America for creating the mujahideen to fight the Soviets in the 1980s.
Pakistan has had a duty to dismantle those terrorist bases — for even the safety of its own people. What India is doing is a strategic attack on terrorist bases Pakistani military and intelligence should have eliminated but never did in their obsession to take over Kashmir.
You will see parallels in the propaganda messages against India and Israel. Like Hamas, Pakistani terrorists crossed a border to kill. Now, Pakistani propagandists call themselves victims of their “fascist” “colonizer” neighbor.
It’s the Reverse Uno strategy of moral inversion, just like @stoolpresidente got from the Temple student who won’t take responsibility for promoting the “HATE THE JEWS” sign. Don’t fall for it. Nations, communities and people must own up to their extremism, from Bahawalpur to beyond.
If there was a ‘whites only’ restaurant, those who preen about eating at ‘brahmin cafes’ will be the first to cry against racism and discrimination
What happens when people choose caste privilege over and above plain logic.
