When these politicians are cororepatis and owners of vast land agri/othrwise one should ask how they were able to get that much money. Defenetey all these are ancestral properties. I think there is no difference bet’ these neo rich and those who have been branded as Lan mafias, mine owners etc. Whom we should select.

Remmember this is what they have claimed. The actual figures can be much much higher. When Kumaranna’s mistress Radhika’s house was raided the tax inspectors found a couple of crores and other assets very much disproportionate to her income. There might be many Radhika’s.
It is a popular rumor that in the upcoming assembly elections DG is spending 5 crores of rupees per candidate. DG plans to concentrate on 20 seats. Ones he gets that he can again play his dirty games.

I was the supplier to KMF and was there when it put a plant on Airport to manufacture milk pouches. As the the new machines were running, I made a comment on the machines which were excellent (windsor-klockner) and may have costed 5 crores for the entire project.
Then, the erection engineer who had come from Bomaby, a kannadiga turned to me and said ‘if it were you or I, we would have spent the 5 crores but because KMF is headed my ‘son of son of soil’ the total project has gone over 3 times.
That is the time, I decided not to vote for these ‘son and grand childrens and great grand childrens (in the future) of soils.’ God save Karnataka and India.

Interesting dynamics here. Instead of hiding his ill gotten-wealth as the older generations of politicians have done, HDK is flaunting it (at least some of it). I think he is playing Mayawati’s game of appearing to make use of his political offices to gain wealth and notoriety. That behavior did affect Mayawati’s vote bank in a peculiar way. Her “caste-brethren” felt thrilled/empowered by the fact that one of their kind could reach such ‘exalted’ status and came to her defense.
HDK seems to be doing what economists may term as ‘signaling’. In other words, informing both his constituency in general (mostly vokkaligas of a certain region) as well as MLAs, MPs, and party workers in particular, that he has wealth and is willing to spend it on them.
Quite Machiavellian.
