I did Blunder ...

Previously when I was using Fedora 17 XFCE Spin, I have uninstalled the basic desktop environment xfce after I installed Gnome. Hence unless I give startx in the terminal to get into gnome mode. I could not install DE and do anything.I tried with Fedora Forums and I could not resolve it.Finally I got an idea, I first used startx and connected to Internet Network and then went to Base Terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F2 or F3) and removed Gnome Desktop and reinstalled it. Then things became normal

So I attempted to remove MATE on the Fedora 19 MATE Spin; I removed MATE after having installed Gnome and KDE. Except for Startx I could not get Gnome. Instead of following the previous solution I had found, I did a blunder; I uninstalled KDE and reinstalled KDE. Therefore the network manager was removed and startx gave KDE without Network. This I could not rectify. Therefore this time, instead of doing some thing in the Terminal and get back to normal working mode, I was forced to reinstall the entire OS

Conclusion:
Linux is too powerful, unless we know what we are doing, it is better not to do it
