I think in politics there is nothing like betrayal, sincerity etc. or so called ethic. Only thing that matters is that you know other guys need and how to hold the key for it. The moment the need is over freindship is over.
Now Gowda wants power & hoping that congress support him so he can nullify sympathy wave of betrayal,if there is any,towards BJP. But why will Congress support him? Gowdas assumption is that Congress didnt do good in recent local body election, no party MLAs want election now, no important issue against the current government etc. Agreed. But by supporting Gowda, who pulled congres govt 20 months back and Gowda is famous for cheating, what are they really going to get? Infact even the anti-incumbancy factor will be nullified because they are supporting government now. Infact by supporting Gowda they only make him improve his chance of getting more vote in the next election by giving him opportunity declare some popular measures. Strong Gowda always works against Congress and BJP. Both want to see Gowdas political obituary.
But funny thing is no one, including media, talk about Governor rule. I think Congress is haunching on it. Because Central govt is run by congress with a puppet president its easy to impose Governor rule. With puppet governor, Congress will have better chance in election by placing favoring officers at right place. With that Congress can nullify BJPs sympathy wave, highlight Gowdas misrule, & keep anti-incumbency factor intact.
