Devegowda family relies heavily on divine power to retain power The temple run spree of HD Kumaraswamy, Chief Minister of the Janata Dal Secular- Congress alliance government continues to keep going unabated and the pace has dwindled now with the ten days state legislature session scheduled to commence from 10 December in Belagavi Suvarna Soudha. HD Kumaraswamy has reiterated umpteen number of time that he has occupied the chief minister’s position only because of the grace of almighty although the people of the state gave only 38 legislators to the party in the state Assembly. HD Devegowda family is again seeking divine blessings to manage the unstable power boat which has started making dangerous tilts, thanks to the frequent threats of ‘Operation Kamal’ by the 104 member Bharatiya Janata Party. A 20 days yaga for the improvement of HD Kumaraswamy’s fragile health apart from totally destroying all enemies on the political front is currently on at Sringeri, the abode of

HD Kumaraswamy continues to keep media at 'safe distance'          HD Kumaraswamy,the Janata Dal Secular-Congress alliance state Chief Minister looks to have taken a complete U turn about his public stance and utterances on the functioning of media and that too within a short span of six months after taking over the reigns.Today he declared in a government function:Henceforth I shall not issue any press statements... The chief minister seems to be annoyed over the media criticism on his three diverse views within a short time frame of three hours.The dubious change of opinion in such childish fashion only further undermined the sanctity of the  constitutional position he holds. It so happened that just two days back Jayashree, a woman farmer and part of a unruly peasants group which barged into the premises of Suvarna Soudha on the outskirts of Belagavi aired her anger against the present CM.She blasted him for not making arrangements to pay dues to the sugarcane grow

HN Ananthkumar’s demise a big setback to BJP in Karnataka HN Ananthkumar’s untmimely demise has literally come as a catastrophe to the Karnataka unit of Bharatiya Janata Party. No one had ever wondered that the typical middle class boy who had transformed over a period of time into a national leader would meet such a ghastly end so soon. But ultimately fate had its last laugh. Looking back at the political history of the state Siddavanahalli Nijalingappa was the only person to become the President of All India National Congress. BD Jatti was Vice President and Acting President for some time. HD Devegowda becoming the Prime Minister and SR Bommai becoming the President of Janata Dal are notable developments as far as the state’s leaders are concerned. Although Ramakrishna Hegade nurtured an ambition of becoming the Prime Minister lost the race miserably. In that way HN Ananthkumar had a slow beginning initially but within a couple of decades his political career took the shape of mete

'Green Swamiji' continues to remain evergreen in the hearts of devotees Sri Tontada Siddalinga swamiji,pontiff of the revered Dambal-Gadag Samsthan Thontadarya Mutt in Gadag district headquarters left to heavenly abode on 20 October 2018.But his contribution for the welfare of society and commitment in restoring the environment unpolluted makes him remain in the minds and hearts of the people forever. In fact he was a much progressive seer compared to his traditional contemporaries of Veerashiva-Lingayat,one of the two dominant communities in the state of Karnataka apart from Vokkaligas who dominate in the Southern parts .Although the former are found in large numbers in the whole of North Karnataka,both of them worship Lord Shiva.Veerashiva-Lingayats happen to be vegetarians while the Vokkaligas are non vegetarians.

No one in Kerala wants to learn anything from History What we learn from history is we don't learn anything from history-Bertrand Russel. Strange it may appear but that's what ultimately remains to be a hardcore fact.Dr DS Poornananda,Professor and former Head of Department of PG Studies Research in Journalism and Mass Communications,Kuvempu University Shivamogga recalled the Nobel laureate's well known quote after touring the state of Kerala for eight days to study the after effects and the reasons behind the August calamity. He also opined:If business interests were to be a parameter for your existence then why blame the nature for your whims and fancies.In spite of several expert committees vociferously recommending a ban on human interference in the Eco sensitive Western Ghats region no commercial activity stops and people in general have no thoughts about avoiding similar holocausts in the future.Then how do you think of giving them an adieu?
