SLEEPY HEAD
H.D.Deve Gowda
                          1996
  When Haradanahalli Doddegowda Deve Gowda was caught sleeping at several public functions, India Today wrote in March 1996: "If you happen to find Deve Gowda dozing off at public functions this year, don't worry. He will wake up soon enough. With P.V. Narasimha Rao's exit, Deve Gowda - the number four choice for the job - has lost his key backer in the Congress. In effect, he may even have lost the Congress' backing."
