Common man be a sport. Cheddyurappa shaking (hands) with Karandlaje is nothing new. Hope he bestows her with goodies, basically I don’t see anything wrong with that. When sarkozy can jollify with carla bruni, why not cheddyurappa with Karandlaje ?

Churmuri is soliciting salacious slander by publishing pictures of this kind. What Yed and Shobha do is their own business. See what I mean? My own comment sounds as if it contains an innuendo. Leave them alone.
If you don’t to want to leave them alone, you might want to ask Prathibha Prahlad, Manju Bhargavi, and the spirit of a dead foreign service officer (Nirmala something) what they think of mishmash like this.

The headline, “The handshake everybody loves to watch closely”?
Again, is it our eyes—or yours?
Look at the picture once again. Look at the eyes of seven of the eight BJP workers. It is they (not we) who are closely watching the handshake, whether you like it or not.

The only objection I have to this story is that churumuri published only the picture of Yediyurappa shaking hands with Shobha Karandlaje, and not with any or all of the other 108 BJP legislators.
We know why, we also know why not!
Yes, Yediyurappa has won a famous victory, but why are the Hindutwits behaving as if their angel is god’s chosen one who has descended from the high heavens?
The personal lives of Indian politicians is not a private issue and should not be. Not if the other woman is the cause of bitter intra-party rivalry, threatening the people’s mandate as she did last time. Not if the said other woman is privy to and a player in all manner of crude and crooked deals as evidenced by churumuri’s accompanying story on the BJP-JDS negotiations.
H.D. Kumaraswamy’s personal life involving a film actress has been the butt of many a joke, including a film by an execrable journalist who has now joined the BJP. Narendra Modi has stopped short of calling Sonia Gandhi the Pope’s moll and mistress. And Nehru’s infatuation with Edwina Mountbatten is the stuff of legend.
If all that has the Hindutwits thapping their thighs and licking the saliva off the corner of their mouths, why is Yediyurappa’s “scene” with Shobha Karandlaje such a matter of shame? Oh, because he is an RSS chappie, and RSS soldiers as we all know from the example of Govindacharya and Uma Bharati don’t have such earthly desires and urges. They believe in immaculate conception, you see.

Yediyurappa a poor chap migrated from Mudhigere in Mandya District in search of a job to Shikaripur in Shimoga Disytrict.
Yediyurappa began working as a Clerk in a Rice Mill owned by Shastri. He managed to marry the daughter of his employer. He then took over the entire Property of Shastri, the man who gave him his first job and his daughter.
Yediyurappa cruelly exiled Shastri and the entire family from their own house and became the Proprietor.
Yediyurappa then became Municipal President of Shikaripur.
Yediyurappa became MLA in 1983.
Yediyurappa is a Communal and Casteist Lingayat.
Yeddiyurappa rose to become the Party President and Leader of the Opposition.
Yediyurappa all through his political career has been one of Karnatakas most corrupt politicians.
All through his tenure as an Opposition Leader he was always on the take from Congress Chief Ministers.
Yediyurappa befriended a extra-marital fondness called Shobha Karandlaje.
Yediyurappas wife Maitradevi objected to the Shobha immorality.
One Night Yediyurappas wife was drowned in a water tank at her residence.
Had Maitradevi not objected to Yediyurappas immorality then she probably would have not died in such suspicious circumstances.
Yediyurappa made Shobha a BJP Office Bearer and an MLC. He was keen on making her a Minister but did not get the clearance from the other seniors in the BJP.
Yediyurappa as Deputy Chief Minister had Shobha Live-In with him in the Official Residence.
The Entire Bureacracy, Business, Brokers and BJP activists who wanted anything done through Deputy Chief Minister Yediyurappa had to strike a Deal with Shobha, fill her coffers and prostrate before her.
Shobha was involved in everything. Postings, Transfers, Government Funds Allocation, Contracts and all the activity involving the Power and Patronage of the Deputy Chief Minister. Shobha was thus the de facto Deputy Chief Minister.
Now, Shobha will be the De facto Chief Minister.
Shobha and Yediyurappa will soon prove that the BJP Government in Karnataka is the most corrupt in Indias History!
If you want anything done by the Karnataka Chief Minister Yediyurappa, then do not meet him. Just fly to Bangalore, drive to the Chief Ministers Official Residence, stand in a queue with a suitcase full, meet Shobha, Strike a Deal with her and your desire will be fulfilled.
Say Hello to Shobha Karandlaje, the BJPs de facto Chief Minister of Karnataka.

Now coming to the thing called “lady” MLA… Why did Yaddi and Co. did not allow Shakuntala Shetty to contest? Why did they dint grant her ticket only? This was all because Shkuntala Shetty has been a very sincere BJP worker since years and she did not like Shobha Karandlaje coming into forefront all of a sudden.
Many of the RSS leaders alongwith Shakuntala Shetty did not like Shobha because, Shobha was nothing in BJP some years ago. Even leaders who came before her have not been given any status, while shobhakka has been enjoying many benefits.
And shobha was just a part worker. She was made MLC. And now due to pumping of money, she is an MLA. And if Yaddi has so much concern to bring up a lady, why did he prevent Shakuntala shetty from contesting?
