Shivakumar’s arrest is opportunity in disguise

Deccan Chronicle  

When leaders outgrow their soil and their people and acquire a large-than-life image, they become the cynosure of all eyes — even those of their fiercest rivals. Interestingly, just before the recent Parliament elections, during a BJP core committee meeting in the state, party national president Amit Shah had stated that there was no need to conduct an “Operation Lotus” to bring down the JD-Congress coalition government as it would fall on its own due to the bickering between the Deve Gowda family and former Congress chief minister Siddaramaiah. Mr Shah and other national BJP leaders had already felt the heat when Mr Shivakumar handled the Gujarat MLAs during the Rajya Sabha elections in which the Congress’ Ahmed Patel was a candidate. In the same election, Mr Shivakumar delivered a shock to popular BJP leader Mr Boya Sriramulu by leading the Congress to victory in his backyard, Ballari, defeating Mr Sriramulu's sister Joladarashi Shantha. Every Congress leader worth his salt has dubbed Mr Shivakumar’s arrest as political vendetta and the anger could well turn into a unifying force for various Congress groups across the state.
