Dear All,
Even though lot has been discussed about the issue, I really fail to understand several actions by the various concerned, which has resulted in the stalemate and not only bringing the sport to disrepute but allowing the best managed club ( in terms of tote income generation ) to collapse.

-the actions taken by the ex chairman and member of KRHOA were simply disgusting-- how much ever indifferences are there-itshould have been somehow burried ??? when it comes to question of racing as a whole none of them might have anticipated the issue to take an ugly turn like this. Do the concerned persons realize now, what damage they have caused to the sport and can they do anything positive to set right the damage?

-Chief Minister of a state whose main priority should be the concern of the suffering individuals ( BTC staff/Trainers/ Jockeys and other stable employees and even Book sellers ) and fairly adequate income generation for the state ( as well as for other turf clubs and states ).. sir, you dont seem to be concerned about these issues at all. Sir,where has all your intelligence gone ? Is this why people of Karnataka elected you and made you occupy this chair?.. Holding up the license of a club ( which is generating such an adequate income )for giving petty 50 membership for your nominees? How are you going to defend your decision sir? If this is not blackmailing the club, what else is this ? After holding the most responsible position of a state, can you play around a children game like this ?

- Next and most important - club members not even considering the request of the govt and altogether blankly refusing.. Members, I feel you have done a most disgusting thing compared to the other 2 whom I have quoted above ? Have you realized the consequences ? Do you think Govt is going to surrender in court so easily after being adamant for all these days ? ( Pls dont interpret that I am supporting the decision of CM ) Dont you think the govt has other weapons ( Like CID report And pending supreme court case ) which can still come to their rescue even if the high court verdict goes against them ? Cant the state govt take up the supreme court pending case and still see that BTC vacates the present premises ? ( Even though it is not easy, it is not impossible either ).. If this happens what is the future of BTC ( when it vacates the premises and come on the road ).. for you people your membership only was the issue and you were totally blind towards other issues ? If in the present scenario BTC comes to roads who is responsible for this ?.. no doubt all concerned parties.. no doubt.. But there was a solution available in your hands.. what is called COMPROMISE.. when from your side also quite a few weak points were there. ( The land not owned by BTC and racing not being run with adequate and strict supervision etc ) You have lost a golden chance - things which could have been easily sorted out with your consent, you have allowed it to reach a point of no return. OK according to you and many others, Govt is eyeing on the land.. which is not right according to you. But if the govt's vision is on that ( Mind it the land belongs to them ) you cant decide whether what they are doing is right or wrong. The best would have been a bargain to ask for an alternate land - and build a race course ( when opportunity was given and you had adequate funds too, you didnt utilize this).. sad. It is really sad that you also have taken a rigid ( Most rigid ) stand and allowed BTC to collapse and literally allowing it to come on the roads which looks quite inevitable now. ( I only pray that I am proved wrong in my presumption ).

We are only able to watch the proceedings and hope for the best to happen without being able to do anything positive to tide over the crisis. Hope some miracle happens and BTC is able to get back to number 1 position as in the past.
