Thank you for fucking up the NPOV, and shifting the focus, and incomplete information

Yes it is. Indian media is full of political bias. The article is to inform about the problem between states, the history, what happened, what schools and transportation services did, what people not affected by the river (who rely on different river) did after ex-CM’s comment, what city ambassador said, and how people supported the idea of bandh. It had nothing to do with opinions of political parties. There were bands for water issues during BJP government, and they were during Congress government. The farmers suffer, politicians blame each other, media exploits the childish debates go get more views and make money by mixing need to call for a protest and what politicians blatantly accused each other without any proof. And just like the Indian media, who cares for views by adding political opinions in almost every single news article, English Wikinews did the same.

So why was the bandh on the same day as Amit Shah's rally? Why is the next one on Narendra Modi's day in Bangalore? Are you really telling me that is not anti-BJP action? Anyway, who are they protesting against, then? Karnataka needs water, but the river also starts there. People want canals. So who are they protesting against? In my view, the ruling BJP party. You are young. Soon you will learn that everything is a political opinion. It's harsh but true. P.S. I almost went to Goa last year, but if you cut off the water, let me know. Thanks.

People want the central government to interfere. When there was BJP in state and congress at centre, there were bandhs. In 2016, when there was no rally there was bandh; Shah’s role was only because of the upcoming state election. They do not care for the state until the election season. His mere presence in this state was for the election and that constitutes for an entirely different focus. Why it happened on that particular day? I don’t know. January 26 is National holiday. Saturday is many people’s day off, and there would be relatively less activity and that would not appear as a protest. I believe that is the reason they had to shift from Saturday to Thursday.

BTW, if (as you say) the overwhelming majority of Karntaka is in favor of fixing the water situation and they need the central government to make it happen, how does a bandh help? Especially, when it is local. To me it just seems like it hurts the local economy. Wouldn't it be more efficient to send a bunch of people to New Delhi with banners and flags?
