you are correct about yediyurappa but he played political stunt. who is not playing such stunts in tamilnadu.example karuna,he dropped hogenekkl project time being till karnataka election just to please congress.he leaked out nalini-priyanka meeting to get burning problems are taken over by this hot news and people now talk of nalini- priyanka meeting rather than hogenekkal.becouse news paper 'the hindu''editor ram supports maran due to his relative connection,karuna helped times of india to come with chennai edition which otherwise was prevented for two years during maran period.first day inaguration was done by karuana who ensured this first day edition of TOI carry the hot news of priya/nalin meeting while the news paper'the hindu' was in dark.karuna is intelligent to play chess game in politics.
