The political drama in Karnataka only speaks volumes of the greed of MLAs for power, irrespective of the party they belong to. Voters should realise that split verdicts will only induce these sorts of ugly political games being played by political parties. It is high time voters vote decisively and get themselves a stable and good government they all deserve (Page 1, “BJP sequesters Karnataka MLAs in hotel near Delhi”, January 15).

One wonders how people’s issues are addressed when both the ruling and Opposition parties are busy planning strategies on how to capture power in an unfair manner in the State. It appears that democracy is meant for the common man and not the political class. In the absence of a clear mandate, President’s rule should be imposed to avoid making a mockery of democracy in Karnataka.

Karnataka is in the news again for all the wrong reasons. There are claims and counter-claims on the number of MLAs being enticed to quit.
Such is the level of politics in the State that a toppling game is going on, in turn subverting the people’s mandate. The unfortunate part is that people are watching this sorry spectacle, unable to do anything in this dirty game of politics.
