Bangalore: Eshwarappa, Shobha Karandlaje suffer humiliating defeat
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (SP)
Bangalore, May 8: The result of the assembly election held on Sunday May 5 has cropped a number of surprises. The defeats of two of the former ministers deserve special mention because of the fact that one has been Yeddyurappa’s ardent supporter and follower, while the other is a close confidante-turned-foe.
Former deputy chief minister of Karnataka, K S Eshwarappa, who had kept the party leadership on tenterhooks by making one demand or the other, and asserting his supremacy in the party, had to surrender his Shimoga seat.
Eshwarappa, knowing fully well that Yeddyurappa with whom he had a close association for several decades, and who felt cheated by the betrayal of his friend, would do everything in his command to defeat him, remained in his constituency till the election, canvassed every day, and did not venture outside the district to campaign for others.
Still, he faced a humiliating defeat, by being placed third with a margin of 5,842 votes.
On the other hand, Shobha Karandlaje, who has remained loyal to Yeddyurappa since long, and had shifted her loyalties to the KJP after Yeddyurappa created the party, opted to fight from Rajajinagar Bangalore constituency, although she had won from Yeshwantpur constituency in the last election.
Change of constituency did not augur well to her, and she has tasted defeat at the hands of her former ministerial colleague, Suresh Kumar of the BJP. She also was placed third as far as tally of votes is concerned.

Thu, May 09 2013Eshwarappa definetly deserves the defeat. It is surprising me how a party like BJP can make him President & DCM? He looks like annadi and his toungue does not have any control. He does not poses any class to hold such responsible post which is the major downfall of BJP. Stupid fellow got right treatment from the people of Shimoga. The way he spoke in the media during cabinet expansion while they denied birth to Halady speaks about his charector and today people of Kundapur gave the answer to Eshwarappa. He looted while Minster of power and as DCM gained huge properties at Shinoga & Bangalore. Any way thanks to yeddi for his efforts to keep this creature out of assembly. I was told that Shobha happened to be good administrator among the Group of BJP ministers and done well during the incharge of Mysore district. She also aquired estates and huge properties after getting elected to assembly in Kodagu area. However Yeddi, Sadananda Gowda sidelined honest Shakunthala shetty just to elevate Shobha in the cabinet. Sadananda Gowda was not willing to elevate any other leader in Puttur . Those who are behind sidelining Shakunthala shetty paid the price. Shobha failed misarebly as power minister and not able to manage coal supply and maintain Raichur thermal plant. She was commenting on BJP government performamance after quitting the party, enjoyed cabinet rank for 5 years speaks about her stupidity. There is no ethics with these politicans and both are of same class and deservs this defeat.

Thu, May 09 2013No.... Eshwarappa deserved..... But NOT Shobhakka. She worked hard. She possess an MSW from Roshni Nilaya, Mangalore. Just because she is associated with Yeddyurappa she is facing peoples venom.
One day she will be the Chief Minister of State....
Back biters are there everywhere.... It was BJP's fault not Shobhakkas.... She will emerge as Pheonix again.... Wait and see....

Thu, May 09 2013The need of the hour is to keep an eagle's eye on the performance of those who won, so that they will deliver as they have promised to the voters, and at the same time, being a democracy, Indians should also have the right to demand under the laws of the land, the dismissal of those who do not perform up to the mark, or are corrupt, without having to wait for the next election term.
We must also ensure these winning candidates will purse all corruption cases and ill gotten wealth of those that were in power, BJP, Congress, KJP, JDS, etc., and give it back to the people of Karnataka, on a priority basis too.

Well, we are reading the end results of that political chess game in big letters. Politicians must now understand that the electorates are smarter than them.

Eshwarappa will have plenty of time now to sort out his problems with Lokayukta (L\ayukta pls note he is not DCM nor any minister any more). Lokayukta keep his tail in your hand till everything is vomitted out (Big belly)
Moreover he'll have uninterrupted time to use the currency counting machine and gold weighing scale.
He can even join that swamiji who tells fortune and make big fortune.
Why these type of persons you can find only in BJP or associated with BJP?

Wed, May 08 2013This was my best part of the election. There were some more, the like of Bommai and Nirani & am not sure what happened to that Bacce gowda & some more who should have followed this. Finally people showed them their places.
Despite my hatred to congress, GK PArmeshwar's loosing is not what he deserved for that at this stage when congress was in driving seat. All his efforts went in vain, it only made congress their work little bit easy for allocating CM seat.
