Always deny the truth...

That's the basic tenet that most politicians build on. Well, after claiming, explaining, exclaiming and re-claiming to the media everyday for the last 30 days that, no, his son won't be the Lok Sabha candidate from Shimoga, Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has gone (to dilli durbar) and done the predictable. He's ensured his son IS contesting.

The state BJP unit had been asked to send a short-list of possible candidates to the party's Central election committee to finalise the names of its Lok Sabha candidates. From Shimoga, the short-list was really short -- it had one name -- B Y Raghavendra.

So, after living in denial for weeks together, the BJP has finally proved itself wrong in saying it won't go by dynastic polity. In fact, the short-lists from various districts are filled with sons, nephews, sisters and brothers of the party's MLAs.

We think it's the JDS' turn now to prove itself wrong!

P.S. : What's that old saying ? If you expect the unexpected, then doesn't the unexpected become the expected?
