    Louis D'Souza, Udupi/Kuwait yes accept the challenge the congress will be in the third place in the next election. I think you forgot the results of recent ZP/TP election. In next election BJP will be in the first place, JDS second and then atlast congress in the third place.

    People don’t have brains, No difference between HDK & BSY(Tom & Jerry) Its congress who is going to come into power in next election. I am ready to accept challenge. People have come to know that both JDS & BJP during their tenure indulged in corrupt practices. Now both BSY & HDK busy in pulling each shorts. Both parties are equally corrupt. HDK cannot pull minorities we are not pagans, God has given us wishdom. Just see how those farmers voted for BJP and in return got lathi from police. Congress is the only party where there is justice and concern for minorities.

    IT IS GOOD THAT BJP CONTINUES TO RULE KARNATAKA. BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY STATE THAT CAN HAVE COME CONSOLATION PRIZE FOR BJP. MANMOHANJI SAID "ADVANI THINKS THAT BECOMING PRIME MINISTER IS HIS BIRTHRIGHT". WHAT HE SAID IS FULLY RIGHT. BJP THINKS THAT IT CAN WIN EVERYWHERE. BUT THIS IS BUILDING CASTLES IN THE AIR. IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTIONS, I FEEL STORNGLY BJP WILL LOSE ITS DEPOSITES. THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE THE BJP (OPPOSITION) LEADER IS SUSHMAJI, WHO WANTS TO SHAVE HER HEAD, EAT GROUND NUTS AND SLEEP ON THE FLOOR.

    ULTIMATELY WHETHER SHE LIKES OR NOT, SHE WILL HAVE TO SHAVE HER HEAD AFTER THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTIONS, SHE WILL HAVE TO SLEEP ON FLOOR AND SHE WILL HAVE TO EAT ONLY GROUND NUTS. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF BJP. JDS, WIL WIN IN KARNATAKA. CONGRESS MUST SUPPORT THEM. THIS PREDICTION WILL COME TRUE IN ANOTHER 15 MONTHS. TILL THEN WAIT AND WATCH.

    Hey Guru,
    Ask any school going kid who are the two most corrupt people in Karnataka and they will tell you who is who. What is alarming is now even educated people have started taking sides with these two corrupt idiots.

    Corruption is so rampant in Karnataka even a school boy will tell you who is No. 1 and No.2 in Karnataka. These two parties have left Congress far far behind and what is astonishing is even educated people are now patronizing corruption.

    Ravindra Nayak,
    What you said , is the only ultimate truth. Politics is no more social service. Its Business practiced by men with money and muscle power aspiring for more and more, further strenghened by criminals to mask their deadly fast and cover-up future operation. Unless otherwwise common man wake-up from deep slumber and learn call spasde a spade, things wont change.
    Anyway, in democracy 'Deri hai , andher nahin'.

    These congress leaders are changing the party out of frustration and it will be of no use for the party. Unless the useless congress leaders like Fernandes, Poojary ot Moily go away and join BJP or JDS, congress party will have no gains whatsoever. The people have got rid of them, so the party should dump them

    I argee with Nagesh naik.
    One more thing if changing religion is crime and people wants to bring Law against it .why there should not be Law for changing party like this.
    changing party only for money.Why people are against BJP.All political parties are same they come to power to make money for themself .This time people are ginen chance to BJP let them also enjoy this occasion.In the olden days people who wanted to do social work and charity work.they used to join politics and serve people.Now all criminals.Gunads who want to avoide law they are joining politics,and making money as well as they do thier own dirty worhs also .Because when your in poltics your are auotmatically saved by your god fathers who are in power.

    Its really shocking to see Mr. Abul Majeed join JDS. After being a active member in COngress for so many years.
    As Bharathi said: if somebody give more money they will jump to other party. Nowadays people are only money minded. How to trust these type of people. JDS will realize this after some time.

    Bharathi, Banagalore, don't worry what your concern is geniune but here they are not MLAs and not selling themselves to JDS.They were marginalised in Cong as they feels and decided to quit.BABYANNA(RAI)time is ripe to change the 'baton' of DCC leadership to second line young cong leaders.Congress in DK/UDUPI need to revitalise as yester years with young enthusistic Cong workers.

    This is a good move by some so called congress workers.Anyhow this will benefit congress in the next election because there will be triangular contest.You need less votes required compared to a two party competition.Now many hindu votes will be diverted to JDS and thus congress will gain.At the same the election campaign expenses of congress candidates will be reduced as JDS will spend heavy to get BJP votes to JDS. The real congress votes are not for sale.

    Whilst everybody knows that H D Kumaraswamy is no better option to B S Yeddyurappa why should we elite people of Karnataka blindly follow them? By jumping from one party to another you are selling your morale. By this you should also know that you are adversely strengthen BJP as it will split the votes between JD(S) and Congress.
