The politician and the software czar are at war.

It all began when H D Deve Gowda, former prime minister and Janata Dal (Secular) president, insinuated that Infosys Technologies Chairman N R Narayana Murthy had not contributed anything for Bangalore.

Stung by the charge Murthy quit as

the chairman of the Bangalore International Airport Ltd. Then Infosys hit back by making public the IT major's investments in Karnataka.

Who do you think is right? Will Murthy's resignation adversely affect Bangalore's development? Or is Deve Gowda's claims correct? Or is it a matter of development versus petty politics?

Your opinion matters! Tell us what you think about this and why.
