HD Devegowda and his illustrious son HDK have been royal pain in Karnataka's neck for over two decades. But we have learnt to tolerate these political, power hungry, publicity craving, corrupt duo over a period of time. However the last straw in the collective patience of Karnataka's people in general and bangalore in particular was his so called celebratory rally on 17th - Oct- 2008. The traffic around the city came to a standstill for over 7 hours. The city was converted into a huge tavern and trash can. Truck loads or should i say bus loads of people were brought in from surrounding villages. The rumour has it that they were all plied with money and booze. Over 10 crore was spent for this "Celebration", leaving bangaloreans tired, unhappy and disgruntled due to the inconvenience caused. Thats one part of story.
A decent politico would have apologized to the general public and let the matter drop. yes, we would have been unhappy for a few days, but public memory is short. We would have forgotten this issue over time. But not Mr. HDK. After all, why should he waste his breath apologizing to the "Non-Voting" community? we are of course not valuable to him. He has the audacity to give statements in the media saying "my party will hold rallies whenever needed." and why are you bangaloreans whining? Mr. HDK is Karnataka's answer to Raj Thackre. At least RT has the decency not to divide his State's people. His anguish is against other states, whether right or not. But Mr HDK has stooped lower than that and trying to pit the Bangaloreans and the rural masses against each other.
I have few questions for Mr. HDK.
Mr. HDK have you no shame whatsoever? How did you get over 10 crores that was spent on this rally to protest Government's maladministration? and Why did people have to plied with money, food and booze to protest against injustice?
