The statue of the Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar was unveiled today in Bangalore after being under the wrap for almost eleven years. Through this great poet deserved every respect he can and this should be laudable, i doubt the intentions of politicians from both states behind this. It's well known fact that there has been many long standing disputes between the two states such as Cauvery, Hogenakkal etc and there has been riots and loss of lives before like the riots of 1991 as a result of interim verdict handed out by Cauvery tribunal board. Unveiling Thiruvalluvar statue in Bangalore was one of the condition that slain bandit Veerappan had set to release the then abducted Kannada matinee idol Dr.Rajkumar.
I smell something rat here as Karnataka CM Yeddyurappa has arranged all these in a hurried way. He is struggling with administration as state has been witnessing power cuts like never before. There are many more pressing issues in the states that needs to be addressed. His party BJP which lost Lok Sabha elections badly has realised that unless it spread it's wings in Tamil Nadu and Andhra, it can't make it in the center. These two states were the key swing states in favour of the congress and BJP has no base here. By unvieling this statue, may be Yeddyurappa want to send a message to Tamil Nadu people that BJP is more friendly to them. This also makes it easy for BJP to get some alliances in the next general election.
