    “In his tenure, Sadananda Gowda did good work and the performance of our government was very good. There were no complaints against him on grounds of corruption but keeping the party’s interest in mind, as a good party worker, he has resigned.” Thus spoke Nitin Gadkari, the BJP’s president with...

    The game has gone for over a year now. The game of musical chairs, that is. With the BJP central leadership unable to make up its mind on how to deal with the fresh rebellion a fortnight from the Yeddyurappa camp, it let the music flow and keep the chief...

    Oh no, not again. That’s the familiar groan every time, yes, every time B S Yeddyurappa decides to raise the banner of revolt. This chief minister-turned-thorn in the BJP flesh has clearly emerged as the Principal of the Rebel Politicians College of India. The optimist in him refuses to die...

    Yet another wicket has fallen in Karnataka. This time, Law and Urban Development minister Suresh Kumar. And the charges, pretty familiar. Suresh Kumar was accused of securing allotment of residential sites through his family members (mother and daughter), in violation of rules. Kumar decided to resign on moral grounds, besides...

    B S Yeddyurappa now has a new address. Office address, that is. Yeddy vacated his Race Course road office and residence provided to him by the BJP government since 2006 and moved to the new office that earlier housed the party’s state office in Bangalore’s Malleswaram area. Yeddy whose residence...

    Things are getting hot under the collar for B S Yeddyurappa. Just a day after he flexed his muscles at the BJP leadership, the CBI raided his and his family members’ residences in Bangalore and Shimoga. In the meanwhile, Yeddy filed for anticipatory bail for himself and on behalf of...

    In the end, it turned out to be one of those melodramatic speeches, without delivering the knock-out punch. B S Yeddyurappa was all fire and brimstone at his press conference just a while back, blaming Karnataka chief minister Sadananda Gowda and Ananth Kumar for all the mess he is in....

    The original Ramayana : Lord Ram returns to Ayodhya after 14 years in exile, after vanquishing Raavan in Lanka.

    If they were of the same age, you could have concluded they must have been separated at birth. Or could have inspired `Suresh-Ramesh’ kind of bilaang jokes. How else does one explain the pretty similar fate lines of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and B S Yeddyurappa. Both men possessed by...
