Dear Mr. @JPNadda, who do you think you are talking to? We are Kannadigas, we never needed a Narcissist’s blessings to prosper.
Does BJP get great joy in repeatedly insulting the people Karnataka? Prime Minister & BJP think that the entire nation was built only after 2014?

Do you think that Kannadigas lived in Stone Age before Modi became PM? We didn’t have a language or thriving culture, we didn’t have food, clothes, shelter or electricity?

There were no roads, drains, no schools, no universities or no dams. We were all jobless?

. @BJP4Karnataka has become so blinded by devotion to their Masters that they have forgotten what it is to be a Kannadiga & our contribution to the nation.
@JPNadda ji Kannada language has over 3000 years of written history & has the highest number of Jnanpith literary awards

Karnataka is as an education hub where people from even your state come to study. We have built institutions like IISc, CV Raman Institute, DRDO, NIMHANS, National Tuberculosis Centre, University of Agricultural Science and many other research and development institutions.

We also house more than 400 of the Top Fortune 500 Cos & their R&D Centers.

Seven of India's banks, Canara Bank, Syndicate Bank, Corporation Bank, Vijaya Bank, Karnataka Bank, State Bank of Mysore and Vysya Bank started here @JPNadda ji

Even before Modi ji blessed us with Make in India we built ITI, BEL, HMT, BHEL, Mangalore Refinery, Mysore lamps and other major & small scale industries
We built NAL, HAL where planes and helicopters are being manufactured, we built ISRO & we are sending satellites to space
6/n

We were the IT Capital of India before a megalomaniac became the PM & @JPNadda ji many people from North India come looking for jobs & funding their startups here.

Even before PM said #AtmaNirbharBharat, we had built many dams in Karnataka. Have you built any dams?

7/n

Even before Modi said #AtmaNirbharBharat, we got in Green revolution in state.

@JPNadda ji if you like coffee, 70% of the coffee grown in India is from here, that has been growing without the blessings of your supreme leader.

You said you will double farmers income, the only thing that has doubled is farmer loans and their suicides in the state.

By now I am sure you are already familiar with KMF & Nandini pioneering the white revolution.

Karnataka has 46 GI Tags in India, the highest in India.

Also, @JPNadda ji, since you are in election mode, a reminder that even the voting ink too is made in Karnataka.

We don’t need a Gujarat or UP model nor the blessings of Modi to prosper. We, Kannadigas have always been a great example for bravery & progress.

If you think you can come here & threaten, insult & belittle us, you are mistaken, we take great pride in our history & culture, we have immense faith in our hard work.
We are guided by the teachings of Buddha & Basavanna, but also inspired by the bravery of Obbava & Rayanna
11/n

So @JPNadda ji don’t come out read your Nagpur speeches here & provoke us. We already are in a state blessed by nature, don’t need your master’s blessings, we already are an economic powerhouse fueling the nation’s progress earlier to your “blessings”.
12/n

Kannadigas will make you pay heavily for your arrogance. While you appease your master, you insult 6.5 Cr Kannadigas.

Stop trying to force your GOD on us.
