TINA FACTOR
Key to Yeddyurappa’s Survival
By Deepak Kumar Rath
Beating the odds and surviving from the worst crises seem to have become second nature to Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa. The first-ever BJP Chief Minister in the south, who has faced a series of political crises during the last 32 months since he assumed power, is now in the eye of yet another political storm in the form of the sanction of the Governor HR Bhardwaj for his prosecution.
With the Governor, who has turned out to be a more vociferous Yeddyurappa-baiter than even the combined Congress and JD(S) opposition parties, openly sanctioning the request by two city-based advocates to prosecute the Chief Minister on the allegations of land scams and other irregularities in the allotment of sites or denotifications, it is worthwhile to take a hard and objective look at the situation.
Let us consider the facts: The CM has been accused of allotting sites to his sons and other family members. Though there is nothing illegal in the allotments per se, it must be noted that the CM did not deny, nor did he try to cover up but went to the extent of ensuring that the beneficiaries surrender the favours. Incidentally, there is no legal bar against denotifications. In fairness to the CM, almost all his predecessors have indulged in allotment of sites, denotifications and other acts of nepotism and favouritism in the past. In fact, some of the past CMs—who are leading the oust of Yeddyurappa campaign—have been guilty of even worse scams and other irregularities.
That the Governor, who had publicly stated that he was proud to have been a Congressman, seems to be having a single-point agenda to somehow unseat the BJP government and thereby serve his political masters, is evident from his conduct from the moment he landed in Karnataka.
