Editorial in The Telegraph on the nataka in Karnataka:
“Not much can be expected of politicians who are least interested in governance, in the interests of the people or even in any kind of ideology. President’s rule in such a situation is an admission of the defeat of the system because of the stubborn greed and egotism of a few people voted to power… Voters cannot be blamed for apathy and cynicism. They are looking at a situation in which democratic functioning has failed.”

It easy right, to blame the people?
For example, take the case of JDS. Of 224 seats, JDS capacity was to win 58 seats. What stopped them from winning more?
224-58 = 166.
Why did JDS lose in 166 constituencies? Why JDS candidates can’t get people’s faith in 166 constituencies? Weak JDS candidates – is it the problem of JDS or people? Why blame people for election results?
PS: Also replace JDS with INC or BJP & their numbers above and the same hold good.
