there is a quote which says you can fool some some people for some time-but you cannot fool all the people all the time-but kudos to deve gowda and progeny for attempting the impossible and almost succeeding.
      consider deve gowdas track record-betrayed veerendra patil-ramakrishna hegde-dharam singh-the bjp-his own party-there is an award known as the ignobel award for dubious achievements and outright foolishness-i on behalf of the citizens of karnataka would like to nominate deve gowda and family for the ignobel award for killing their political fortunes and their party, and ultimately making their party a family forum-probably the only forum left for this former pm-is that of chairman oh hassan muncipality.
           power corrupts-and absolute power corrupts absolutely-lord acton-there is a saying in kannada-manganige manikya bandha hage-the literal translation is that when a monkey discovers a gem the monkey, does not know what is to be done with the gem-because it does not know what has come to it.
            a band of looters-from humble beginnings of a few acres in holenarasipura-this family may be richer than the ambanis-who has gone into the assets of our politicians-why are we sitting quiet.
         the reason for this blog is that there are procedures in place to check corruption-the right of information act-you and i can ask for details of income tax details and sources of income and we have to be answered.
               at times we feel we are banging our heads against stone walls-but these things have to be done-as free citzens of a free country-we have to excersise our rights.
  the mulayam yadavs, the lalloo yadavs, the mayawatis,the tytlers,the sonias and rahuls have all survived because of a compliant subjugated and terrified populace-not willing to tangle with the system-we had a mahatma and a jayaprakash narayan-when will we their likes again to revolutionise the system-or am i hoping for utopia-what is wrong with dreaming!
