  1. Hey Covid-19 says:

    For the information of those uncivilised inhabitants of the Western World: Europe, US and Canada for example, our ancient Bharat culture requires certain traditions like this inauguration before this facility of 5/6 boxes start to function. We can see your cynical mind thinking whether these boxes have electronic parts/components supplied by China. That shows your narrow-mindedness. Remember, that when you lot in that uncivilsed Western World were living in caves, we had a helicopter called Pushpak Viman that ferried Lord Ram!
    We can see what you are wondering;how did this DC inaugurate this 5/6 box facility? Did he give his blood or throat sample? Was it tested negative, or perhaps even positive for Covid-19? That again shows your narrow -mindedness and uncivilised status!
    Usually, we invite the God Men , those ” Kaavi” clad gurus to do this inauguration. But, suppose,the results of this facility are a disaster, giving false positives, where they were negatives, we cannot drag those “Kaavi” clad God men into the issues, but we can as this person is a mere DC!
    As we said, ours is an ancient culture, and we know what we are doing”! Jai Hind!!

    Was not a Covid-19 testing facility, well funded by the government, inaugurated remotely the other day by Yedi, the CM himself, instead of this DC, which Suttur Seer would have considered as an insult? That is the power of “Kaavi” under the BJP regime. Siddu or Deve Gowda’s son too would have done it, of course.
