Founder president of Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP), Mr Padmanabha Prasanna, who had convened a press meet to announce that former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and former minister Shobha Karandlaje had got married in a temple in Kerala in a secret wedding ceremony, was in for a rude shock as unidentified persons poured a chemical mixture on him.
As soon as Mr Padmanabha started addressing the media, a few unidentified persons approached him and poured a chemical mixture all over his body which was carried to the spot in two big jars. The unidentified miscreants before fleeing the scene, warned Mr Padmanabha to have respect for women and criticized his allegation made against Shobha Karandlaje. They were even heard shouting slogans, ‘Bharata Rakshana Vedike ke jai”.
“Mr Yeddyurappa is trying to target me fearing that I will expose his secret wedding with Ms Shobha Karandlaje. Mr Yeddyurappa had promised to build a dining hall for the temple after the marriage. As promised, he has built the dining hall in the Bhagavati Amma Temple in Kerala where they got married” alleged Mr Padmanabha.
Earlier also Padmanabha Prasanna said that he was ready to release a CD of marriage between former chief minister Yeddyurappa, who was once the president of KJP, and Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje, if he was given Z-plus security. He also demanded cancellation of the appointments of 11 MLAs as parliamentaryary secretaries by Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah claiming that there was corruption involved in the appointments.
Claiming that there was marriage between former CM Yeddyurappa and MP Shobha Karandlaje, he said he was ready to release their marriage CD anytime, if he was given adequate security. “I am ready to release the CD tomorrow itself but the chief minister should provide me Z-plus security. If Yeddyurappa and Shobha Karandlaje are not married, let them declare so in Dharmasthala. If they do that, I will retire from politics.”
