The rise & fall of Karnataka politics

The Karnataka politics has made a mockery of the electorate

Who is to blame for the BJP debacle in Karnataka? The palpably enraged BJP, is blaming it all on H. D. Devegowda. But we would refrain from doing so. Gowda, his son & their party, the Janata Dal (Secular) are only partly to blame for the constitutional mess into which the Karnataka state has plunged into recently. “All the three parties are responsible for this political debacle in the state. I am fed up and thinking of a new political outfit,” Devegowda’s son Kumaraswamy told B&E.

How can BJP, a national political party with mature leadership absolve itself of being so naïve as to fall into the JD(S) trap not once but twice? The JD(S) had never promised an unconditional support to the BJP, till the very last moment Devegowda had been vacillating, citing BJP’s communal connections as the reason behind his reservations in hugging Yedyurappa. That the JD(S) did finally pull the rug under BJP’s feet exactly seven days after the first BJP Chief Minister South of Vindhyas had been sworn-in amidst much fanfare, only goes to prove that that BJP’s intelligence networks in the state provided an absolutely flawed information to their leadership. Now, the PR managers are saying that the JD(S) back-stabbed BJP because Gowda family was desperate after the mines & geology ministry. But what these spin doctors are forgetting is that if JD(S) can be blamed for being greedy, in the same breath, one should level similar charges against the BJP for sacrificing the party principles just to grab the Chief Minister’s chair.

All that the Karnataka example proves is that political parties of all hues have made the voter look gullible. But why should the electorate again & again electing the same set of power grabbers, devoid of ideology and values.
