<br/><br/> There seems to be no and to the malaise in Karnataka politics. The ongoing crisis was perhaps waiting to happen. All the previous terms of Chief Minister Yedurappa have been truncated ones in the midst of truncated assemblies. Even the present one is fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Thought has been getting a larger vote share over the years, yet a clear majority has eluded it. The congress and the JD(S) need to expand their support base as well as deal with internal fissures and revolts. To take thing forward it may be useful for all the parties to learn from the past mistakes. Karnataka politics is clearly at the crossroads and it has been o for quite a while now. The powers struggle is yet to fully uncoil. All the parties are still caught in inter-party and intra-party struggles. The road ahead is bumpy and full of uncertainties and possibilities. The time has come to eschew narrow political interests and focus on governance. - Reproduced
