DEVE GOWDA

The year - 1996
The gift - From order to Anarchy - A book on Devegowda's tenure as a PM.
Gifted by - The author famouse economist Prof K Venkatagiri Gowda.

This was a book that made me prejudiced and I decided Devegowda's amassing of wealth was extremely bad. I started hating him more and more. In fact the very sight of him would make my blood boil.

11th January 2010 - All these feelings in me did a complete volte - face on me. I started admiring the guts of this man. He had just called the most useless Chief Minister of Karnataka B.S. Yeddyurappa a B@$!@*D. This was amazing. Caution here though I am not against or for any party here. Its just that the caste politics being played by Mr Yeddi that ticks me off. He is a puppet in the hand of the Reddys, of course I probably would have jumped up and down with joy if Mr Yeddy had lost his seat to the politics of the Reddys. We have seen Chief Ministers of the likes of S Nijalingappa, J H Patel, etc although all of them were not in the same league they belong to the same caste as Mr Yeddy but never used caste as a platform for politics. I realised this when one of my frens for ages came up to me and said "Nam jaathi namma CM gaddi li" he got a piece of my mind. Which of course pissed him off and had sent him into hibernation. When he came back from his hibernation I told him how come ur with us i thought u would be with ppl of "Nim Jaathi". He had the sanity to realise his folly and apologised and I let bygones be bygones. Although Karnataka politics has always had caste involved to an extent, it was never this bad. The day this man is thrown out of power I will party to my heart's content.

The reason I hate him is:

> When women in a Mangalore pub were attacked by SRS goons this Chief Minister was spineless to take any action against them.

> We dont need moral policing and for God's sake we dont live in a Taliban ruled state.

> What is the point in attacking places of worships and ur intelligence machinery is an utter failure if they cant nab the culprits.\

> He blames everything on opposition conspiracy. Just shut the f#%k up.

> This one is my favourite - I met a cop I know he said "If for any god damn reason this man is removed from his post we will all party sir, we dont mind even if it is death."
