A front-page story in today’s Indian Express reveals what everybody has suspected for long but few have been able to say aloud. H.D. Deve Gowda & Sons are opposed to the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor project not because “farmers” will lose their land because the former prime minister’s son and the current chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has 47 acres next to the planned expressway.
It HAS to be some vested intrest… how else would you explain the Gowdas’ sudden concern for the poor farmer.
If you dig deep, ALL their issues whether its the BMIC or the Bangalore Metro has some personal effect on Karnataka’s version of the Gandhi family…
In the world we live where our political class has no shame, what difference does this revelation make? Will HDK resign? Will Deve Gowda take sanyas from political life? Most will just accept that this is the way Indian political system works and NICE will be forgotten. Or is this the tipping point for Deve Gowda? Will he meet his waterloo against Kheny of NICE.
Indian Express should be admired for this revelation.
Now is the time for all the humble farmers (big and / or small) to slit their throats by themselves !!! Now, what about the digging of the road that was done yesterday night? Anyone cares to answer?

not a convincing story. a churumuri link is not worth it. johnson should read the original agreement between nice and the state govt to understand what's wrong with the project. it is another matter that it was deve gowda and co. that drafted and signed the agreement.
