Basavaraj Horatti, outgoing chair of the Karnataka Legislative Council, said he will not sit at home sulking after leaving the position. In an interview with Deccan Herald, the veteran MLC recalled his journey from a physical education teacher to a record eight successive wins from the Karnataka west teachers' constituency. Horatti, who has served multiple terms, made the remarks amid speculation about his next move after the change in chairmanship.
Horatti's refusal to sulk is a rare display of grace at a moment when many politicians would be nursing grievances. The narrative that losing a post equates to a career end is often exaggerated; his eight straight wins show consistent support, not entitlement. The real test is whether he will use his experience to hold the government accountable or quietly withdraw. Watch how often he speaks in the Council as a backbencher.
