You really cannot compare Gowda with Chanakya. Gowda has no credibility. He was humiliated since his tricks backfired and he was forced to tie up with the BJP. Gowda is a defeated man. Even his own party MLAs do not support him. He is no Chanakya, he is the but of jokes.
I agree with Prakash that the power transfer should have been done gracefully. The same power transfer happened but after Gowda was humiliated.
