Deve Gowda, the cancer of Karnataka

Apparently the peer of Ramakrishna Hegde during their days of infatuation with Socialist Shanta Veere Gowda, this feudalist has done zilch for the state of Karnataka or its farmers, whom he claims to represent. Other than stabbing Hegde in his back, despite their common background, this cancer has nothing much to claim in terms of either public administration or service. Sheer arrogance, feudal attitude, lies, and cronyism are the hall mark of this vermin.
When his son Kumaraswamy took a leaf from his father's books and did one in on Dharam Singh, Deve Gowda "disowned" him, as part of the biggest publicly staged drama. Then he "forgave" him, after some time. It looked like he was doing fine on the charade he had put in after the coup, and he didn't really like his son's treachery. But then I read this haggle for transfer of power to BJP. Mind you, this comes within 48 hrs after Deve Gowda suggested that the time was "inauspicious" for power transfer!

Now I don't have any high esteem or expectations from Yediyurappa. His life time ambition has been to become the Chief Minister of Karnataka, and his accomplishments as leader of BJP and a politician in the past few decades are questionable. He has divided the party in his fight against Ananth Kumar and between them they have no integrity or desire to serve the party and state.
But how long can Karnataka deal with its leukemia, that of this Deve Gowda clan, their real estate wheelie dealies in and around Bangalore (Deve Gowda Petrol bunk, anybody?!!), and the itch to be in power from generations to generations?

Who says India is a democracy. We still pass on power from Kings to their princes, no matter how much of a scumbags they are. Wait for the Rahul Gandhis and Priyanka Gandhis to come and make their "sacrifices".
