The first fissures have appeared in the JD(S)-BJP coalition government. The state BJP president D.V. Sadananda Gowda's comments on the appointments made by the JD(S) to the boards and corporations have provoked a furious response from the Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who says if he is ready to go to the polls.
Although both parties are now trying to back-pedal, the controversy has thrown a big question mark over the durability of the government.
What do you think? Will the government last 40 months? Or not? Will the BJP get a chance at the chief ministership? Or not? Join the debate. Leave a comment. Be heard.
looking 2 the situations it seems like the govt is goin 2 fall….soon….
according 2 me this is not gonna happen again…because..these people
hav learnt from the xperience of the elders of the govt…as we saw 2day..sadananda has asked apology..and reasoned out his agony against the govt in a smooth way….which has almost solved the problem…
ministers from both the parties r trying 2 maintain peace and coordination as far as possible….
so there is no question of the govt falling 4 another 10 months….
Politicians all belong to one family. They have time and again demonstrated that the genetic material that they carry is from one mother root. There is not one party that has not shared bed with another, directly or indirectly, at one point of time or another. The ruling formation in Karnataka today is one more progeny of incest. (I have commented elaborately on this elsewhere). Inbreeding, as we know, does not give birth to normal, healthy, longliving offspring. You still want to know about the longevity of this government? That also explains the fate of us, the electorate. We are doomed for ever because children born of incest are not known to have any positive attributes. Why else have we stopped producing leaders of vision?
Yes i think this govt will last for 40 months as both of them are new to Govt .JD(s) wants to do all the good things to people to regain its power after 40 months and as BJP will also try to do good things during there tenture.After that period JD(s) will split from BJP and fight independently also the same with BJP.
After 40 months(finishing election) god only must save our karnataka.
which ever the govt comes to rule either Congress,BJP,or JD(s).
If this government cannot hold for 40 months, what other combination do we have? Can Siddu make something with congress + few from JD (S)?
I think this government will hold because there is no other combination which can work. and many of MLA’s does want to go to polls.
Sadananda Gowda wants to do a re-make of what Devegowda did to Dharam. It was Dharam’s Karma which made him to listen to Our ‘Nela son’ ‘Mande illa’. Grand son of soil with sail thro as he enjoys higer support from brain less and bone less yadiuri and gang.
Who is the leader in karnataka on whom we can pin hopes? I am seeing the dark cloud without any stars.
I dont see why anyone in congress nurture DK Shivakumar and make him understand what constitues CM material, similarly Aaraga Gnanendra in BJP and Mahima patel in JD. when will parties start to think of grooming CM capable candidates for future?
Kumaraswamyof JD(U) is playing the part of the surrogate mother and it is natural that the real mother in BJP who was unable to conceive becomes jealous when the surrogate mother gives birth to a child forgetting there was an honourable agreement about sharing. The outburst from sadananda Gowda was natural instictive protective reaction because it appers even at the age of three months with the child receiving lots of love seem to be getting attached to surrogate mother. Since this type of relationship is of rcent origin these emotional high are expected . But since both are primarily interested in the well being of the child I guess things will simmer down for they have to zalously guard it from being highjacked which no one wants and both may make sacrifices to this end. The upshot is the relationship will hold belying the doomsday scenerio painted by the other interested parties
40 months!! I don’t think so…
IMHO, Max. tht I guess is 20 months. Once Kumar and Co is done with there quota of 20 months, they are gonna give a slip to BJP.
The government will last till Kumaraswamy is the CM. After 20 months when Kumaraswamy has to hand over power to BJP, he will `realise’ that BJP is `communal’ and ditch them for fresh elections. It will be `so near, yet so far’ for BSY while Anantha Kumar will be mighty pleased. Both parties will spurn each other till the next elections, only to get back together to share power in the event of a hung assembly. So much for ideologies!!
In the meanwhile, Deve Gowda will be a mighty pleased for his `nelson’………
agree with Anupama there.
After 20 months when Kumaraswamy has to hand over power to BJP, he will `realise’ that BJP is `communal’ and ditch them for fresh elections.
lol. thats politics for you. :)
If it’s all so clear that the JD(S)—should we be using the “S” suffix any longer?—if it is all so clear that the JD(S) will ditch BJP after 20 months, what explains the BJP’s confidence in tying up with the JD(S) in the first place and then giving the first shot at the chief ministership to a party which won fewer seats than it?
When poojari and Kharge were ‘firing’ Gowda during Congress-JDS days, did high command of congress object? No. Same thing here. Some one has to keep attacking JDS partner or Gowda or CM to prove ‘juttu kottilla’ policy. Sadananda Gowda is poojari of BJP.
The marriage of convenience but not of conviction between the strange bed fellows JD(S) and BJP in Karnataka is bound to abort sooner than later.
Should they disprove my augury I am ever ready to swallow my comment.
I think the BJP joined hands with JDS only to taste `some’ power which has eluded it for so long….Kumaraswamy would, in any case, not have given BSY the post of CM despite his party being a smaller group….atleast now, the BJP is in power and BSY can rest in peace that he has the epithet of former DCM instead of being an opposition leader for the rest of his life..something is better than nothing, i guess…but you never know, he may turn out to be a CM also….
It will not be Kumaaraswamy who will be ditching BJP after 20 months of honey-moon, but it will be H.D.Deve Gowda who will do the job to ensure that his son continues in the gaadi without the BJP.
why is yediyurappa going to germany.when he is gone who will take care of the garbage in bangalore
really does not make any differance if the coalition collapses.a different group of clowns will take over.koomarasamy appointed his brother revanna as the chairman of karnataka power corporation, this action proves beyond any doubt that these jokers have no integrity.shameless is the word that comes to
my mind.so as vs naipaul said india will go on.and the quality of life for the common man will deteriorate very very fast.remember that buffoon sm krishna started on a padayatre during the time when there were no rains,he was supposed to walk upto talakaveri, but somewhere around kengari he decided to cover the remaining distance by car.how could his walking to talakaveri get rains.ever since independance we are being governed by a set of selfish and greedy idiots.
I hope HDK’s govt will last for remaining period. but i have doubt whether yedi will takeover CM gadi or not. by the time HDK completes 20 months, his father (god father) will play a tricky roll to make hdk’s seat to continue as CM
