Absolutely false. I have travelled from and to Bengaluru Airport tens of times and every time the CISF guy expects us to speak in Hindi.
@KanimozhiDMK The CISF has ordered an Enquiry into the matter. It is not the policy of CISF to insist upon any particular language.

The only person who could carry all Kannadigas in this highly polarised political environment has left us suddenly. He was Kannada film industry’s biggest star. He was the best brand ambassador Karnataka had in recent years. Why did you go so early @PuneethRajkumar.

We Kannadigas have to be thankful to leaders like Annadurai, Karunanidhi, MGR, NTR & Jayalalitha who stood for language identity, language pride, state rights and challenged Centralisation moves by GOI. We had no leaders who spoke along these lines. Sad but true. #Karunanidhi.

If Yediyurappa was retained as CM and given a free hand to run these elections & Santosh, Amit Shah were kept out; BJP would have got 100 seats instead of the 65 that they have got now. This should be read by all BJP supporters. #BJPLossAnalysis.

If not for the movement against Hindi imposition and Delhi hegemony by the Tamils, we would all be colonies of Delhi by now. At least we have a functioning state government now. Thanks to the Tamil politicians. #Karunanidhi.

Everyone likes Puneeth because he was simple and not political in any and every sense. He was never polarising. He never indulged in anything petty. His simplicity was his strength. #PuneethRajkumar.

A very good thing is #MaxTheMovie has taken back a lot of theatres which were marked as Non Kannada centres by distributors. Continuous supply of Kannada films and dubbed Kannada versions of other language films should occupy most screens in Karnataka. #UiTheMovie.

Tamils and Kannadigas have been fighting for thousand years now. That’s nothing new. We will also unite when we need to fight and push back Delhi and Hindi hegemony. You Hindi Sanghis don’t need to rejoice. We will tackle you together when it is needed.

Shameful. His commitment to Nagpur is bigger than his commitment to his state & its people.
I politely decline Karnataka CM Sri Siddaramaiah’s invitation to attend tomorrow’s faux protest. I will, however, address a press conference at New Delhi, to expose the devious, divisive & false propaganda of the CM & Congress with respect to tax devolution to Karnataka.

Rishabh Shetty knows film industry is a dying industry. He is completely aligning himself with one political group because he sees his future either directly in the politics of Sangh Parivar or his general business interests being protected by being a part of their ecosystem.

KFI, see how Tamils have control on their territory. They have to fight for even 5 to 10 shows. Here sepoys from KFI distribute Tamil and Telugu films in Karnataka and give them.1000 shows and postpone release of Kannada films during holiday season.
#KA - I’m not asking for Tamil version release. All I’m asking is 5-10 shows in Chennai to screen Telugu version but sadly not getting even 5 shows for now, says Kiran Abbavaram.

@KicchaSudeep is talking all the right things in presenting Kannada and Kannadigas on a pan India stage. Thanks Sudeep avare!.
.@KicchaSudeep says they've made #VikrantRona with a genuine effort to give good content & a visual treat, and not just compete with other big-budgeted blockbusters & earn money!. Nice touch when he said he'd love to hear Tamil actors speak in Kannada when they come to Bangalore.

Kannada has survived in Karnataka only because of the muscle of pro Kannada organisations. No one else can challenge Delhi / Hindi / migrant hegemony. End of day if you don’t have the street power, you will be walked all over.

Kannada Sanghis who defend everything including Hindi Imposition have egg on their face now.
The notification released by FSSAI for the use of “Dhahi” in curd sachets produced by state-run cooperative societies is not in tandem with the policy of our Hon PM Thiru @narendramodi avl to promote regional languages. We want an immediate rollback of the notification.

Even if all 6 crore Kannadigas had watched KGF2 it would have made around 600 crores. Best possible scenario is around 15% people would watch any movie. So only Kannada collections would mean around 100 crores. This is the power of dubbing. KFI should work for #DubbingInKannada.

Two senior actors are back in Tier 1 after the release of #UITheFilm and #MaxTheMovie. KFI has to capitalise on this and get in more investments for production of Kannada films. KFI needs an additional investment of at least another 500 crores now. @nimmaupendra @KicchaSudeep.

Watched #Madhagaja on Prime. If they keep making films like this, KFI will find it to difficult to compete with other film industries. The Kannada star actors do one film in two years and if the films are like this, KFI is going down quickly. There is not much time left.

You should have learnt Marathi by now. It is so shameful you haven’t. Marathis are in such a bad situation because they accepted Hindi hegemony. Kannadigas will not.
This is exactly why. Mumbai >>>>>>> anything else. Mala basic Marathi bolata yete ( and I am trying to improve). But never in the last decade even for a second I have ever felt like an outsider in Mumbai because I don’t know the language/not a localite.
