Considered the ‘Silicon Valley of India’, Bengaluru houses multiple migrants who come from different parts of the country. However, ‘locals’ have pointed out that ‘migrants’ who have come to the city in ‘search of shelter, food, job’ should not denounce the city. They have elevated their claim and said that migrants should leave the city if ‘they have a problem’.

One user wrote “Listen migrates,your inside Bengaluru to earn your bread and butter,just complete your work and get lost. Your no one to slash Bengaluru even if you pay taxes.”
