How power hungry can you get?

It is sad but true that 'Absolute power corrupts absolutely'. In the case of Karnataka since there was no decisive verdict in the last elections, the BJP and the JD(U) formed a coalition of sorts, with the JD(U) nominating Mr.Kumaraswamy, the son of the ex prime minister, H.D Deva gowda as the Chief minister of Karnataka for a period of 2 years and a few months. Then after that time was up, the power was to be transferred to the BJP nominee, mr.B S Yeddyurappa. But as the day came near it was obvious to all that the JD(U) wanted to keep the pie to itself and that it was in no mood to share.
As a result of such power hungry moves by Kumaraswamy and his father H.D Deva gowda, the government had to be dismissed and the Presidents rule imposed on the state of Karnataka. In the end it is the people who had to suffer because of the ambitions of the father and son duo. And there were a lot of meetings between the three players on the scene, the Congress party, the BJP party and the JD(U). Many thought that the JD(U) was going to form the government but the Congress party was not willing to trust someone who does not really hesitate to do just about anything to hold on to power. In the end, the JD(U) has done a turnaroud and has given letters of support to the governer of Karnataka indicating that it will support the BJP nominee B S Yeddyurappa as the next chief minister unconditionally. Had they honoured the deal that they had made originally, no one would have to go through all this tension and headache . It seems that the saying 'there is no honor amongst thieves' is all so true in the state of Karnataka.
