FALL FROM GRACE

The melodrama of Indian politics never ceases to exhaust its unpredictable colours.In fact with every election it throws itself to a innovative permutations and combinations with varying degree of degrading and surreptious political manipulations.The much shrewd the Indian politician makes himself out to be - a much smarter ' a deal ' is knocked out of the closet, which our FOUNDING FATHERS would have shuddered to even think of. But the very ingenuinity of the current politician bereft of any penance and sacrifices that was reminiscent in the pre- independence breed of nation builders lies in the extent to which they can auction or crookedly cook a deal even at the cost of morgating the very spirit and essence of democracy.

The recent assembly results in Karnataka and Deve Gowda's unscrupulous last ditch attempt to side with congress after horsetrading the independents is a naked manifestation of everything that can go to the lowest depths in Indian politics.In fact the the sequence of events has unshelved the validity of exit -poll results , the need by the ever hungry media to maintain its TRP quotient and hypering the suspence in its studios eating into much of the national consumer peak time.

Deve Gowda's ditching the B.J.P. would perhaps be known in the annals of hisory as THE GREAT BETRAYEL , the sustainability of much advocated coalition concept failing both at the centre and the state levels. As a key player it was his arrogance , invincibile attitude, immaturity,overconfidence,chauvinism,inability to digest power,shady deals,surreptitous commitments,unfaithful political oppertunism and wickedness that perhaps has put a last nail in his political coffin. There couldn't have been a slap more harder on his political cheek and the one more shameful than projecting himself as the KING- MAKER.

The kind of ruckus he created over Narayanan Murthys anthem scenario and the hull-bulla of corridor syndrome depicts the cunningness that is veiled in the garb of sentimentalising the issues to hogg a short term political limelight.The B.J.P.'s victory over the division of votes of the Deve Gowda's PRIVATE LIMITED PARTY is nothing that the party needs to gloat over. It was more of an anti-incumbancy factor crisped by the sympathy wave due to Gowda's betryal that worked in the favour of the winners. B.J.P has itself been an eyewitness to its major political upheavels during the past. What is required to be seen is which way the power swings in this game of musical chairs at the end of the term and to be a winner all along B.J.P. has to act beyond the ceremonial lip-service in terms of initiating people fiendly and development oriented charter. Otherwise the musical band would be obliging any one of the other parties if the present incumbant becomes a casualty on the very platform it came to power . As for Deve Gowda there couldnt have been a worse fall from the grace having groomed his own political grave with impunity that bordered on political insanity.
