   C hikballapur Lok Sabha constituency bordering the districts of neighboring Andhra Pradesh is by and large typical to the scenario of the adjoining region.The district is notoriously known for its extreme climate,depleting ground water table,exploitation of natural resources and at the same time the tireless efforts of the peasant community. Irrespective of the adverse factors all along the farmers here go out of the way to get the maximum yield with the help of the minimum water they are left with these days.The district continues to occupy the number one position along with Kolar in the production of milk,grapes,silk,leafy and other vegetables coupled by horticultural products. Chikballapur district was carved from the erstwhile undivided Kolar district on 23 August 2007 and by and large Telugu is the language for communication at home and elsewhere although the natives are quiet fluent in Kannada as well. Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya,the legendary visionary state

S umalatha,multilingual film star turned Independent candidate from Mandya Lok Sabha constituency has become subject matter for hot discussion in political circles these days while the mammoth turn out of fans during her filing of nomination papers last week has sent shock waves to the top brass of ruling Janata Dal Secular party. image source : economictimes.indiatimes.com All these days she had preferred to be in the side wings of main stream politics as long as her late husband,actor MH Ambareesh played an active role.But after his demise a few months back,just like typical movie style she declared her intention of plunging into real politics only to serve the people of Mandya.Her defense for such a sudden decision was:The local people have heaped tremendous love,faith and affection to Ambareesh during his life time and the same was replicated in multiple folds when he passed away.Perhaps the only way to pay it back is to seek an opportunity to serve them.

A lthough the political scenario in the Southern most state Tamil Nadu looks quite confusing on the face of it but by and large and on the whole it looks that ultimately the Bharatiya Janata Party is set to become the major beneficiary. Well there are multiple reasons now being put forth in the poll bound state for foreseeing such an outcome which is quite contrary to the earlier results so far. The interesting characteristic of both the main two Dravidian parties,Dravida Munnetra Kazagham(DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazagham(AIADMK) is that they have alternately aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress whenever the national parties were in power at the center. And after sharing,enjoying the fruits of being in office both of them have found enough valid reasons to desert them and also isolate them for the subsequent term! This time around and as expected the ruling AIADMK combine is in alliance with the BJP led NDA while the main opposition par

K oppal Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka has an interesting history as the election of an Indian National Congress candidate was quashed for reasons like excessive expenditure much more than permitted by the Election Commission. image source: kannada.oneindia.com Probably in comparison with the present state of affairs and the huge expenditure indulged by the candidates hoodwinking the officials the above mentioned incident looks strange to believe but is now a fact in the history pages.It was way back in 1951 during the days when Koppal constituency was part of the Hyderabad princely state and known as Kushtagi Lok Sabha constituency. Then Sivamurthyswamy Alawandi,a renowned freedom fighter and champion of the cause for liberation from the then Hyderabad state got elected from here as an Independent candidate in spite of Congress wave across the country.He humbled Madhavarao who had contested on behalf of the Indian National Congress party.Later in the subsequent gener

image source: sundayguardianlive.com T amil Nadu politics probably has no comparison in the whole of country if you were to take the ground realities into consideration. Ever since the Dravidian parties came into existence and till date the mindset of the leaders of these regional outfits doesn’t seem to have changed for better. They still float obnoxious ideas like separate electorate, independent nation status and intoxicating stuff like that into the minds of innocent people. Perhaps there’s a long history for such a state of affairs in the Southern most part of the country. South Indian Welfare Association was the first regional party of the state taking birth in 1916.The name was changed to Justice Party after its English language daily newspaper’s name which was more known for its vocal support to the Britishers. Thanks to the imposition of Hindi on the regional states during the early sixties, the situation paved way for the Dravidian movement to stretch its r

Bengaluru,15 March(HS): K erala may be a small coastal state spread across the Western coast but the political situation here is unparalleled in comparison to any other region of the country.The state being number one in literacy is an too old thing to cherish as by and large it has no significance to the typical on goings throughout the year. image source indiatoday.in In a way the accomplishment of boasting cent percent literates,more than adding quality to the lifestyle has only contributed in a negative manner if you happen to glance over incidents of political killings and never ending list of controversies. Even many decades back Swami Vivekananda wondered as to how the visionary and religious personality Lord Shankaracharya took birth in the 'insane' land.Such utterances of great people may not augur well with Malayali speaking people also popularly referred as Mallus.But the recent catastrophes in the form of landslips,landslides,tremors,marooning of large tra

Advantage BJP if Congress cadre resolves to fight out 'injustice' meted out in seat sharing Bengaluru,14 March(HS): A s expected the ruling Janata Dal Secular has literally managed to squeeze in the coalition partner Indian National Congress to agree upon eight Lok Sabha constituencies to its fold for the ensuing April Parliamentary general elections.The JDS has got eight constituencies including Tumakuru represented by SP Muddahanumegowda of the Congress. In fact the bargaining of constituencies started with the JDS putting up a huge demand of 15 constituencies and over a period of time the number started dipping down slowly with HD Devegowda,former Prime Minister and party supremo contending that as per the 1:3 formula it should at least get 10 constituencies. Interestingly among the seats the smaller alliance partner initially put forth claim on also included many of those currently held by the Congress much to the heartburn of many a Congressmen.Chikkaballapur now being r

Veteran Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge looks perturbed over his reelection from Kalaburagi? Mallikarjun Kharge,Veteran Congress leader and leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party group in Lok Sabha with a record distinction of getting elected to the Karnataka Assembly continuously for nine times and twice from the Kalaburagi reserved Lok Sabha constituency seems to be perturbed over his winning spree in the ensuing Parliamentary polls. In fact if one were to glance at his track record of winning elections one after another in a row for 11 times it would be too difficult to relish the new game plan now set forth by the Bharatiya Janata Party for unseating him in his unconquered bastion so far. Dr Umesh Jadhav,Congress MLA from Chincholi constituency in Kalaburagi district put papers to his membership of the state Assembly Yesterday.He did so by personally handing over his resignation letter to KR Rameshkumar,Speaker of the state Assembly at the latter's house in Kol
