Hedge ruled the state twice. He was one who introduced water pump system to all villages in the state. If you want I can give you the list of good things he did. Do you know Why Davegowda did not become CM during hedge's time it is just because Davegowda does castism a lot. He is not a complete leader like SM krishna and Verendra Patil. Do you know why he kicked PGR, Siddaramaiah from JDS just to promote his uncivilized sons to CM post. I was a janatha Dal support for long time but any more due this. Hope you understand.
