There is nothing wrong if a leader believes that he can lead a coalition government and develop a state or country. You must know that after the first communist government under EMS Namboothiripad, no party could get a clear majority in Kerala. For the last few decades, only coalitions have been ruling Kerala. In spite of that Kerala has developed. In many spheres like health care, public distribution, literacy, women empowerment etc. Kerala is ahead of others even though industrial growth was poor because of militant trade unionism. Vajpayee lead a 25 party coalition and ruled successfully for a full term. The eight percent plus industrial growth which we are witnessing today started during his tenure. When Yeddyurappa took over as CM, he did not know his government will last only seven days. JD(S) had given a letter to the governor pledging unconditional support to BJP. After that if JD(S) started demanding signing of 12 point agreement as pre-condition for supporting the government, how can you blame BJP for that? If JD(S) wanted to ensure that the 12 point programme should be the basis for support, they should have got it done before issuing the letter to the governor. JD(S) has insulted not only the people of Karnataka, they have insulted even the highest seat of Indian democracy (that is, the office of the president of India)
