Yediurappa and BJP’s moment of reckoning: "It was sometime in 1997 during the Chief Ministership of veteran socialist leader JK Patel in karnataka that BS Yediurappa made a three hour long speech in the Assembly as the leader of Opposition on a small incident in Mysore and demanded the resignation of JH Patel on moral grounds.
A lot of hue and cry was raised about the government’s insensitivity and corruption. When JH patel rose to reply to the charges, he started with the story of a 90 year old man who was called Huchha( meaning “ mad” in kannada) and then turned towards Yediurappa asking him how old he was.? Yeddiurappa mumbled that he was above 50 years of age. At this JH Patel retorted in Kannada” Tau ardha Huccha aagirbeko(then you must be at least half mad) and kept watching him for over two minutes in the assembly and walked out, leaving everyone stunned.....!!
