DVG wrote his play, "Mahachunavane" (General Elections) in 1965. It depicts an unflattering picture of the first general elections in India held in 1951-52. There is a justified need for revisiting and re-analysing this play today.
DVG's Kannada play, Jack Cade was one of the earliest fictional portrayals of a newly-independent India in which the political class headed by the Congress Party was pushing India towards brazen demagoguery and anarchy.
