Dear Mr.Yeddyurappa,
Let me begin off by wishing you on your party's success in the recent zilla parishad and local body elections where you won with a convincing majority,but is the win reason enough to celebrate uproariously,indulge in an ugly spat and unwelcome war of words with the governor H.R.Bharadwaj,accuse your political opponents of trying to cause grievous harm to you by taking recourse to the reprehensible practice of black magic and last but no the least simply glossing over the fact that your dubious land allotments to your kith and kin still continue to hang around your neck like the proverbial albatross.
Your tenure begun with a lot of fanfare and goodwill on all sides as it heralded the Bharatiya Janata Party's maiden successful attempt at forming a government sout of the Vindhyas and you were entrusted with the rather onerous responsibility of consolidating your party's gains and ensuring that your "good governance practices" and efficient administration heralded the rebirth and the laying of a firm foundation for future BJP governments in the other four southern states.
Though you begun your tenure with a lot of promise and made the electorate believe in your ability to deliver on your poll promises for a brief while, you soon found yourself embroiled in a rather unseemly war with the Reddy brothers over who deserved a greater share of the ill gotten gains from highly dubious and illegal mining operations in the Bellary area and areas adjoining the Andhra-Karnataka border, the same soon escalated into a major embarassment and your first real challenge as the Reddy brothers raised the banner of revolt against your fledgling leadership and it took the proven firefighting abilities of a Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley to pull your chestnuts out of the fire.
Rather than consolidating you gains and giving the citizens of Karnataka the good governance that they so richly deserved you soon found yourself in the dock again over allegations of favouritism and undue favours shown towards your kith and kin in the area of discretionary land allotments out of your discretionary quota, then began a rather unfavourable period of allegationa and counter allegationd from all sides of the political spectrum which subsequently snowballed into a major political controversy.
The afore/above mentioned controversy threatened to sound the death knell of your chief ministerial aspirations and the high command was even contemplating the option of asking for your resignation for a brief while,to your credit it must be said that you materfully played the lingayat card and threatened to pull the rug out from under the high commands feet and wreck the government if forced into tendering your resignation.
You did the right thing by returning the land allotted to your kith and kin unconditionally while constantly harping on the fact that you had done no wrong as all your prdecessors were equally guilty of having indulged in the same practice,while one is ready to accept your submission at face value, but since when have two wrongs made a right Mr.Chief Minister.you own MLA's and MLC's soon raised the banner of revolt against you on the above mentioned and other corruption and graft related issues and the entire nation saw the ugly and heinous spectacle of marshals and cops unceremoniously shepherding out your opponents from the assembly premises.
Yes,the courts did come to your rescue and uphold the veracity and legal standing of your government,but the final word on the disqualification of the errants members is awaited eagerly as the esteemed high court is still to announce its final verdict on the validity or otherwise of the speakers actions.Matters have indeed come to a head with the governor sanctioning your prosecution for the sins committed whilst alloting land to your near and dear ones from the CM's discretionary quota and you find yourself being hauled over hot coals with two enterprising advocates filing corruption and other related cases against you.
All is not Mr.Chief Minister, tender your resignation forthwith until you are exonerated of all charges and redeem yourself in the eyes of the electorate in general and the Christian community in particular that is up in arms against your government after the submission of the one man Justice Somashekhar Committee report expressely constsituted to carry out an enquiry into the unprovoked attack on churches and other religious shrines during the early days of your regime. Please consult his excellency Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee on immortal lessons pertaining to one's conduct in public life and the discharging of Raja Dharma before you are booted out unceremoniously by the aam aadmi and confined to the dustbins of our glorious nations political history.
Yours Truly,
