03 Feb 2006 is a red letter day in the history of Karnataka when the BJP led by Yediyurappa and JD(S) with Mr HD Kumaraswamy at the helm, have formed the Govt in the State. The credit for this should go to Mr HD Kumaraswamy the leader of JD(S) firstly for pulling out of the coalition and secondly for displaying courage & statesmanship in aligning with the BJP. Mr Yediyurappam deserves praise in equal measure for supporting JD(S) led by Mr HD Kumaraswamy to form the Govt. I have no doubts that the BJP- JD(S) combination augurs well and would usher in an era of much needed stability & prosperity to Karnataka State. I say this, for I see in Mr HD Kumaraswamy, a young man in a hurry, out to prove himself and also because BJP led by Yediyurappa, too, would like to prove themselves by ensuring an efficient & honest administration. I wish the new dispensation good luck. colonelrajan@rediffmail.com
