TELANGANA IMPACT 

 Phillip to Separatists in the State? The proposed formation of a separate Telangana State by bifurcating or trifurcating Andhra Pradesh is slowly and steadily providing encouragement to separatist movements in the other States. 

The way in which the Central Government succumbed to the pressure tactics of K. Chandrashekara Rao for formation of Telangana had emboldened similar groups/parties in other States to move further to achieve their goal. More than anything, the effect is already felt among the leaders of North Karnataka region bordering AP. 

The North Karnataka region people who are under the impression that they are being slighted, may press for their own State. The muted demand for separate State may now come into open.

WITH 250 CITY FATHERS & MOTHERS: EVEN GOD CAN NOT SAVE BBMP 

The Government's decision to create 198 wards in Bruhut Bangalore Mahanagara Palike, Bangalore will definitely go to dogs. 

There will be 198 city Fathers and Mothers plus three dozen MLAs, MLCs and MPs who too will be ex-officio corporators, in addition to 20 nominated corporators all adding up to more than 250. 

One shudders to think of the future of Bangalore and the fate of Bangaloreans. The strength of BBMP will be more than the strength of the Assembly and Bangalore can ill afford the pressure of this 250 city fathers and mothers. 

There will be anarchy and development because the major casualty. Instead of making BBMP into an unmanageable body, the government can damn well create a separate state for Bangalore.

EVMs CREDIBILITY QUESTIONED: 

QUESTION MARK OVER ELECTION RESULTS

For the first time, the reliability and credibility of the Electronic Voting Machines have been questioned. A former bureaucrat has raised this issue and demonstrated how the EVMs can be manipulated through software hawking. 

Even earlier to the elections, few engineering students from AP have demonstrated how the EVMs can be manipulated so that votes cast through the EVM button can be made to register in favour of a particular candidate. if one goes deep into the matter and the election results, one will not fail to disagree with the questions raised over EVMs. 

It is time the Election Commission should clear the doubts by constituting a Commission of Enquiry consisting of highly qualified technical experts in the field.

While L.K Advani got away by a whisker, Jaswanth Singh another senior most leader had paid the price for having praised Jinnah by getting expelled from BJP.

One feel shocked at the nomination of Devaki Jain, a Brahmin by birth, to the Karnataka Minorities Commission.

Even now, with the BJP's popularity getting seriously eroded due to the recent fued, the government may invent one or the other excuses to postpone the elections.
