The Governor of Karnataka seems to have his own version of democracy. I should hasten to add that I'm no supporter of the state's Chief Minister either.
Once the people have elected a political dispensation to rule them, the government should be allowed to do its job. It'll be judged by the very same electorate on the basis of its performance at the appropriate time. The Governor has no business in upsetting this applecart unless and until he or she has corroborative evidence to nail the government for its undoings and only then, use them to dislodge it by constitutional means without any delay whatsoever.
In Karnataka, the game between the Governor and its Chief Minister keeps taking place at regular intervals much to the consternation of the people. Is the former trying to please his political bosses? And when does the Chief Minister get to rule his state? He seems to have time only to make thanksgiving visits to the temples once a crisis has blown over!
Another political pantomime that's disgusting and avoidable.
