DV Sadananda Gowda is CM of Karnataka

As expected in my earlier discussion, smiley DV Sadananda Gowda, has now become the chief minister of Karnataka. Gowda won his first assembly election in 1994 and is won MLA twice and as a MP twice.

Gowda defeated Jagadish Shettar in a secrete ballot today. and Jagadish Shettar name nominated as Deputy CM.

"I will do my job well. It is a great honour," said Gowda after he was elected as the leader of BJP legislative party.

The 58-year-old Gowda has always been a party loyalist and a hardcore RSS man. Hailing from the Vokkaliga community, Gowda started his career as an advocate in Puttur near Mangalore. His close association with RSS made him a local BJP leader, an MLA and later an MP.

Gowda was Karnataka state BJP president between 2007 and 2010.

The Gowda-BS Yeddyurappa combination won the 2008 Karnataka Assembly polls and 2009 India Lok Sabha polls in the state.

The big question in state peoples mind is, how long gowd can survive as cm in the mining corrupted state and with in party issues.
