When few politicians have morals, or principles, and can like water take the shape of any vessel, the country is doomed. But the reason they can do this is because most of the people who vote do not see anything wrong or do not know or cannot understand what is going on. That spells for even more doom!
All politician are like that only. Anyone who is making noise about DevaGowda, will do the same if he is in the same situation. This is the problem of constitute. Make a consititue that nobody should not hold or apply for the same government post once they ruled. It will give more opportunity to others

I think people pretty loosely use the terms secularism and pseudo secularism. Do you know the difference and why the use as per convinience?
Keeping one's Legs in two boats will result in drowning only. Deve Gowda thinks that he is a shrewd Politician. Yes he is. But there is a limit to every thing. Those high hopes are based on so many Hypothetical happenings that it is bound to fail.
JD(S) is not considering the fact that its actions have created two victims. The Congress and BJP may go for a Broad understanding in Karnataka, is no one's mind. The possibility is very very unlikely. Still, there is a wishful thinking that such a thing should happen.
Let it not happen now. But certainly there is a future possibility, which no one can deny.
Gowdaji is the Shakuni of politics. His secularity this is a bluff. He only understands power and money. Those are his faith, religion and belief.
Undoubtdly one of the most corrupt politician alive. He is in power exploiting the gullible and innocent villagers. He buys votes from the desperate and needy. No person with minute amount of honesty, integrity and wisdom will vote for this man.
God save Karnataka from the clutches of this family. God save India from the clutches of the Gandhi (not mahatma gandhi) dynasty.

For your information, some of the best chief ministers in the history of karnataka are 1. Kengal Hanumnathaih 2. Deve Gowda 3. S.M Krishna 4. Kamarswamy In fact all of the chief ministers are corrupt including S.M Krishna. Mr Krishna never used to allow anybody to see him without a brief case full of money in thoer hand. Having said this, I mean to say there are reasons why Deve Gowda does not want to give power to BJP. It is Yediyurappa who is making dirty politics by supporting Nice Company(Keni) to make false allegations against Deve Gowda family? It is Yediyurappa who is indirectly allowing Sriramulu and Janardhan Reddy to make false allegations like murder charges against CM. Yediyurappa can not become CM or the people of karnataka do not want Kumarswamy to hand over power to BJP. The kannada people knows that it is with the best interest of the state to not hand over the power. The urban election result proves that the people of karanataka are behind Deve Gowda and Kumarswamy and will support thier decisions.

Moron. You dont know anything. Karnataka changed its direction towards becoming a progressive state when Ramakrishna Hegde became chief minister. He setup engineering colleges much to the outcry. It was during his period companies like HP and others setup base in Bangalore.
Devegowda wants to ratchet up 'secular' noise after enjoying power for 20 months.
People are not fool either. This 'secular' glue is oppurtunism and precisely these sorts of application, as well abuse Hindu Sensitibilities (No Lord Rama existed) and pamper muslims (Sachar, POTA withdrawl etc) which are destroying 'principled' secularism of (say) Nehru.
CPIM is most communal party. To them, anything Hindu is communal, while rallying minority religiously for vote is secular!
