Sadananda Gowda: Why Karnataka’s Always ‘Grinning' Politician Has Quit Ahead of LS Polls

News 18  

The trademark smile hardly left the face of former Karnataka chief minister and senior BJP leader Sadananda Gowda when he announced his retirement from electoral politics — one that he has worn even during the toughest phases of his political career or personal life. “It should have been a collective decision, one taken after seeking the opinions of the state leaders regarding the alliance… the decision for the alliance was taken without any discussion with a state leader or the core committee, which includes former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, a member of the Parliamentary Board,” Gowda had said while speaking to a Kannada newspaper. “He has been an inspiration for many, and by retiring from electoral politics, he has shown despite being in the peak of one’s political career, making way for new blood while being a loyal disciplined party worker, which takes a big heart and a humble mind,” said senior BJP leader and close confidante of Gowda, Captain Ganesh Karnik. Udupi MLA and BJP leader Yashpal Suvarna said Gowda took the decision keeping Karnataka’s interest his priority, not the elections. “Udupi MLA and BJP leader Yashpal Suvarna said Gowda took the decision keeping Karnataka’s interest his priority, not the elections.
