Bengaluru: JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda has obviously not learnt any lessons from the severe drubbing he and his party received in the recent Lok Sabha polls, where the voters outright rejected the family brand of politics patented by him.
Though regional parties in other States are no less dynastic, many of them have built a strong leadership team outside the family circle. The JD(S) once boasted of some of the tallest leaders in the State, but most of them have now migrated to other parties, with those who remained back fading into oblivion.
