Both Deve Gowda and his son and former chief minister H D Kumaraswamy have arrived in Delhi amidst strong speculations of an imminent tie-up.
For the records Kumaraswamy said he or the JD(S) had nothing to do with the BJP. But off the records and away from a hounding media, channels of communication have been established between the two parties.
This is not the first time that the parties are coming together. They formed the government after the JD(S) withdrew support to the setup led the Dharam Singh of the Congress. But the JD(S) and the BJP fell apart after Deve Gowda refused to hand over the chief minister's post to the BJP under a Jammu & Kashmir type formula of rotational CMs.
In politics, the enemy of an enemy can be your friend. The JD(S) and the BJP are at loggerheads, but the Gowdas hate the Reddy brothers because the present Tourism Minister Janardhana Reddy was instrumental in filing a Rs 150 crore embezzlement case against Kumaraswamy when the latter was the CM. The logic of the JDS(S) is whoever is the enemy of the Reddys can be your friend. Even the BJP.
Now the real issue is not the floods, but the flood money that they have collected is what is causing all this trouble... believe me it is nothing else.... 1000 crores has come from centre with a promise of more, 1000 crores collected from corporate and people... the real fight is to decide who will build those houses? who will get the contracts? how they can make money from the floods... this is the issue people.... understand... BJP cares a damn about the people who are suffering from the floods... when the floods was happening don't forget Yeddi was getting a sanman for himself and did not bother for more than 24 hours... so don't get carried away...
The Reddy brothers want to recover the money they spent on 'operation lotus' Yeddi has promised to share the flood money with the party for party funds (may be some leaders also), that is why the BJP central leaders are supporting him... so this is the real politics behind the revolt...
After reading the above article it seems that BJP is now becoming party without principles. I will be shame if they rejon hands with Mr. Devegowda and Mr. Kumarswamy who are totally unreliable. In the worst situation it is better to go for fresh mandate and do not give tickets to unreliable people.
