Karnataka polls

Karnataka polls are scheduled for May 10,2008 .I feel the Karnataka electorate should vote for a single party rule.The largest single party should have simple majority to form a government on its own strength.In the event of a fractured mandate ,national parties like Congress and BJP would again be at the mercy of the smaller regional parties.
Once bitten twice shy .
Both Congress and BJP have learnt bitter lessons from the aging wily politician manniana maga Deve Gowda and his two sons. An hung assembly would once again make Deve Gowda the King maker.Public at large were disillusioned with HDK's refusal to hand over the reins to BSY last time.Despite this HDK,appears to be the most popular among the prospective CM candidates . Strange and inexplicable are the ways of the learned and knowledgable Indian electorate . Probably he appeared to be honest and simple in his approach and was fairly good at cheap gimmicks.
Besides the national parties , the DMK ,and TN political parties are keenly awaiting the Karnataka poll results. A congress ruled Karnataka would be in the DMK's wishlist.It would expect the congress government in Karnataka to resolve the Hognekal dispute to the mutual satisfaction of both the states.On the other hand a BJP win or a coalition government could further hot up and escalate the issue or it might go the Cauvery way as an unresolved and perennial dispute between the two neighbouring states .
Whatever may be the outcome ,and whoever occupies the saddle ,one fondly hopes the new incumbent government would in right earnest address to the growing needs of the metro and maintain cordial relations with its neighbouring states .
