There it goes, out of the window..my resolution not to write about the politicians..
But these guys are such great entertainers.. Try as you might, can't really ignore them..They just love hogging the limelight..And in what ways..
B.S. Yeddyurappa resigned..finally..after a week in power..with all hullaboo of being the first BJP Chief Minister of any south indian state..
The hanging balance with a pact of 20 months power sharing has been doing some drastically amusing see-saw movement the last three weeks providing some great entertainment to the countrymen..Deve Gowda has suddenly woken up from his slumber (no pun intended) with sudden rise in patriotism towards Karnataka, which has been facing some real problems in governace and administration under his rule..Let's not even think about the Karnataka being on the top three list of highest concentration of farmer suicides. Now, he has suddenly opened eyes towards a 'secularist state' and even if you try to close your eyes to it, can't really ignore who his sleeping partner (no pun again) was for the last 20 months..
A quick flashback: No single party majority in the last elections(2004) -> BJP single largest party -> every party talks to every one else as well as against -> an unlikely duo of JD(S) and BJP coalition with a pact of 20 months power sharing -> JD(S) takes over first as the first stake is theirs in the mutual blackmail -> 20 months over -> party over -> JD(S) pulls out -> national drama -> reunites and BJP does the victory dance -> Deve Gouda re-awakens with an MoU which prove to be the divorce papers -> final "Talaaq"(hopefully).
Suspended animation!!!
Animated suspension..President's rule , re-election or another coalition..These people have lost it..completely..
Can you guys,the politicians i mean, please realise, we are all watching you..And this isn't, i repeat, isn't "The Great Indian Stand-up Comedy Show".
Footnote: Keep your eyes open as the drama unfolds..Gets me thinking why we have failed to create alternative options in politics anywhere in India, Be it Narendra Modi in Gujarat, CPI(M) in WB or be it Mr Naveen Patnaik in my state.
