Within four years, the JD(S), riding purely on blackmail and extreme haughtiness has reduced itself to a nonentity. It is a failed business enterprise. As a certain Milind, a party spokesperson noted, the political suicide of the JD(S) was scripted by (Deve Gowda-blessed) the mass exodus of senior leaders. He understandably omitted mentioning the worst sort of rug-pulling his CEO indulged in. [...] [...] In an earlier post, I had noted that Deve Gowda & co has virtually gifted this election to the BJP.

I guess now a days he is gaining a FAME, remember he challenged Bangarappa to opt for one place when Banarappa had stood in Soraba also. You know, at least we don't want see development like Gulbarga (Place of Karge and Dharma Sighing) in state... Sandeep,

I have seen him appear on TV discussions and he sounds like a joker! The other day, he was actually reading out from written notes to some queries put forth by, of all people, Prannoy Roy, who didnt miss the chance to take potshots at him! I wonder if this impression is only because he is not comfortable with the English language or he does that in Kannada too! Yediyurappa doesnt inspire much confidence if you hear him speak.

Darn, Yediyurappa went to jail during the Emergency, and Ananth has been with the party all his life, and so is Sadananda Gowda isn't he? What is surprising is despite the strong support the BJP enjoys on the coast, it has no state level leader from the Bunt and Konkani communities. But the BJP must beware. No leader can be taken for granted if they haven't risen thru the ranks. See what happened in the case of Manohar Parikar's sishya Digambar Kamath who defected to the Congress, taking advantage of the anti-Marathi mood in hte Goa unit of the party. The BJP's problem seems to be a problem of plenty - plenty of dedicated party workers from every community, but just a few leaders who are almost power hungry. Notably Ananth Kumar has been a great disappointment. He has been an incompetent minister and middling good legislator and gets re-elected only due to his hardworking wife. Maybe Karnataka is behind Gujarat and Rajasthan on the curve thpough ahead of MP. But if the party is not careful it may see Karnataka go the way of UP, which is now all but lost to the BJP. Sandeep,
