DK Shivakumar. Only in congress school of politics a 2 time MLA and a minister once can become 80 crore rich. He is a loyalist of Krishna. Devegowda hates him more than BJP. Devegowda has same love for Siddaramiah, Ramakrishna Hegde and so many others. Same case with Siddaramiah. Karnataka had the best administrators and leaders and politics was as civil as it could be. But I think Devegowda and his family have ruined it. I put equal blame on Siddaramiah and his associates where they conducted Kuruba and OBC caste rallies saying Siddaramiah is Karnataka's Lalu (Lalu baloon has been puctured and if UPA loses election next year he would be running between bail and jail is a different matter). For the sake of state hope DeveGowda, Kumaraswamy and associates as well as Siddaramiah and his candidates lose big. Jaffar Shariff I hope he joins BSP. That would reduce congress to UP, Bihar stage. Last time BSP doubled its vote from 0.8 to 1.6 percent. Congress tally came down from 145 to 65. This time they are more resoucefull both moneywise and candidatewise. Their vote share may touch 4 percent minimum. If it touches 5 percent congress will be strugging to reach 25 seats. M.P.Prakash is a really a gem of politician. Typically civil well read and soft spoken. He wanted to join BJP but in his native Bellary district BJP could not give tickets due to opposition of local unit. One way it was good. He joined congress and created one more faction which will destroy congress in karn
