Going purely by the Gregorian calendar, which may or may not be the one they use in the Deve Gowda household, H.D. Kumaraswamy is in the last fortnight of his stint as chief minister of Karnataka.
After promising the moon and more, the youthful CM has spent the better part of his tenure burnishing his image, sleeping around in the villages, popping up for the flashbulbs. Dozens of scandals have dogged the administration, and the spectre of sleaze has hung over the reigning family like a thick smog.
His son Nikhil Gowda has been in the news for the wrong reasons, and HDK himself has been accused of making strange incursions. The BJP has been kept on the tenterhooks all through the last three months on the “transfer of power”, and in a rather late epiphany, Kumaraswamy has said the alliance has cost the JDS its secular image.
So, what is the one question you are dying to ask the son of the son of the soil, Haradanahalli Devegowda Kumaraswamy? Please keep your questions short and civil.

Is it true that your father has called up Forbes magazine and asked why your family had still not been included in the list of dollar-millionaires despite all the hard work put in by all members of the family during your 20-month tenure?

Saar …do u remember my friend gauthama , you and I had two-by-three cofee in ramnagara in the middle of the night when u were managing your father’s election campaign (which he lost)? Can we do that again for old time’s sake…you are my model ‘manager’…….
19 September 2007 at 1:58 am
how can this be democracy? when we went to elections last time you were not the CM candidate. By some magic you became the CM. Now the question of who will be the next guy is also left to some magic.
Who the hell are you to decide what will be the next govt? And who the hell is deve gowda, what mandate does he have?
You guys have reduced us to cattle and elections to an obligation. yaarige yaavaga beku aaga raajya maaD bahuda?

Sir, you claimed to get involved more in producing kannada films after the tenure of Chiefministership. Will you episode of becoming CM and handing over be first of your film stories?

What will you do after you (if at all) transfer the power to BJP?
24 September 2007 at 12:29 am
I have many:
In case of BMIC you talk about farmers, in case of chamalapura?
When you started your seat you wanted BJP. Now?
You went against party chief but still you are in party. How?
How did your father suddenly came into picture for power transfer. How?
Do you have affair with Radhika?
How come your party members keep quite when you, your father, your brother take over seats leaving those experienced party people?
…
24 September 2007 at 5:14 pm
Will Ramanagaram be the next capital of this state?
When your father was the PM and his crony the civial aviation minister, not surprisingly, no support was given to BIAL. Contrary, your father raised a ruckus on the extent of land, Now why this sudden urge in having an airport at Hassan with so many facilities listed? Why not show the same initiative and urge towards Mysore, which merits one than Hassan?
24 September 2007 at 5:16 pm
You wanted to be CM with BJP support and only during the fag end of your time, did you realise the image loss your party suffered for aligning with BJP.. What are you trying to prove? How selfish and stupid you are??
24 September 2007 at 5:18 pm
Your father cried hoarse that he is a mannina maga..pro farmer blah blah
Why is there a sudden silence when it comes to Nandagudi SEZ, Chamalapura?

Onde Ondu saari Yee Prashne Kelo aase…
You seem to speak from more than one tongue. Would you be kind enough to open your mouth on a TV channel for people of Karnataka to ascertain if you have multiple tongues, like your father?
Each tongue of your dad spoke differently than other. At any given time, you could expect him to say ‘he is against alliance with BJP’ or ‘the alliance was a good deed’. Or this gem – “JDS legislatures and My son went against me” or “My son saved my party by joining with BJP”.
We are very sure you have inherited Devegowda genes from the way you are speaking. Nimma nalige swlpa torisidare, Namage khanditavagiyu lavalesha samshayavu uliyuvudilla.

it is a shame of being a kannadiga after watching what the gowdas has done.now it is the responsibility of every kannadiga to teach a lesson to this notorious family.

The entire family is a disgrace to Karnataka.
