Nobody has the majority- So the ruckus;
Still everybody wants to board omnibus;
Manipulations in top gear,
Things are pretty familiar,
Poaching and politics are synonymous.

In a hung Assembly, Guv is whole sole;
Legal experts are called in to plug hole;
They are generally divided,
Can be unanimous provided,
They help the Governor to get his goal.

BJP stalwart BSY has taken the oath;
Ditching the Congress and JD(S) both;
We knew it in advance,
Who will get the chance,
As Raj Bhawan was ready with the broth.
I think that the Governor was right to invite BJP, as they had the most votes and won the most seats. The reverse happened in NZ when three minority parties combined to form a coalition government. National, which easily won the most votes, unfairly missed out. 'Poaching and politics are synonymous'.
On three earlier occasions, during the last one year, Congress Party has been pushed behind in the first place though it won maximum number of seats in state assemblies of Goa, Mizoram and Manipur. No full stop for political manipulations.
Rajnish ji, this is a wonderful title- Karnataka Nataka. It almost sounds like Bharata Natyam or Karnataka Natyam! I really enjoyed reading it. I have never read a Limerick on Politics specially Indian politics. This Limerick is Superb! It is not only poetic but a work of art.100+++
The political proceedings in Karnataka turned out to be highly dramatic. Therefore, Karnataka Nataka or Karnataka Natyam carry the spirit of the narrative. Thanks for your appreciative words, Geeta ji.
I have not seen better worked political limericks.++++10 Robert
