Atleast there is lot of competition. Lots of alternatives. Gowda has competitors in Yediyurappa, in Siddaramaiah, and so on.
It is not one family rule like in TN
More important, most politicians are OBCs and power is with OBCs, (like in TN), but at same time they dint get the power by spreading hatred against Hinduism and against Hindi and against some castes.
That makes the state better than TN when it comes to political culture. It is sickening to see my state being ruled by one family and being run to help one business group.
