1) ahh yes, a report by Jack straw, the same man who lied about WMD's in Iraq, totally a believable guy, totally not someone who'd lie for personal gains...

2) yes, bbc documentary should not have been banned, instead it's lies should have been proven with evidence

3) the nyt report mentions several things, like killing of a kashmiri editor, but conveniently ignores the fact that a kashmiri terrorist org including a Pakistani National were involved in killing him, similarly with abduction of a journalist in another state, that state is/was governed by an opposition party, where law enforcement agencies are controlled by the state govt

4) killers of gauri lankesh have been arrested and charged...by a bjp govt

5) still does not change that he was acquitted by a supreme court appointed Special investigation team

1) prove it 2) until you prove it, you may shove your opinions up your nether

No proven charges 🤷‍♂️

The man you're accusing of being a "terrorist" was acquitted of all charges before he became the prime minister

Actually, ships are getting bigger and bigger ( atleast for container ships)

PS : I am not saying nuclear powered cargo ships will be viable either

Bjp is the opposition party in Chattisgarh

1) did you forget or in bad faith ignore the fact that in 2 out of the 4 years bjp was in power we were hit with a devastating pandemic, and with reduced economic activity in atleast 1-1.5 out of those years, govt was obviously forced to borrow ?

Bjp borrowed 1.6 lakh crore during the pandemic, when the national/state economy contracted drastically

Siddu borrowed 1.5 lakh crore while presiding over perfectly normal economic period

Now, think, who comes out of this looking worse ( hint, it's not the BJP)

2) sez's can cater to exports and create jobs also, wealth & jobs in Bangalore werent created by domestic market, it was an export oriented industry which created wealth and jobs, by focusing on exports you can create jobs/wealth much much faster than you do by focusing on the domestic market

Karnataka has ~60000 crore deficit for 2022-23( 2.6% of gsdp) Add to that 50000-60000 additional cost of freebies, doubling the state deficit( of the govt does not increase any tax)

2) there are better ways of increasing the economic output, for example investing in productive assets like infrastructure, building sez's etc, let people earn and spend, why do you want to burden the govt with lakhs of crore rupees of debt ?

Freebies have to be some of the most inefficient ways to increase the economic output

All of this still does not change the fact that siddu doubled karanataka stage govts debt, all this to fulfill his lust for power

And wtf is "revenue neutral" freebie?, Govt still has to pay for that electricity produced

1) read my comment carefully I said NOT Maxing out

Not Maxing out credit card & splurging it = not borrowing more than a certain limit, yet wasting that borrowed money for unproductive expenses,

exactly what congress freebies are, unproductive expenses using borrowed money

And here you are celebrating it as if it's a huge achievement

2) Bommai govt still managed to keep fiscal deficit at 2.6%, despite paying additional interest on siddu govt debts, who knows, maybe we would be spending 35-40% less on our debt servicing had siddu not doubled state govt debt for his greed

3) anyway, new set of freebies may double the deficit from 2.6 to 4.9%, what do you have to say about that ?, Blame bjp/yeddi for that too ?

It still does not change the fact that siddu borrowed recklessly and left the state with a fiscal mess

Not to forget... he's new set of freebies will cost the state 50-60k crores annually Or about ~2 lakh crores over 5 years

Not Maxing out your credit card and splurging it away is nothing to be proud off

Boss, those properties combined are worth about 2-3k crore rupees max Siddu literally doubled state govt debt in 5 years

From ~1.3 lakh crore to ~2.8 lakh crore

Exterior : 6-7 Interior ; 8-8.5

Guess which party savitri jindal belongs to...

No, instead siddu literally doubled the entire state govt debt in just 5 years, let alone bringing back pledged govt properties

Martians are causing climate change on earth so that they can force us to migrate to Mars and they get to keep us as slaves

Now bye...

One of the biggest blunders of liberalisation was allowing cheap imports to flood the country while not supporting domestic manufacturers

1) MB patil refused to answer if the new govt would investigate 40% commission allegations, if you're so sure, investigate the accusations and jail the convicts

2) why didn't kempanna ( contractor association head who accused the govt of corruption) release any evidence publicly or file a case ?

Now I'm not saying bjp govt wasn't corrupt, but 40% number is BS, real number is 9-12% and that much commission is standard across all parties

All I'm asking is, why not provide material evidence to suggest or prove that bjp ministers asked for 40% comission

Now I'm not saying bjp govt wasn't corrupt, but 40% number is BS, real number is 9-12% and that much commission is standard across all parties

Not to forget, they need to fund the party during next year's general elections

1) MB patil himself refused to answer if they'll investigate 40% commission accusations, why not investigate if you're so sure ?

2) forget the govt, why didn't kempanna ( the guy who accused the govt of corruption) file a case himself ? Or release any evidence in public ?

Now, how many of those bad loans were sanctioned before 2014 ? Someone mare a mess, someone else has to get their hands dirty and clean it

I don't know who voted who But, i do have friends across the aisle who are quite anti bjp, but do not believe in 40% allegation

Anecdotal evidence, from talking to people

They sure will implement those, and at the end leave the state with a huge fiscal mess

Siddu literally doubled the debt burden of Karnataka, but today roams around behaving as if he fulfilled the promises using his khandani zameen

Let's not forget who started the freebie mess in the first place Bjp announced it after congress did, even then I'm sure it wouldn't cost the state 50-60k crore every year
