Mr. PM , there isn’t a pinch of sincerity in your body language
An open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Honourable Prime minister ,
I learnt that you are about to overtake all your political opponents with your strident 21 speeches instead 15 as per your earlier itinerary ; assume that this looks coincidental with the invasions of Parashuram round the earth to annihilate all of Kshatriyas
Sir, I’ve been in this country for the past 60 years, but I do not know whether any other prime minister has so frequently visited the state in a single year; hence your repeated visits to the state seem quite historic to me.
Its my wish that the state of Karnataka would benefit to the full extent from your repeated visits ; so sir, I request that the next time you visit Karnataka, do so with a bit more sincerity.
I also ask that you to speak to people along with your followers in a way that brings in respect for you. There is no need to shy away from knowing history and the current situation; Mr. Pm, it looks that there isn’t a pinch of sincerity in your body language.
The rift between the north and south is widening and there are economic , social, cultural and political reasons for this; as you might be aware the inclination towards formation of a separate southern federation of states is increasing day by day. There is no National water policy to resolve the interstate water disputes amicably, if you have any such policy in the works please do share with us.
Among 22 languages recognised constitutionally, 18 are North Indian and only 4 are from the South; 96 regional languages are yet to be recognised and furthermore 79 regional languages are on the verge of extinction. There is an urgent need for a National linguistic policy to retain and develop these dying languages. I request you to also share your vision and mission about the linguistically plural heritage of India
Respected sir , you’ve visited more than 60 foreign countries in the previous year , so now please explain to us how India benefits from frequent foreign visits and remove the skepticism in our minds.
How much of monetary resources had flooded in? How many jobs have been generated? If they’re not at a satisfactory level ,What are the reasons for it? We as citizens of this country understand that all this is necessary for democracy to stay alive.
Sir there is so much I want say to say but enough for now.I would listen to your speech and write to you again ; I am expecting more from your 21 speeches " Pradakshins " of Karnataka , please do not disappoint us
Regards

Karnataka Milk Federation enters Delhi-NCR, offers competitive pricing on Nandini products
New Delhi, Nov 21: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday launched the Karnataka Milk Federation's (KMF) Nandini brand milk products in the Delhi-NCR market, pricing them marginally lower than competitors to gain a foothold in the region.
The cooperative will retail four cow milk variants, curd, and buttermilk from Friday, with competitive pricing that undercuts established players like Mother Dairy and Amul.
Cow milk will be sold at Rs 56 per litre, full Cream Milk at Rs 67 per litre, Standardised Milk at Rs 61 per litre, Toned Milk at Rs 55 per litre, and curd at Rs 74 per kg.
"We have surplus milk in the state. KMF along with Mandya Milk Union will market surplus milk of 3-4 lakh litres per day in Delhi-NCR," Siddaramaiah told reporters after launching the products.
The federation currently collects 100 lakh litres of milk daily, with local consumption at 60 lakh litres, leaving a surplus of 40 lakh litres for expansion into new markets.
However, the Chief Minister acknowledged the challenges of transporting milk over 2,500 km, which takes 50-54 hours.
There is a need to find new markets for surplus milk and gradually the KMF should be able to sell 5-6 lakh litres per day in Delhi-NCR, he added.
KMF Chairman LBP Bheemanaik assured that milk quality would be maintained during transit.
The federation has already partnered with 40 dealers in the Delhi-NCR region to facilitate sales, he added.
With a robust infrastructure of 26.76 lakh milk producers, 15,737 dairy cooperative societies, and 15 district milk unions, KMF has a turnover of Rs 25,000 crore and exports dairy products to over 25 countries.
State Animal Husbandry Minister K Venkatesh and Agriculture Minister N Cheluvarayaswamy were present at the product launch.
ದೇಶದ ಹಾಲು ಉತ್ಪಾದನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಗುಜರಾತ್ ಮೊದಲ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದರೆ, ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಎರಡನೇ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿದೆ.
