India has had its share of corrupt & inept politicians in the past, but Gowda takes the cake for being the most corrupt, oppurtunistic & shameless politician that India has ever had. Its a matter of great shame to the people of Karnataka to have a rotten snake like him in their midst. If a poll were to be done now, he would most definitely rank as the most hated politican not only in karnataka but the whole of India as well. We have lost so many eminent leaders in the prime of thier life, why not this thug ? it begs a question !
