I was talking with some kannadigas last week in my office. They all are sure BJP is going to lose karnataka in next elections and they predict alliance of congress and JDS will form govt as both may not win on their own. People are fed up with corruption and govts indifference to their problems. Most importantly they are fed up with BJP's fight for CM position and rumor is daily earning of CM is 2 crores. I want them to lose very badly as congress lost in AP in 1994 elections. That will show how resolute BJP is against corruption as it gives high command to clean up state party. | ||

Here is a list of the BJP government's 'achievements' in Karnataka: First, it has destroyed the party's reputation for discipline. There have been three chief ministers in the four years since the 2008 assembly polls -- BS Yeddyurappa [ Images ], Sadananda Gowda, and now Jagdish Shettar. The removal of the first two was marked by displays of massive indiscipline, with challenges to the BJP's leadership in Delhi before a sulky and utterly unconvincing compromise for the benefit of the television cameras. The BJP mocks poor Dr Manmohan Singh when he is criticised or belittled by his coalition partners or by his own partymen. Was Sadananda Gowda treated any better? Second, while the BJP is always painted as 'communal' by its (supposedly) secular foes, the party generally enjoyed a reputation for rising above caste. In Karnataka the BJP has not just embraced caste but enthroned it as a governing concept. Seeming completely oblivious to the degradation of politics, the BJP's apologists spoke of the manner in which they had bought peace with the Lingayats, the Vokkaligas, and the OBCs (Other Backward Castes) by making one of them the chief minister, while representatives from the other two became deputy chief ministers. The BJP mocked the Congress when the news was leaked that Congress candidates for the Uttar Pradesh [ Images ] polls were chosen on the basis of caste, and laughed again when Rahul Gandhi [ Images ] introduced Sam Pitroda [ Images ] as an 'OBC' man. Has it acted differently in Karnataka? Third, the BJP's Karnataka unit has somehow thrown the halo of a crusader against corruption around Governor Bhardwaj. Hansraj Bhardwaj was law minister in Dr Manmohan Singh's first Cabinet, at the time when Ottavio Quattrocchi [ Images ] -- he of Bofors fame -- had two hitherto-frozen bank accounts reactivated, when President's rule was imposed in Bihar by sending a fax to the President when he was in Moscow [ Images ], and so forth. How does Governor Bhardwaj suddenly gain anti-corruption credentials? By the simple expedient of warning Chief Minister Shettar -- publicly of course -- that he must not take 'tainted' men into his ministry. Jagdish Shettar went ahead anyhow. The list of ministers with cases against their names now includes Housing Minister V Somanna, Industry Minister Murugesh Nirani, Forest Minister C P Yogeshwar, and Education Minister C T Ravi. Nobody is pretending that Jagdish Shettar took in these ministers voluntarily, and everyone accepts that there was enormous pressure on him, from Delhi and by the various factions in the party's state unit. The BJP mocks Dr Manmohan Singh for having no say in the formation of his own ministry; how is the Shettar ministry any different? Do you notice anything missing from this list of achievements? Where are the infrastructure projects that the state -- not least Bengaluru [ Images ] -- desperately needs? Where are the attempts at administrative reform? (The mayor of New York City appoints the police commissioner in that metropolis; can you imagine such a devolution of power in India?) The BJP would rather point to, say, a Gujarat or a Goa [ Images ] to demonstrate its commitment to development and equity. But there have been just too many missteps recently, not just in Karnataka but demonstrated in the embracing of Babu Singh Kushwaha in Uttar Pradesh and the nomination of Anshuman Mishra to a Rajya Sabha seat from Jharkhand. As I said, no chain can be stronger than its weakest links -- and there are just far too many weak links to believe that the BJP would govern any more effectively than the Congress would in Delhi. To say that there are degrees of dishonesty is no consolation! http://www.rediff.com/news/column/column-india-is-in-a-mess/ 20120723.htm 2get and 2give may create problems, not 4get and 4give ... so double it up |
