THE ON-GOING political crisis for the BJP in Karnataka with the all-rich Reddy brothers of Bellary holding the BJP-government in the state to ransom for meeting their business-related demands, has exposed steep fall in democratic values in the country’s political system.

Such tactics with bold demands like the withdrawal of court-cases by ultra-rich politicians are in no way less than the style of Naxalites or Maoists, which however gain momentum from social unrest caused amongst masses dominated by influential ones in society.

BJP should take a clue from the Congress, which did not bow to similar political-blackmail of lobbying by Jagan Reddy for the Chief Ministerial post of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. Interestingly according to media-reports, Jagan Reddy of the Congress is a business and a close associate of Reddy brothers of the BJP.
