everything happenned only after bjp formed the govt???

think it must be the gowda-cong combination which must be behind this violent agitation...

bjp should also come out with steps to address the shortge as it is a matter of daily livelihood for the farmers...

this is politics ... for years BJP has been in opposition critisizing the govt. for everything .. now they realize that it is not easy to run the state ... now they again start critisizing the opposaition for being critical of their administration.

whatever BJP themselves did for years, now when it is being done to them, they do not like it ... LOL

I think the opposition is doing its job ... that's what they are there for .. to be critical of the govt.

Congress and JD should accept their defeat gracefully and act as a responsible opposition instead of instigating riots for trivial issues. They also should prevail upon their central government to make arrangment for fertilizer at the earliest.

by accepting the immature acts of the opposition, governance has lost its significance...

if one can keep the opposition quiet (by hook or crook), then there is future in the next elections => this is the mentality of politics...

criticism and "tit for tat" are different things...

opposition does not mean that they have to simply keepon harping against the govt.

you have to see it from voters mentality .... what matters to them ... it's not whether an issue was solved but whether an issue was raised to attention .... the opposition is least interested in solving the problem, but they want to highlight the govt's shortcomings so they can tell the people ... look what you've elected to power, we are so much better.

raising a point can be done tactfully and in so many ways... rather than an agitation...

this would imply that, in order to gain attention, the easiest way is to agitate or riot...

problems will come; the world is not perfect... and neither can all problems be fixed overnight...

and again, the intent of the opposition is not always to highlight the problem so that it may be rectified... rather it is to highlight the shortcomings which can then be utilised to its advantage...

congress has lost its cool...

the voter is fooling himself by believing that by supporting a party, he would get justice...

of course, sometimes it helps, but in most cases it leaves him clueless...
