I had promised the farmers that I would waive off crop loans up to Rs 1 lakh soon after I become the Chief Minister. I have already conveyed to the Chief Secretary to give me the details and we will announce the waiver within two days, said chief minister BS Yeddyurappa

Democracy has been brazenly manipulated, mutilated and massacred in Karnataka. It does not augur well for the future of India. All eyes are now on the Supreme Court to come out in protection of the Constitutional ethos on which the very foundation of our nation rests.

In a series of tweets, the Patna Sahib MP also favoured giving the post-poll alliance of Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) a chance in the southern state as the two have the majority number.

Sir, why are we playing with fire? Votaries of democracy are making a mockery of the system. Those who do not forget to sermonize on the value of democracy are out to wreck the polity.This politics of jugaad and arm-twisting or for that matter Dhanshakti over Janshakti is neither acceptable nor desirable. Sir, there is a saying you cannot fool all the people all the time to win/gain anyhow by hook or crook and a moreover the same is not advisable too, Sinha tweeted.

What is happening in Karnataka today is a rehearsal for what will happen after the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi.
