Mr. Alban Lewis, the problem is that if a common person visits temple & a dicnitory. Can you ever imagine people like Sonia or Rahul visiting any religious place without police protection or police escort ? Both are not ministers in Central Govt., but are dignitories & there question arises on safety. Same thing is case for DyCM. Though he wish to go as common man, he is handicapped by his post. He naturally gets police protection till he is a Minister or elected representative. Please check up earlier details on Rahul, though he is not a Central Minister, he has a fleet of security, with jammers & roads are blocked wherever he visited during his Yatra. Wasn't not then the Tax Payers money wasted, & why question now ?
Stop pointing finger at only BJP Ministers & speak in general. It is handicap in view of security, as any party person if becomes a prominent Minister of Administrative person, police protection has to be given, even though he doesn't wish it.

Why Eshwarppa, the good shepherd, has not visited the Chamaraja nagar and had Darshan of God Chamarajeshwara and break the superstition that Chamarajanagar is jinxed for ministers in Power? Thank God after coming out of Mookambika temple he did not raise two fingers (Victory sign) at the Public as per his old habit.

Let the minister do some Praja Seva instead of inconveniencing the earnest devotees. These temples must also accord ordinary visitor status to the ministers. Goddess will do justice to the deserving.

Politician/Ministers' visit to religious places does not harm anyone. But why there is such massive publicity? Let them enter the temple as common man and go. If they are visiting during thier official hours of Goevernment it is worth condemning.

After getting ministerial berth our BJP ministers waste atleast a year visiting temples. After that when they return to their seat, they find that they have already lost their post. This should be named as BJP politics.

Yes I agree with you hole heartedly.
Why people here or any other forums make such hallaballa abt Karnatak Ministers etc visiting temples. They are doing at their own time and money. Right Ms. MK?
But why so many cops with him, so many state cars following him and why so much security? Does it cost more than - like u visiting the temple to satisfy your personal belief? Please visit Temples to pray, It is your right as a devotee. But do not use Peoples' Tax money for your religious beliefs and visits.
What do you say MK?
I do not think if MK visits 10 temples at his own cost, taking leave with pay or loss of pay and he is doing it as a devotee.
I hope i need not say more and I think you can understand the difference between MK visiting Temples with faith and this minister visiting temples minus faith but lots of pomp. Please understand the difference

We the ministers of Karnataka BJP govt. have vowed that we will be visiting each and every temple in the state as well as the neighbouring states and shun all responsibilities towards people of the state.
Gods need more and more help from us monetarily and lots of attention, as they are unable to get both otherwise.
Hence all BJP Ministers will embark these kind of visits with lots of peoples money who have given as donations (taxes)
You people of Karnataka will be blessed forever for this, for allowing us to do this yatras instead of doing good in the state
Thank you all
yours sincerely
All BJP Ministers of Karnataka

They remmber Dharmasthala, subrahmanya, Kollur, Udupi, Gokarna etc. only when its time to wash thier sins. When it comes to issues like giving ministries to these regions they look at the sky (towards the sun god).

OUR BJP LEADERS AND CM'S AND EX-CM'S ARE DOING ONLY ONE JOB OF VISITING TEMPLES. THEY DO MORE CORRUPTION LOOT AND AFTER THAT VISIT TEMPLES TO SHOW THEY ARE CLEAN AND GOD FEARING PEOPLE. THEY ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT GOVERNING THE STATE BUT MORE INTERESTED IN TEMPLES AND GIVE BIG DONATIONS AND FOR THE STATE WORK GO BEGGING TO THE CENTRE WITH A BOWL AND IF THE CENTRE DOES NOT GIVE, THEN THEY SAY CENTRE IS GIVING STEP-MOTHERLY TREATMENT TO BJP GOVERNMENT.

SEE THIS CORRUPT ESHWARAPPA JOINING HANDS IN FRONT OF GOD AS HE IS A VERY NICE PERSON. HE ONLY BECAME THE DY CM AND NOT PRESIDENT OF INDIA. HE KNOWS THIS IS HIS LAST POST IN KARNATAKA BJP AS HE WILL NOT BE THERE AND HIS GOVERNMENT ALSO WILL NOT EXIST IN KARNATAKA INTHE NEXT ELECTION. SHAMELESS MAN ESHWARAPPA IS LIKE YEDDY ALSO WHO IS CORRUPT AND VISITS TEMPLES.

DEAR MR. iSMAIL P,
NO ISSUES ABOUT THE VISITS.
THEY ARE WELCOME TO GO ANYWHERE BUT I THINK MEKKA IS NOT POSSIBLE.
THERE ARE SEPARATION ZONES JN ALL RELIGIONS INCLUDING GURUVAYOOR TEMPLE.
WHY CAN'T HUMANS LEAVE IT TO GOD WHO COMES AND WHO DOES NOT?

Everyone includes you and me visits temple, masjids, churches. Visits get highlighted in media when they are in power.

Many MLAs of our state are visiting Dharmasthala, subrahmanya, Kollur, Udupi, Gokarna etc. Their visits gets unnoticed. It will be reverse if they are ministers.

Very true Ismail.The rate at which these politicos are visiting places of worship, the 'dieties' there may be definitely thinking of taking a 'day-out' or going for a 'walk'
when these people come calling...
These Politicos in any case meet people only 'by appointment' don't they? The very 'gods' that appointed them and gave them power....

Mr. Ismail K Perinje, if any person gets a high portfolio, it doesn't mean, he set aside his personal attributes. Even if person becomes a government employee, he can avail Restricted leave, Leave with loss of pay, or so. Here, any dignitory need not sacrifice his belief, as he can perform his personal belief provided doesnt contradicte with his official matters. So what's wrong in visiting religious place. Had he visited a Church/Mosque, most here would be happy, but this is vice a versa case. Be happy that he is visiting with devotion, & not to create any trouble...

GOD is one and universal...But what we are seeing here is after assuming power along with Shettar,most of the ministers of Karnataka, particularly DCM,Isharappa keep on visiting temples!!I am not against visiting temple,Masjid or Churches but being an minister there is other responsibilities relating to citizens and burning issues(drought) to tackle if some time used for that purpose,certainly, god will bless them(ministers)
