Kumaraswamy shows that he is a cunning politician and is not trust worthy. He is shameless is saying that he will carry that tag for the sake of the people of Karnataka and to save his party! He is short circuiting his political future by his short sighted vision.
Wonder what did BJP do to damage his party in these 20 months. They allowed them to rule that too when JDS on its own broke their alliance with Congress because JDS made same allegation against Congress of trying to break their party.
A stalwart of JDS - Siddaramaiah chose to go to Congress and that was the last straw for JDS.
Unfortunately, JDS is reduced to a family party and it seems they have packed the executive with only YES men.
It is a sorry state of affairs when not even one of their leaders or legislators have said on record that a promise made has to be kept because it is a matter of trust.
JDS had broken their alliance with Congress, and now if they go back to them to stay in power it shows they have no morals. Indeed, the CM has gone on record along with his Home Minister that it is OK to break a promise made. They are twisting the Ramayana and Mahabharatha to suit their convenience and say that Dharmaraja told a lie. Mahabharatha cleary states Dharma did not lie, but Krishna blew his Conch when Dharam uttered the word 'elephant' (this is a reference to the announcement by Dharmaraja about the son of Drona the commander of Duryodhana's armya - "Ashwatthhama, the elephant, is killed".

jAnAmi dharmam nacha me pravrittihi:, jAnAmyadharmam na cha me nivritti
I know what is right but i cannot follow it, I know what is wrong, I canot desist that path.
These filthy politicians like Deve Gowda family are like that.

With reference to Ashwathama episode, I would like to remind you, these poeple who can mis-interpret a holy epic, we can imagine what they will interpret the actions of their coalition partners?
So we should learn a lesson, and vote suitably, but first we should vote.

But the irony is that the votes of the poor and downtrodden are bought for a bottle of cheap liquor, a piece of cloth, and 100 rupees!
This is the reason the politicians have ensured the poor remain poor and uneducated so that they can exploit them for ever.
