It is now evident in Karnataka Politics that a rubber-stamp chief minister with absolutely no administrative experience whatsoever is going to rule the roost. Why doesn't Eeshawarappa call him a 'Bachcha' (viz. Renukacharya)? How can a man who does not know the difference between a Home Secretary and a Chief Secretary be made the head os a State Government? But one good thing has emerged from this decaying matter of Karnataka Politics. Now a Lingayat Player will be ruling the state through a Gowda from Dakshina Kannada in a Lingayat-Politician Majorty environment. This is truly National (or should I say state) Integration.
Now that the War Lines have been drawn two things can happen:
One, Eeshwarappa, however pacified he may seem, is undoubtedly baying for blood. So are the Reddy brothers for having being kept out of the power sharing equation. Also are Ananth Kumar Jagadish Shettar et al. Not to forget Basavraj Bommai for that wrap on the knuckle (or slap on the face for that matter). These will be waiting for that exact moment where, they feel, Sadanand Gowda commits a political error and then they will pounce on him.
Or
Two,The Rubber-stamp effect will wear out and Mr. Sadananda Gowda will be a new-found Tiger if the Reddy Bros. & Co commit themselves to help him in by-passing Yediurappa.So in spite of having his way our Yeddy is sure to spend sleepless nights all through the remainder of the term of the party governance.
"Those who do not learn from History will be compelled to repeat it."
-George Santayana
Do you remember Emperor Ashoka (before the Kalinga war i.e)? He too spent sleepless nights fearing one or all of his brothers would kill him and he ended up killing them all.Here the killing may not be physical (I sure hope so!), but there will be attempts from both sides for Political (not physical) Assassinations. Eventually the party like a dying giant star will collapse on itself and will become a big black hole and will not be heard of for a long long time. Cheers to that.
The BJP which, as it is, is deficient in able national leadership which enjoys the respect of all its members, is faced with a new dilemma. The Choice is between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea. Choose Yeddy and gang, you'll lose loyal party workers who are older and politically more mature than Mr. Loose Pants. On the other side, if they choose loyalists, Yeddy will throw a tantrum like a child who has not been given candy in a candy store and bring the 'house' down.
By the way, did any one see Venkaiah Naidu's Laptop? Seems like he had it when he went in and didn't when he left the negotiations. Sympathies. May be Prerana Trust can donate him one.
