    “In his tenure, Sadananda Gowda did good work and the performance of our government was very good.

    The game has gone for over a year now. The game of musical chairs, that is. With the BJP central leadership unable to make up its mind on how to deal with the fresh rebellion a fortnight from the Yeddyurappa camp, it let the music flow and keep the chief...

    Oh no, not again. That’s the familiar groan every time, yes, every time B S Yeddyurappa decides to raise the banner of revolt. This chief minister-turned-thorn in the BJP flesh has clearly emerged as the Principal of the Rebel Politicians College of India. The optimist in him refuses to die...

    Yet another wicket has fallen in Karnataka. This time, Law and Urban Development minister Suresh Kumar. And the charges, pretty familiar. Suresh Kumar was accused of securing allotment of residential sites through his family members (mother and daughter), in violation of rules. Kumar decided to resign on moral grounds, besides...

    Raj Thackeray is a reformed man. He is not taking part in the Bharat Bandh today. “Holding a bandh has become an old weapon. It is better if some thought is put into finding solutions,” he said. This is good news. For Raj’s absence would mean hopefully lesser number of...

    In the end, it turned out to be one of those melodramatic speeches, without delivering the knock-out punch. B S Yeddyurappa was all fire and brimstone at his press conference just a while back, blaming Karnataka chief minister Sadananda Gowda and Ananth Kumar for all the mess he is in....
