Swearing in in Karnataka State on a Friday

Swearing in in Karnataka State on a Friday

As leader BSY in Karnataka State was sworn in for the fourth time with the images relayed in 6' o clock news prime, the motive for Govt formation was cloaked in a web of secrecy as public read the path ahead was not that easy. Political pundits were fumbled, the central leadership by no means humbled, this swearing in of BSY for second time in 15 months betrayed signs of his being tense. Howsoever hard he may try to win the trust vote the imprint of an unstable govt hanging by a thread was something easy to boast. What looks enviable are polls which may happen under a year or two, by that time the leader would be able to fight away chair blues.

Karnataka the State with more than 20 districts and thousand talukas need to be governed by a strong leader with a flourishing mandate and a will to perform with no enduring wait. The Speaker of Karnataka House has been polished enough to disqualify three of the 15 rebels hoping against hope that remaining 12 would return to their party fold.

Karnataka the State has been caught in a hotbed of uncertainty and what looks certain are big ticket decisions the Govt won't be able to take in. The State doesn't have the benefit of a large coastline in effect the maritime challenges are next to nil in a State with a low rate of crime. The upsurge of support for BSY may wane over months if he is not able to perform with his chums. The gravity of challenges may weigh him down, it is for BSY to employ deft skills to navigate through challenges while retaining the Crown.

The Central Leadership in a year or so would have a thing or two to do including convincing BSY to step aside and let another Lingayat Leadership spring a surprise. In the first place the Central Leadership should not have given a go ahead to BSY to stake claim as the State pored over the possibility of having President Rule with no one to blame. The oft-repeated solution of imposing Prez Rule would have been fine as the State was caught in a whirlwind of chaos and no shine.
The political churning in Karnataka mirrors opportunism at its best with those credited with this thunder not willing to reveal the size of their vest. A time would come when swearing in would take place by those sporting vest and that would be an act carried out in jest. From South America to South Asia all are alarmed by turn of events in the State, they root for political stability eschewing any form of bait.

As for rebels, which number 12 with no bubbles, they may be flown from Mumbai a city that receives showers more than in a place like Huawei post trust vote to explore the possibility of they again adorning the House Coat with expressions of Gloat. That looks dismal in Bengaluru which is far away from Indonesia's Buru.

None of the future govt in Karnataka would be safe from horse trading cushion and craze

None of the future govt in Karnataka would be safe from horse trading cushion and craze

After Opposition defeated trust vote in Karnataka House they immediately sought net connection where they could browse. Chief Minister tendered his resignation paving way for Opposition MLAs (BJP MLAs) to go on a vacation. They were expected to meet in a resort near Bengaluru where they could revisit their strategy and seek affection from places in Rajasthan as far as Churu. That meet did not happen and still doors were open to sneak in horse trading cushion. This trust vote discussion which carried on for four days was meant to send diatribe to opponents from either side and future of any probable Govt doesn't look to be bright. Though opposition MLAs post trust vote flashed V sign in a subtle message that won't be kind and those 15 rebel MLAs confined to Mumbai were getting desperate to reach Bengaluru and for this they had established connection to places like Kingsway. The roadmap of bringing down the HDK Govt in Karnataka was very much prepared in a locale like New Delhi with leaders like BSY, HDK and their family members watching every hour the House proceedings on a telly.

The reading is no future Govt would be safe and righteous path would be to hold polls afresh as that alone can dilute the power stress. On another hand in another blooper the US has offered to mediate on J-K something that Indian policy makers in the long run won't find OK. On J-K impasse India never offered an olive branch to US as the latter has on Afghanistan intervention shed enough sweat and tears. The US is finding it hard to find a way out of Afghanistan which in future at a different point of time would hold film festival on the lines of Cannes.

Overseas bond sale move should be abandoned at any cost

The Govt's plan to raise $ 10 billion in first overseas bond sale by October is fraught with deep consequences and the Govt would be well advised to not seek this traction to raise capital. The domestic debt burden can rise by miles if there is a vast depreciation in Indian Rupee against  the currency in which the debt is denominated and given the sovereign guarantee it would have to be repaid no matter where the earth moves.
