See the guy below carefully!! He is the kind of guys India needs to guard against! They are uneducated and totally drunk on politics! This idiot actually made it as the Indian PM!!!!
Using India’s premier IT show platform, former Prime minister and JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda on Wednesday launched a fresh offensive against a section of IT sector, accusing them of carrying on a ‘whispering campaign’ to destabilise his party’s coalition government with Congress in Karnataka.
Attending the ‘Bangalore IT.IN 2005’ changing his earlier plans to skip it, Gowda charged that a section of the tech sector started the campaign within two or three months after the coalition came to power that IT firms were leaving Bangalore because of infrastructural woes.
Gowda, who was involved in a public spat with the IT czars and specifically attacked Infosys chairman N.R. Narayana Murthy last week over land allotment to IT firms, told Chief Minister N. Dharam Singh sharing the dais with him to put conditions before providing land so that the displaced get jobs.
As the chief guest at the four-day event, Gowda accused a section of IT sector of creating a ‘negative impression’ about the coalition government that it was not giving priority to infrastructure in Bangalore and started a ‘whispering campaign’ that it firms were leaving the city.
Murthy, who quit as chairman of Bangalore International Airport Limited after Gowda questioned his contribution as BIAL head, is now in the US and is expected to return to the city on November seven. Infosys is among the major IT companies that have set up a stall in the show.
Lending a new twist to his cold war with the IT sector, Gowda had also last week accused Murthy of playing politics at the behest of his bete noire Maharashtra Governor S.M. Krishna whom he had charged with trying to topple the coalition government.
