Reaping a golden harvest for the BJP in Karnataka, B S Yeddyurappa gave wings to the long cherished dream of his party. Known to be a fighter all through his political career, Bookanakere Siddalingappa Yeddurappa was born on February 27,1943 at Bookanakere in Mandya taluk. After completing graduation in Mandya, he joined the department of social welfare as a second division clerk.

His efforts at work and sincerity caught the attention of Veerabhadra Shastri, a rice mill owner from Shikaripura who took him as an employee at his mill. Later, he married the owner’s daughter Mytradevi and settled at Shikaripura along with his family of two sons Raghavendra, Vijayendra and three daughters Arunadevi, Padmavati and Umadevi.
Balancing between work at the rice mill and RSS, yeddyurappa’s entry into active politics came in 1972 when he became the president of the Shikaripur taluk Jansangh. Since then, Yeddyurappa has been fighting for the cause of farmemers across the state. He went on to became the president of the Janasangh, member of the municipality and Shimoga district BJP president.
His efforts won him the post of the party’s state president for two consecutive years. Acclaimed for his fiery speeches on the floor of the House as an opposition leader, Yeddyurappa was elected as the MLA from Shikaripur for the sixth successive term and twice became the opposition leader in the legislative assembly. With the BJP-led coalition government with JDS assuming the power, he went on to become the deputy chief minister and late the chief minister of Karnataka only to pulled down by his partner in the coalition.

Kareena is feeling smothered by Saif’s constant attention. She wants him to back off and give her space
It had to happen sooner or later. Most of their friends said it would be sooner.” Two volatile souls like Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor can never last together,” a close friend of Kareena had whispered when she wasn’t listening.

The ‘inevitable’ has happened. There are cracks in the perfect passion already. If rumours floating out of the couple’s friendly circle are to be believed, Kareena and Saif are constantly having problems, and it isn’t Saif’s fault, really, not yet.
Says a source, “Saif is constantly crowding her for attention. Nowadays, if you see him on his cell phone, which is most of the time, he’s only talking to Kareena. Saif has stopped communicating almost completely with all his family and friends. He never was someone to call up his parents. Now even his mother doesn’t hear from him for weeks. Soha of course, never heard from him anyway. So that’s no different. In fact, when Soha heard that her brother was at the premiere of Saawariya (with Kareena, of course) she said, “I wish I knew, I could’ve met him.”
Dropping all communication with the rest of the world Saif has now found himself a constant preoccupation. Keeping tabs on the love of his life, and accompanying her to events all over the country which have nothing to do with him.
Says the source, “Kareena likes her space. She’s very giving in love, but doesn’t want her man to constantly question her. That’s what Saif is doing. She gets what-are-you-doing where-are-you-calls from Saif throughout the day. Initially, she enjoyed all the attention. Who wouldn’t? But now it’s begun to take its toll on her nerves. Moer that Kareena, it’s her mother Babita who’s worried and angry that Saif’s ceaseless trailing may affect her career.”
Friends say, Kareena has asked her beau to back off a bit. Quite a bit. “But Saif is Saif. When he’s in love he’s nothing else. Ironically, he used to complain about Rozza’s constant attention. Today he’s behaving exactly the way that put him off her for good. Hounding Kareena with his attention. She can’t help remember Shahid’s laid back easy-does-it gentle attention,” says the source.
So where does the relationship stand? “Well… It’s a little shaky. But nothing alarming yet. All Saif needs to do is give Bebo the space to find her pace. Otherwise he’d have to get another girlfriend with a name similar to Kareena so he can get the tattoo re-done without too much pain,” Says a friend
