    B S Yeddyurappa is a desperate man. The lust for the chief minister’s chair, that was taken away from him last year, so strong that he has been issuing frequent deadlines to Nitin Gadkari and company that “appoint me or else”. Unfortunately for him, Gadkari continues to back Sadananda in...

    So `porngate’ (apologies for the media’s obsession to describe every scandal as `gate’) has further sullied the BJP’s gateway to the south. Yet another scene in the nataka that has been a work in progress in Karnataka. This was an adult scene (and viewer discretion was advised) as Sadananda Gowda’s ministers were caught...

    Manmohan Singh should send a `Thankyou card’ to Kapil Sibal. Witness how admirably, though unconvincingly, the Telecom minister stressed the fact that the PM had `zero’ role to play in the entire decision process on 2G.   Which is perhaps why the Congress thinks the BJP is wrong when it accuses...

    By Prof K Nageshwar Now the BJP begins the Telangana struggle Yatra. The party claims it will galvanize the forces for the cause of Telangana state. The basic question at the outset is why should a party that is part of Telangana Joint Action Committee embark upon  a unilateral yatra....

    The urge to do a Virat Kohli or an Ishant Sharma to the BJP must be too strong in B S Yeddyurappa. The former chief minister of Karnataka shown the door, after a damning Lokayukta report in July, wants his chair back. The deadline fixed by Yeddy is Sankranti and he...

    By Prasaanth Menon From the beginning, I have been critical of the way Team Anna (the threesome of the Anna, the Arvind and the Kiran – ‘the’ is necessary, as they’ve become phenomena) went about their crusade against corruption. The writing on the wall was there for everyone to see, but no one...

    By Uma Sudhir Turning over a new leaf. That is probably happening literally in Bellary, I had reckoned when I travelled there soon after the Supreme Court had ordered a blanket ban on mining and transport of iron ore in the region in July. The contrast between the old and...

    By T S Sudhir   Palaniappan Chidambaram may be tempted to ask Sushma Swaraj: “Why this kolaveri, kolaveri, kolaveri di?” Except that he has good reason to be worried that Sushmaji may break into a jig, like she did a few months ago at Rajghat. And blame it this time on...

    By Rajesh Kumar Singh   They have allowed the wily Congress government in Delhi to constantly create trouble for their regional warriors like Narendra Modi and B S Yeddyurappa. Earlier it were just the governors, now the Central Government is craftily misusing the office of the Lokayukt to hunt, harass,...
