Editorial in Deccan Herald:
“A government is a result of a contract made by political parties with the people. Coalitions are made on the basis of principles and public interest that should appeal to the people and should go beyond the personal and factional interests of individual leaders.
“If a government emerges out of the wreckage of principles and democratic norms that is witnessed in Karnataka now, it will not have the moral or political right for governance of the state, whatever way the legal and constitutional issues involved in the present situation are interpreted and resolved. The legitimacy and credibility of the political process is as important as the end result.”

…. and they wonder why brain drain?
…. and they wonder why poor HDI?
…. and they wonder why voter apathy among the youth and the middle class?
stupid rhetorical questions are not going to get us anywhere.
They KNOW they are fooling us.
They KNOW that we hate them but can’t do anything about it.
They are not afraid of us anymore.
They have taken us for granted for too long.
Don’t vote. Shoot/blow up/kill the guy who is standing for re-election. The surviving candidates will get the message.

Once we are done shooting/blowing up/killing the guy, the ‘Don’t Vote’ part becomes automatic.

People get the government they deserve. After all these jokers are elected by us. How can you expect a black dog to be white if it moves into another street in search of a crumb of bread ?. It is nothing but waste of time and energy to judge the present fall out on moral and ethical grounds. It is mere power politics. They believe every thing is fair in their effort to grab the chair. Better hair splitting is stopped
