Bangalore: Slipper Flung at Yeddyurappa at BJP Conference at Chenraypatna
Daijiworld Media Network - Bangalore (GA)
Bangalore, Apr 28: What's common between George Bush, P Chidambaram, Manmohan Singh, Advani and Yeddyurappa? It’s nothing but shoe. Strange but true! Nothing but only shoe makes them birds of the same feather. Cutting across the party lines, shoe brigade has become a fashion these days, and state chief minister B S Yeddyurappa is the latest target.
Yeddyurappa was addressing the gathering at BJP workers conference at Chenraypatna in Hassan district when a man from the crowd hurled a slipper towards the dais. However, the slipper missed its target and fell short of the dais.
The police immediately surrounded the accused and arrested him. He has been identified as Chandrashekar from Holenarasipur. He is said to be a JD (S) activist. Sources also said that he shouted 'Deve Gowda ki Jai' before hurling the slipper.
Yeddyurappa however, seems to have taken the issue seriously, and why not? He is the chief minister of the state and doesn't deserve this kind of treatment even if there is some real problem. There are ways to address issues, said a BJP worker while speaking to this correspondent over the phone.
The chief minister has asked the police to arrest Chandrashekhar and register case against him. Yeddyurappa later said that hurling shoe has become a fashion of recent. "This is indeed a bad and negative development which needs to be nipped in the bud itself," he said.
