I vote for Deve Gowda. At least he can sleep more soundly in Delhi (no work to do) and relieve the dirty meddling with local developments in Karnataka. All active politcians must be given a brief spell of presidency in rotation (say a year or so) so that they can relax and lose their power to manipulate politics in thier states. Next term will be of course for Karunanidhi followed by Arjun Singh jointly with V P Singh Jai Hind
