    I liked Capt. Kartik working style. Quietly he was working for the people. He should have won the MLC seat. After all, it is the voters choice.

    Similarly many sincere MLA's have lost the election, not because of their inefficiency but negative publicity.

    Great going of INC & JDS unity.
    Nowadays in every election held, mainly small ones, where no chances for tampering, indicates clear preference to secularists.!
    Off course there are challenges posed to elected representatives from corrupting forces to rebel., because honest methods are not working!

    This time MLC election was in a ballot papers.

    The ills of EVM's were exposed right infront of the citizens.


    PEOPLE ARE WELL KNOWN HOW TO DEFEAT THE USELESS, CARELESS AND LETHARGIC AND COMMUNAL LEADERS.

    EVEN IF THE PEOPLE HAVE GONE ON COMMUNAL AND ON PARTISAN IN THE TWIN DISTRICTS THEY DID NOT GET POWER.

    Thank you sir. But anyone can claim to have served in the armed forces.

    Those who have served in the armed forces are very proud to state their regiments, so the members of the public can make further inquiries.

    Otherwise it will be like the Feku's degree! Or, the junior actress's Yale graduation.

    So, do you know this man's regiment?

    No regrets , As the earlier rep was only busy canvassing for party and only did some propaganda press conference without any reality.Teachers proved they can’t be made ullu every time. Iam sure if EVM was not there peace loving mangalore would have thrown out the communal fire litting leaders into the bin.

    Surprising yet very much consoling to know that teachers of these 5 districts are not with BJP! It is
    shockingly against the popular perception that teachers and educated are with bJP and more importantly having won almost all MLA seats in these constituencies and with BJP MPs too. Victory of Indian ethos!
