Facepalm moment for Amit Shah as Karnataka CM gives it back to him on Twitter

Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah’s reply to Bharatiya Janata Party supremo Amit Shah on Twitter after the latter accused the former of indulging in corruption has gone viral on social media. Siddaramaiah not only challenged Shah to present evidence to prove the allegations made against him but also reminded that the latter was a jailbird.

During a rally in Mysuru on Thursday Shah had accused the Siddaramaiah government of being “synonymous with corruption” and also accused him of protecting the killers of Hindu activists. That evening, he also tweeted: “Siddaramaiah govt has crossed all limits of corruption. In Karnataka, Siddaramaiah and corruption are synonyms. Siddaramaiah means corruption and corruption means Siddaramaiah.”

On Friday morning, Siddaramaiah tweeted: “Says an ex-jailbird, who chose another former jailbird to be his party’s CM candidate for our Karnataka election. Can he present facts about the so-called corruption charges against me or my govt.? Just telling lies won’t help. People will not believe his #jumlas.”

This was a dig at Shah being in judicial custody in 2010 in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, and to the party State president B.S. Yeddyurappa’s arrest in 2011 in connection with the irregularities in denotification of land.

Siddaramaiah also replied to a tweet by Kannada activist Ganesh Chetan criticising Amit Shah for being silent on the Mahadayi issue during his speech in Mysuru. The Chief Minister shot back: “Not his fault! Nobody told him about #Mahadayi. He reads an outdated speech about Tipu, corruption & a fictitious ₹2 lakh crore that the Central govt. supposed to have given us. @AmitShah ravare, next time please read about #Mahadayi before coming here.”

Shah’s visit to Mysuru came on a day when the State was witnessing a bandh over the Mahadayi water-sharing issue with Goa.

BJP is a stinking and sinking ship in Karnataka whose leaders are corrupt, criminals, immoral gangs are in deep shi..The fear of Siddaramaiah, his popularity, people friendly schems and a clean administration worriying these good for nothing culprits who looted the state during their tenure. People understand BJP's frustration and Criminal Leader's open call to its cadres to commit violence in the state to divide people and garner votes. Karnataka is NOT Gujrat, it will not work here.

Mangaluru, Feb 18: Within days after Kambala racer Srinivasa Gowda emerged a national hero, another Kambala racer Nishant Shetty has grabbed headlines. 

Nishant Shetty from Bajagoli Jogibettu reportedly broke Gowda’s record at the Venoor Kambala on Sunday. Shetty recorded 143m in 13.68 seconds. If calculated for 100m he clocks it in 9.51 seconds. His speed is faster than Gowda who clocked 9.55 seconds.

According to Kambala organisers, with Shetty’s feat, four participants have joined the elite club of racers who have completed the 100 metres in less than ten seconds.

They are Iruvathur Anand (9.57 secs), Akkeri Suresh Shetty (9.57 secs), Srinivas Gowda (9.55 secs) and Nishant Shetty (9.51 secs). Anand and Suresh Shetty had participated in the same Venoor Kambala where Nishant emerged first.

Kambala is an annual race held in Karnataka where people sprint 143m through paddy fields with the buffaloes. During the race, the racers try to bring the buffaloes under control by holding their reins tight and beating them, making it amply clear that the animal plays an equally important role in achieving the timing. Traditionally, it is sponsored by local Tuluva landlords and households in the coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi.
