Somebody has hijacked my ID or using a duplicate. Eventhough I am apolitical, I will give preference to BJP in Karnataka election and hope then win big. Compared to congress BJP is far more democratic. Here are two instances. 1) In Tumkur district a seat was denied to a candidate who last time lost by less than 1000 votes. Tumkur MP decided to resign and local party workers peacefully protested. Party gave the ticket to the candidate. Is it possible in congress. 2) The same thing in Puttur. Party denied a ticket to candidate Shakuntala Shetty. But Ram Bhat ex MLA of the seat twice and builder of the party in South Kanara district put his foot down. Even now all BJP leaders from Yediyurappa to Anantha Kumar listen to such old timers. That gives me hope that party will be much more development oriented than congress. Regarding congress, it has become a family owned business. I still see some hope that it may be able to revive and become a political party instead of a family owned business, if we voters keep it out for atleast 10 years. If we do that a Bill Clintor or Tony Blair like leader can arrive and make it accountable to grassroots peoples aspirations than present top down structure.
