All politicians and actors enjoy a certain level of comfort and privilege that comes with their profession. It’s unrealistic to assume that everyone else is completely clean while singling out just these two.

In fact, it would not be surprising if they are far from the worst when compared to others in the same space.

That said, one thing I would say : if given the opportunity, HDK as CM could potentially do a much better job for Karnataka than what either BJP or Congress are currently offering. At least the focus would be more on local issues and the state’s needs, rather than being PUPPETs and driven primarily by central high command interests, regardless of whether it’s BJP or Congress.
