Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy at a post-budget press conference asked, “What is wrong if I give a little more to the districts that voted for our party?” He was talking about Mandya, Hassan and Ramanagara districts that voted overwhelmingly for JD(S) and got special attention in his budget.

Last week I received a video clip on WhatsApp showing our recently elected MLA from Chamundeshwari Constituency G.T. Devegowda (GTD) replying to some questions posed by an English news channel.

Governor, the word has a grand ring to it. And why not? After all, a Governor lives in a grand manor, dines in grand manner, travels in a grand private jet and graces only grand occasions. No wonder only grand-fathers and grand-mothers become Governors in their grand-old-age. But, it is also a home where loyalists…
We are blessed to have such benevolent leaders who are fighting so hard to get an opportunity to serve us! If you are not in this denial and have a sense of reality, then it is clear they are fighting to “rule” us, not serve us. They want to rule because a ruler takes what…
He is considered the operations man of the BJP. The driving force behind the steady rise of the party across the country.
