Likewise , the current JD(S)&BJP'S coalition ;unless the ambitious leaders 'appetite for ever larger share of funds ,perquisites and scope for creating a domain of influence eludes them,and they look for greener pastures to devour... good governance , ideology and development ,unfortunately ,few politicians care , perhaps ,in the current rat-race these are vestiges of the polity that is horribly unstrung from its old democratic values, D.
