    Hooliganism is the ideology of BJP workers of the country. Why have the BJP workers not carrying plates and burning candles while protesting? Why cannot the people do business in Kerala and work in Kerala, what is the necessity of crossing the border and working and doing business in Karnataka.
    Would these same BJP Keralites protest if any Middle East (GCC)country closes their borders?

    Protests are part of democracy. Or only BJP don't have permission to protest? Only Anti CAA people can protest? I hope there is no emergency like situation in India like Indira gandhi imposed.

    Unlock 3.0 was in place since end of July... What were these guys doing till date? Waiting for Karnataka Govt to remove restrictions and then blame their own govt? Both state govts continued to uphold restrictions against the Unlock 3.0 guidelines... They should have protested on 1st Aug if they really cared for these people; but then they would get kicked by their bros from DK.

    BJP was silent when Karnataka closed its borders inhuman way. Even serious patients was not allowed to cross border. BJP Kasaragod did not show their courage to request their BJP to allow patients. Now, whom they are showing their drama. And about centrals circular. Kerala is ready to open all borders, if central takes responsibility of increasing Covid cases. Center neither take responsibility, nor help states economically. Even the funds are used biased.

    I think Kerala took it seriously when it was called 'Somalia'. But it should understand it is still a part of India.

When they needed Mangalore city during the critical time for their Citizens with serious cases you closed the border as if Karnataka state was like some country and now you want them to open it as per your Wish and you blame them for behaving like a country? Why didnt you riase your voice then? Now Sit down and wait, it will happen when they want it .
