B.Y. Umadevi, a 37-year-old Bangalore-based entrepreneur who has never been to a “plub”, on chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa‘s announcement that he wants to curb “plub culture”:
“If a woman is an adult, it’s for her to take a call on whether to go to a pub or not. If she is not an adult, the issue is then essentially between the child and her parents.
“There is no role for anyone else in this.
“It’s for women to decide if they would like to visit pubs or any other public place, and that government, politicians or outfits like the Sri Rama Sene cannot restrict their movements. ”
Oh, by the way, B.Y. Umadevi, who runs Candor Business Solutions Pvt Ltd, a BPO in Bangalore, is the daughter of B.S. Yediyurappa. She says her siblings, including two sisters — one a homemaker and another a government official — would “by and large” agree with her views on “individual choices”.
Read the full article: CM says he won’t allow ‘plub culture’
Mahatma Gandhi et al were all fools who talked for prohibition of liquor – is what every media portal and politician wants to prove indirectly.
“plub”? Cheap shot Churumuri.
Would be better if you could promote good writing skills amongst commenters and article posters.
We need to do something about smoking. Drinking in moderation is okay. Smokers especially women are know to give birth to defective and underformed babies. Due to the advent of coffee bars like Kapi day, barishta and java city we find many young women taking up smoking.
Am I giving ideas to Ram Sene to attack these coffe shops. No I am a liberal and stand for all the human rights including the right to commit suicide. But I guess the government should do some thing to warn its citizens both men and women against the perils of smoking.
What is this shit about the term “pub culture” anyway? Since the time society has started to get my nerves, I have heard the use, misuse and abuse of this oh-so holy word called “culture”, totally belittling and making a joke of the fact that we are democratic country. Bullshit, this is India, anything goes.
My folks and all the other 60s generation people I know went hyper when they read that allegedly the girls abused in the incident were consuming alchohol. So what? If they are above 18 and doing it in free will and fuckin paying for the damn booze, I don’t see no problem. Free will, my sleep deprived arse.
A visible flaw that nobody is doing anything about is the age-limit at these pubs, clearly there are strict rules against letting underage people in, but news flash: no body cares, cause all the money are from these rich spoilt brats consuming alchohol that they should not and mouthing foul language cause it makes them cooler than their branded undies. Such imbeciles are often found in Froth on Top.
Awesome, Kudos to BY Umadevi!! inspite of her father going the other way around she spoke the truth. It takes guts to speak your mind, women like these should be introduced in to politics, men are mostly all corrupt.
Sindhu, everyone is corrupt here, even us and them. The politicians have created a system for everyone to be corrupt but they get the money and we all fight and face the daily problems in fighting for our basic decent life.
You know the time has come!! for what?
Palahalli:
Not a “cheap shot” by Churumuri, this is what Yeddi ACTUALLY said in the interview to the media – “PLUB”. I guess Yeddy thinks it is some kind of combination of pub and club.
This is what actually happenned.
– Indian Express reporter called Yeddyurappa on his mobile. Instead of CM, his daughter Uma Devi answered. She didn’t know that he was going to write all that. He asked her about pub controversy.
She said that it was a personal choice and nobody could stop that.
– Today, Yeddyurappa took her to task. Ordered her not to talk to media again.
– She has stopped answering calls even on her own mobile.
– Ananthkumar gang is spreading rumours that Yeddyurappa may now field Uma Devi from Shimoga instead of son B Y Raghavendra!
So what? elroo en thames nadi neeru kudidu huttirbekaa? very cheap of churumuri.
WOW! Mr. Kaapi addict, can we subscribe to these exclusive insider info on all sorts of news?
Or is your interest confined to Shivamogga(that’s how it’s supposedly spelt now, right?) only?
If women want to booze and fornicate freely, it is okay. But then, why do they make such noise about women’s being insecure? The same standards of security as are applicable to boozing and fornicating men must be accepted by the liberated women.
It is unbecoming of free, liberated women boozers and pub-goers to cry for additional protection and special morality-rights, if they say that they are equal to men.
Looks like the Congress has jumped into the holier-than-thou game:

Ramadoss now wants to define ‘our culture’ and ‘our path to progress’ :)
We should be seeing congress goons attacking pubs and other soft targets next.
LOL!! Plub culture…..the CM cant even pronounce the word….Someone wrote something on a piece of paper and he starts reading it..Its 2009, INDIA!! The world laughs at the moral immaturity of India.. Grow up!! High friggin time…
