Our chief minister is dancing to the tunes of Amit Shah and PM Modi. The funny part is that elections are in Karnataka State and the government of Goa has declared paid holiday on May 10 in Goa. Now in future if Maharashtra and other states are having elections than government of Goa will declare holiday all the time because many state people are working in Goa and for them Goa is mini Gulf ?  Instead of solving the problem and issues of Goa, our CM and other ministers are promising great things to the people of Karnataka. They are using the Kannada people in Goa and Karnataka just to win election.
