Even thieves respect their words of honour while some political parties heap themselves with dishonour, as happened in Karnataka once again. The JD(S) has been enacting the father%u2013son melodrama. Congress must be thanked for not entertaining H D Deve Gowda s attempts to forge an alliance again. It would be far better to support one s sworn enemies with some character than aligning with unreliable people who for the sake of self development would not mind sinking an entire state into the lucrative mines. The JD(S) withdrawal of support to the BJP government in Karnataka has created a new benchmark for political chicanery.
Such a behaviour of moral reverse, after giving individual affidavits to the Governor and parading their MLAs in front of the President, is an uncanny act by anyone who believes in societal and democratic values. Is there no value to a public pledge before the highest constitutional authority in the country
H D Deve Gowda and his son have held the state ransom for the last one and half months to their political machinations. In the process, they have also misled the highest constitutional functionaries during discharge of their duties.
