    Karnataka sleazegate: Three ministers quit

    Bangalore, Feb 8 (IANS) Three Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ministers in Karnataka resigned from their posts Wednesday, a day after two of them were caught watching porn on the third minister's phone in the state assembly.

    Laxman Savadi, C.C. Patil and J. Krishna Palemar had voluntarily resigned, Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda told reporters.

    "I have accepted them and forwarded to the Governor for acceptance," he said.

    The three ministers, he added, had denied any wrong doing and sought a probe which they claimed would prove them innocent of charges.

    Private Kannada TV channels Tuesday showed Savadi intently watching the clip while Patil appeared to take a brief look at them. Both said the cell phone belonged to Palemar.

    State BJP chief K.S. Eshwarappa and former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said that the three ministers had quit voluntarily "so as not to embarrass the party".

    Savadi held the cooperation portfolio, Patil handled women and child welfare while Palemar looked after environment and ports.

      Recently the karnataka Govt had sanctioned money to buy ipads for all MLAs. Once these are in their hands, they can watch such videos on ipad's larger screens and with superior clarity. I think the government should also sanction certain amount to each MLA on a monthly basis to download "videos".

      This is shameful because the BJP alongwith the Shiv Sena promote the idea that they are the guardians of Morals. This is an immoral act that has given the opposition the upper hand even if they are corrupt. It at least proves the BJP/Shiv Sena combine are no angels.

      What are the BJP's Bajarang Dal, a so called social Police wing of BJP is doing about their Governments Rave Parties in Udupi and their Ministers watching Pron Blue movie clips, that too while the Assembly session is going on. These Bajarang Dal and Ram sene activists/goons who are against the celebrations of Valentines Day, are fully supporting the Government Official sponsored Rave Party at their own Mangalore Beach.

      K state is sunk in scams. So these scams are just time pass for the state's police machinery. BJP will not be back in power in the next comming years and hence they are making full utilisation of their 5year period. The citizens can expect more in future.......

      BJP brags itself as a disciplined party. But these F ministers are more interested in BFs than performing their duty in assembly.

      With such rouges ruling Karnataka for the past 3 years, what development can 6+ crore people of Karnataka can expect? Shame on these porn addicted ministers.

      Quiting from ministry is not a complete solution. Election commission tobe banned for those MLAs/Ministres to contest for election for atleat 10 yrs

      Heard a few months back that police were doing random checks on students mobile phones to find any porn in it. Will police now charge the shamed karnataka BJP MLA's about this porn issue in their cell phones ? I don't think so. Obviously they have different yard sticks for common man, politicians & VIPs.
    • kamal  •  3 months ago
      Why is police not quick to arrest them for watching porn? Obviously they have different yard sticks for common men and VIPs,

      We should not waste tax payer's money for conducting any probe or enquiry into the shameful act of these so called elected representatives of people of Karnataka. No resignation should be sought from them. They should be summarally removed from their ministries and dismissed as MLA. They should be banned from contesting elections forever. No Kannadiga wants to listen to their explanation or reasoning of the act.
