It is Democracy, my dear sir. You get what you want. What you want you express through ballot. What Bihar is today, is what people want. It may be too harsh, but it is truth. Biharis are always concerned that their \'castewalla\' has become MLA, Minister or CM and they feel proud about it. Now look at the other side of the table. The man who is elected from X,Y or Z caste, he knows very well secret of his success. He performs accordingly to maintain that success. You must be surprised that I am talking about performance. Yes performance criteria is there. But this performance is not what you are thinking. He just keeps his voters in good humour. Things like welfare of the society don\'t exist in his dictionary, because he didn\'t get vote for that. He is doing what he was voted for. Therefore please don\'t blame him for the state of Bihar.
Same goes for Karnataka. Here is a message for the people of Bangalore. Next time you people vote, you should know what you want. Because ultimately you will get the same thing.
i have been in this city since 1999.as an educated youth i should react over the cheap political chaos playing by the ruling leaders of karnataka.they dont have time to develop their surrounding ,instead they all r trying o utilise their golden times to theive 'peoples money' in the name of their 'great sacrifice to state and country'.hey C M r u hearing still the infrastructure development is so pathetic,traffic is damn hectic.but above all v cannot blame these 'thiefs'alone.v peoples also have to shoulder the responsibility of creating such an atmosphere.here v cannot spare a minute for responding all.then ur fate is to suffer all these..
Dear Sir, As per your column HD Deve Gowda heads JD(United). It is not the case. JD(Secular) is headed by him. And it is JD-S that is a coalition partner.
Sir, I am engg graduate and presently doing a job in andhra pradesh. I want to say is that the politicians(specially present ones) whether in andhra pradesh or karnataka they are doing anything to come in to news and talking like an iddiate fellows with the kings of IT world. The previous govt were far better than the present ones as there focuswas on development of the state reather than the party. they are those who had shown the dreams of such things and to far extent had satisfied evryone other than there rival parties. It sounds and not like before a storm ,everything will be silent but we can hear about the fear in the air. All we can do is to hope for the best to happen and things may come back on the right track.
The IT Capital,Garden City...and what not is finally a victim of dirty politics...thanks to the "Son of soil".IT companies grabbing land??? Look who is talking.....when one can go on grabbing lands in south bangalore for personal use why cant IT Companies do the same to help in economic growth.When he has nothing to add to his credentials then Why question NRN,person with high calibre and credentials.Surprising that we had such Prime Ministers.
Really sad that politicians have started taking Karnataka th Bihar way .The rot should be stopped .In the interest of the state this unholy alliance should be called off .Mr DeveGowda should concentrate on the National Scene having been the PM of India . Wtith his comedown he is now attempting the comedown of the state

At least in Bihar rot looks like rot. But in Bangalore, there is a facade. Inside it is rot. Politicians of all sorts practice hypocrisy here. They are callous and indifferent to the plight of citizens. The citizens' welfare is neglected. Roads are full of humps and pot holes. Traffic congestion is not managed by Police who do not bother about avoidable accidents which are a daily routine. On the other hannd, they try to make money out of desperate commuters.
It is very sad that our ExPM is questioning the contribution of Mr Narayana Murthy when every one knows who has contributed how much to India in general & Karnataka in particular. Our state can really come to international standards if politicians stop meddling with the morale of proffessionals. Now atleast he can make peace with Mr Murthy for the sake of Karnataka's progress raather than criticising him in public
Now give some practical solution to come out from this trouble. I am here in Bangalore for the past 14 years, and I have not seen a CM like SM Krishna. He has to come back to the politics and has to put all these culprits inside the prison. SM Krishna is a good leader, we all will be happy if he come back to active politics. Rest are all there to make money.
These politicians can make money, but spend atlease 25% to the public, they are eating up 100%.
