Shame On The Voters Of Bellary

The voters of Bellary have chosen to elect a person who essentially is a henchman of the Reddy Brothers who have been raping the Bellary mines. As we have repeatedly written on this blog that we think that the Reddy brothers spread their tentacles by paying bribes to all political parties. The BJP eventually did the right thing and punished the guilty. YSR and his family are also in hot waters. Now we find out that our sitting Foreign Minister and tow other Congress CMs are also embroiled in this scam. But they are politicians and being a thief comes with the turf.

However by electing the Reddy brothers' henchman, the voters of Bellary have done such a great disservice to the nation. Obviously the Reddy brothers have either bullied and seduced the voters of Bellary. The Circumstances indicate that the latter must be true. This must have been an extremely watched election (especially with BJP CM in Bangluru). I don't have any knowledge of how the Bellary voters fell for the Reddy brothers but they did. They are sending the wrong message to politicians and saying that we, the voters are equally corruptible. I and sick and disgusted with these voters. Shame on them!!
