"Instead of worrying about the Central Government, NDA government, he should worry about the Karnataka government. The economic system of the entire state has collapsed, and the coming days will be very difficult for our state of Karnataka. Due to their free schemes, the administration does not have money for any work and the result is that petrol and diesel prices have been increased. The entire public is suffering. So I feel that this government is going to fall very soon. He should worry about the Karnataka government and the Telangana government which has been formed accidentally and one of our workers has formed the government there, who was a member of our RSS and this government is running on his shoulders," he said.
