    If Elected representatives could have taken immediate action with the Unions, this Loss could have avoided and today we should blame the EGO of our Ministers including CM, BSY. Our CM is having money for others and why he is not taking care the Hard working people ?? He has increased the allowances to his MLA's, MLC & MP + Money for buying Expensive Cars to his Ministers and for all this he is having Money to Pay but to those who is doing good work no Payment. Let KSRTC & BMTC not claim about the Loss.

    Does your party want to take over now ? Please do so and show your capability . Do not make weird comments just because you have freedom and anonymity here There is all round progress after BJP govt has taken over. There is lesser corruption at the central leadership level . Try to support the govt initiatives ..From your side wear a mask ..maintain social distancing .. maintain face and hand hygiene and go out until absolutely important.
