JPR:The general sentiment is that people are fed with Kalyan Singh and his inept rule of the state,nothing personal against Vajpayee or the BJP is what I read.

In the meantime, the Cauvery dispute between the southern states of Karnataka and Tamilnadu has ignited again. This is the very same issue that the BJP was claiming that they had "solved" when they were in power last time. Both Chief Ministers are on BJP's side. And each is likely to command the support of about 15 or 20 MPs (though in the case of Karnataka, things are a little more complicated because of the linkages to a few other outfits in the North as well, through the Janata Dal (United), which of course, is anything but united!). And this will be in addition to the expected controversy that is likely to erupt about the reinstatement/sacking of George Fernandes as Defense Minister! It would be a lot of fun to watch the "stable" government led by the BJP and its 23 or 25 allies! Barely a month from now, they will all be fighting like the power-hungry scoundrels that they really are.

Modern-day "Chanakya" proves to be a nothing more than a neutered old man! More on the Cauvery dispute... outlookindia.com Excerpt : "[Vajpayee] was projected both in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as a wise Chanakya who had solved a century-long dispute after the August `98 agreement. Last year, thanks to good rains, the agreement was not put to test. However, at the first hint of a row, the much-touted accord reveals itself as a powerless and ineffective political ploy."
