A failed life - Mr Yeddyurappa.

It is not often that life presents somebody with an opportunity a chance that mere mortals will not get. It is not often that one becomes Chief Minister of a progressive state like Karnataka. A state with development indices far better than the ones in Hindi heartland of  India.

A state which has the ubiquitous Bangalore - The silicon valley of east, The health hub of the world in near future and so on....... The man  who got such an opportunity is no less a man himself  - the pracharak, the politician and now prisoner no 10462 in parappana agrahara former Chief Minister Mr Yedyurappa.

Recently I came across news of his compatriot from BJP, Mr Narendra Modi Chief Minister of Gujurat edified by USA, for good governance which once snubbed him by refusing visa to enter its territory. We come across another compatriot Mr Nitish Kumar of Bihar doing great work as Chief Minister with his new legislation to grant power to government to take over property of corrupt Babus is path breaking.  And here we have this gentleman Mr Yeddy who wasted an opportunity by doing exactly the opposite. A clear case of fence eating the crop. Greed and nepotism had become the hallmark and cornerstone of administration during his reign. I am unable to remember even one path breaking move made by him except for some populist schemes to garner votes in bye elections.

Mr Yeddy will be remembered for greed, Nepotism and Operation lotus - the most foul means of clinging to power. 

My views about Mr Yeddy are difficult to change - what can you say about a man whose defense was that he hasn't done anything which his predecessors did not do. In a way accepting his wrongs as a part and method of a system rewarding the winners of coveted CM post.

Mr Yeddy is very canny and has the character of coming back but will he change his ways only time will tell. All i can safely say is that - the end of Yeddy is not yet written.

But History shall judge him for wasting the very first opportunity he got when he became Chief Minister of a progressive state, with hopes of all the people on him - He failed miserably.
