Karnataka state govt has decided to name Bengaluru Yalahanka flyover as #VeerSavarkarFlyover is a most welcoming thing.
But few people are opposing this as it affects their Political Agenda in the state.
But we are ever proud of #VeerSavarkar,
Lets us see why we should be;

#VeerSavarkar
1.The 1st political leader to daringly set Absolute Political Independence as India's goal (1900).
#VeerSavarkarFlyover
2.The first Indian political leader to daringly perform a bonfire of foreign (English) clothes(1905)

5.The only Indian leader whose arrest in London caused legal difficulties for British Courts and whose case is still referred to in the interpretations of the Fugitive Offenders Act & the Habeas Corpus (Rex Vs. Governor of Brixton Prison, ex-parte Savarkar) #VeerSavarkarFlyover

6. The first revolutionary leader who within less than 10 years gave a death-blow to the practice of untouchability in the remote district of Ratnagiri while being interned there.
I support #VeerSavarkarFlyover at Bengaluru

7. Therefore I strongly welcome Karnataka State Government's decision to name Yelahanka Flyover as #VeerSavarkarFlyover, hence irrespective of some people opposing it with prejudice and playing politics in such matters, Govt must go ahead with its decision
