The not-so-esteemed Chief Minister of Karnataka has stuck on to his chair for a while now, with more tenacity than an old woman and her dentures. Every once in a while, a Machiavellian plot to topple him comes to naught as he calls in soothsayers, divine blessings, political favours and earthier (and more effective) threatening noises. The latest in a series of 'Get Rid of Yid' campaigns comes soon after the Lokayukta damned him in their report. And the BJP is finally waking up to the fact that they can't be calling for Congress scalps when their own backyard isn't really as pure as untrodden jasmine.u00a0 But the man is unfazed. He hooked off to Tirupati. To get the gods on his side as he single-handedly slays the corrupted forces who dare to blacken his pure, untarnished soul. Before flying off in a specially chartered jet (that came out of our taxes presumably?) to pay obeisance to the BJP Central Command deities. He believes (in his own deluded words) that he be awarded a Nobel Prize for his services to the people of Karnataka. Eminent folks over the globe seem to agree, and rumours are strife that the Nobel Committee is meeting to discuss which category he could fit in. The obvious choice would be the Nobel for Chemistry. Who else has managed to defy all the elements (get the pun? Wink! Wink!), take iron ore and convert it into pure gold. The alchemists of old didn't manage it as well! Or could it be the Nobel for Physics? After all he does defy the law of gravity: he ain't falling downhill nowhere. And he manages to make his detractors disappear into thin air - is there a New Law of Mass coming up? Perhaps he could be in Oslo for the Medal for Economic Sciences. He has taken an entire State's resources, funneled them into the ready pockets of the Reddysu00a0-- and created a bank account that rivals the deficit of the country. The medal, when he picks it up will be fashioned from solid gold. But won't create even a minor blip in his bloated assets. His only grouse is that he doesn't see any reason why he should resign: after all directing thousands of crores and land banks into a family trust isn't wrong, now is it? Which leads up to his nominations for the Emmies. He's more dramatic and slapstick than the longest running soap, and is more entertainment than any other politicou00a0-- barring a couple of Sarkozys and Berlusconis. We may soon need to get used to a boring, sedate life all over againu00a0-- if he ever gets unstuck from his chair, that is.u00a0
