'Government's work is God's work' — TOI asks minister S Suresh Kumar and JD(S) leader MT Nanaiah if this inscription in Vidhana Soudha, holds relevance any more
'We have drifted'
I get that hallowed feeling, when I enter the portals of Vidhana Soudha. I salute the great visionary Kengal Hanumanthaiah for conceiving this structure and at the same time, I bow my head in shame. The factor of good governance has many connotations, for the common man, it means government work is God's work. This is where we have drifted. Sitting in the majestic environs of the assembly , sometimes I wonder whether we are justifying our presence here. What Hanumanthaiah had visualized and what is happening now.
The issues before political parties at all public platforms is elections, and winnability factor linked to populist schemes. The real issues and problems get missed out. The solution for this can come from party leaders. Instead of painting a dismal picture of devaluation in politics, they should be the catalysts .Some of these leaders have seen the good old days of the assembly. They should motivate us and I am optimisitic that we can make a U-turn.

'It has lost all meaning'
It was during the regime of former CM R Gundu Rao that the motto: 'Government's Work is God's work' was engraved at the entrance to Vidhana Soudha. But it has lost all meaning, at least in the past one decade or so.
As a legislator for over 30 years, these days when I enter the corridors of power, I feel everything is amiss. Vidhana Soudha has turned into a den of corruption. It lost its legacy, legislature and work values in the 80s itself. Things have come to such a pass, Vidhana Soudha, Vikasa Soudha and other secretariat buildings look like any other extremely polluted river in this country.
Nowadays, when I enter the Vidhana Soudha , I don't see people attending to God's work these days but the devil's . It's time we politicians introspect. People are already looking at us with utmost contempt.
The day is not too far for a political uprising against the increasing grip of governments on the life of people. I can sense people gearing for revolt against the tyranny of government , corruption, inflation, price rise, crimes and attacks on human rights. The degeneration of democracy is happening at a rapid pace. And it's high time we either change the system or ourselves.
