The fall of one-party dominant system or what famous political scientist Rajni Kothari termed as ‘Congress System’ in the 1970s led to an era of coalition politics.
As expected, Sumalatha, wife of late actor and former Congress leader MH Ambareesh has missed out on Mandya Lok Sabha ticket. She is all set to contest as an independent candidate, with a tactical backing by the BJP against Nikhil Kumaraswamy.
CM Kumaraswamy stood in the defence of tourism minister Sa.Ra Mahesh asserting that the police officer 'disrespected the minister' leading to such incidents. He also said that 'disrespecting the state tourism minister is equal to disrespecting the CM'.
