When were the local body elections held sir? Was it during the last 15-30 days? You were talking about the local body elections held when Deve Gowda's son was still heading the Government. Based on these election results only, Deve Gowda etal became so overconfident of their actions and taken the people of the state for granted and played a series of cruel jokes on them. By referring to the elections that were held 5-6 months ago (i.e. much before the fall of the government) as very recently held elections, you are trying to mislead the readers for the resons best known to you. My suspicion is that you may be penning for Deve Gowda or his sons.
