    The BJP after halting Amarnath Yatra in Kashmir now sets its eye on centuries-old 'Dasara Festival'.
    When the devasting flood hit this BJP's CM is in Delhi for cabinet expansion.

    For political gain, BJP can stop anything. Is BJP ready to stop 'Cabinet Expansion' till the flood victims get proper relief?

    If the party can be spent Rs 28,000 cores alone and Rs 1000 for buying opposition JD(S)-Congress elected MLA's to topple the government, why can't party-ready to spend some money from the Rs800 crores stashed in party funds?

    The party can arrange five-star hotel accommodation, why the same humbleness can be extended to the flood victims who had lost everything and don't even have shelter?

    Or in recent past all ur coilation govt "partners" were in different hotels /resorts
    Further when there was fighting in resort between anand sing and Nagendra you all chaddiless were hiding in rat holes?
    Last year also there was flood as well as drought in our state coilation did not stop dasara. In addition to Dasara "tippu Jayanthi" was celebrated against the will /wish of the State
    Stop all nautanki and dombarata and shedding crocodile tears for the victims
