After a minor leak and much drama baazi, the Lok Ayukta report on illegal mining in Karnataka is officially out, and the facts provide the full and final proof of the manner in which China’s vociferous appetite for steel changed the political paradigm in the State, earning it the sobriquet of “India’s Most Corrupt State“.
The loss to the exchequer between 2006 and 2010 is estimated at over Rs 16,000 crore; the loss between March 2009 and April 2010 itself at Rs 1,827 crore. The chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa has been named, as indeed as his predecessor H.D. Kumaraswamy despite their “tearful” performance every now and then.
More to the point, the report indicates that the CM of god’s own party who spouts “development” like a stuck record, was a direct beneficiary, his family having been paid by cheque by the mining companies. Yet, while the BJP attacks the Congress in Delhi on corruption, its “gateway to the south” seems to be rotting to the point of decay.
What is the one question you are dying to ask Yediyurappa and the BJP?
Like, could Yediyurappa’s defiance cost the BJP on the national stage, just like Narendra Damodardas Modi‘s? Like, could Shobha Karandlaje as a potential successor to Yediyurappa mean it’s “all in the family”? Like, is it true that the silence of key members of the BJP and RSS, in Delhi and Bangalore, was purchased for a price?
Or, were all those visits to temples and mutts eventually of no use? Or was it a licence?

If corruption has graduated from chai-pani baksheesh to croroes of rupees, what would be its next level? Are you ready to form a political party with A Raja, D Maran, S Kalmadi to make it a part of your manifesto, thus making your business of making money on the side transparent?

Perhaps the so-called North-South devide is for real. I mean north Indians like me are not at all energised by this Yediyurappa hype that is going on. I change the TV channel whenever this guy is being discussed. I hardly read the news stories on him.
This guy does not seem that colourful as many North Indian politicians seem to be. Even Deve Gowda was more colourful during his stint in New Delhi. I fondly remember the time when Mr. Gowda used to be the Parliament’s “sleeping beauty.”
A number of times he was caught by camera taking a nap while debates would be raging. I am sure Yediyurappa is not capable of that kind of immaculate performance.
Yediyurappa prays a lot. Perhaps he can do a better job as a religious preacher or priest, etc. In that kind of role he might seem interesting. As a politician, he is completely bland and boring.
But that is the point of view of a cow milk drinking North Indian. My friends from the South have every right to have a different opinion on thier beloved and a little bit corrupt chief minister.
