Bittoo: Bapu.
Bapu: Yes Bittoo.
Of late, I have become doubtful about political maturity of seasoned politician and former minister Satish Jarkiholi, Yamkanmardi MLA Bapu?
Bapu: Why?
Bittoo: Look at how his recent outburst against a political small fry like Raju Chikangouda, BJP’s youth leader from the city yet managing to stay long as member of Syndicate of the Rani Channamma University.
Bapu: So?
Bittoo: So? Don’t you see how his outburst transformed Raju into a “hero” overnight? Satish could have handled his issues with RCU in several other and matured ways Bapu.
Bapu: Hummmmm!
Bittoo: Isn’t this reflection of his political immaturity Bapu?
Bapu: I don’t know Bittoo.
Bittoo: And Bapu.
Bapu: Yes Bittoo.
Bittoo: I think, actually, Satish is hurt of being ignored by RCU authorities although, the university falls under his assembly constituency Bapu?
Bapu: I don’t know Bittoo.
Bittoo: And, Suresh Angadi, MP has warned of converting RCU campus into a political hot bed.
Bapu: Hummmmm.
Bittoo: Therefore, the government and universities should stop nominating politicians but only academicians to such institutions of higher learning Bapu?
Bapu: I don’t know Bittoo.
