    This is how the double engines growth Sarkars were powered throwing up hard earned public tax payers money in self glorifying for the last none years without any productive purpose and benefits to the common people. Only beneficiaries were media agencies and non stop shouting, ... Lala singing TV channels. What would have been the total spending in last nine years. ... it's anyone's guess. Fooling andha bhakts was the greatest achievement ever at the cost of common tax payers. Jai ho Lala.....!!!!

    FYI, congress doesn’t own finance ministry and doesn’t collect tax and GST money for self pleasure.

    44 Crores is a chuha for you ? Came from taxpayer's hard earned money gentleman, not from BJP's headquarters. If you are so rich, offer to bear that cost.

    Achievements are self-speaking and no need for any special ads to show case. If ads are used to show case achievements then there is no actual achievements only fake double engine development and BJP is compelled to do it.

    Can anyone tell me is there any special provision to the state government to spend tax payers money for their benefits. Why can't the party spend their party funds. It's really sad that we the people work hard and pay taxes these politicians spend our money for ads.

    What did it get in return? 66...less than 1/3rd of the total number of seats . Had those fellows in that government actually done some actual work for the public , they would not have been in this position today. Spreading hatred and asking votes in the name of the number of gaalis given to the PM will not get you votes in an intelligent state like Karnataka
