Yedduryappa and his survival stories

The Karnataka Chief Minister has yet again managed to save his post. While I don't normally care about the political roller coaster stories, I have assumed some immense interest in following this (in)famous CM. Given the number of attempts made to remove him, number of scams that are being unearthed on a daily basis, he will very soon make it to the Limca Book of Records. Yedduryappa, at least for now is the survival of the 'politically fittest'.

Per Political analysts, politics in Karnataka has hit an all time low. The current government is more or less in a survival mode, ignoring some major issues that need to be addressed.

Unlike Andhra Pradesh, where Chandra Babu made a significant impact in bringing the IT industry in to the state, Karnataka has been fortunate enough not to depend on the politicians for this purpose. Bangalore being a hub of aerospace, research, large scale public and private companies and scores of educational institutions helped incubate the manufacturing, IT and BT industries. All that the industry expects is a stable state government that can address current & future infrastructure needs...Given the present circumstances, that seems like a dream itself!
