Shame
they are anti nationals and
all parties are the same when it comes to VIP culture
Shame on BSY too
COVID-19 pandemic is worse than VIP culture pandemic
Is there any difference between PAK SENDING COVID-19 terrorists and those flouting COVID-19 rules
#Nikhilkumaraswamy marriage is VVIP racism. govt of @BSYBJP is permitting singlesource. Why 2 laws in the country? somebody should petition SC. Yeddi is behaving there are 2 constitutions in the country. @narendramodi this is clearly not acceptable.
