This is BS  Yeddyurappa’s first visit to Tiptur after  he assumed the  office of CM so the schedule is packed... with uncertain programmes to say the  least.

Taking forward the tradition of mingling with the general public, Yeddyurappa is going to stay at the home of on Kalyan Kumar and will also participate in his house warming ceremony at Burudeghatta. It is this technicality that does not allow us to name this visit as village stay that was made so popular by H D Kumarswamy by sources  close to the CM. However for the people of the town this is a village stay as well as a great honour  for them that the  CM will be participating in a house warming ceremony.

The possibility of Yeddyurappa staying the Government high school is also quite  possible. Among the many unsure programmes in the CM’s schedule, he may also conduct a Janata Darshan and accept grievances from the public.

 Nonvekere and Barudeghatta  have  also been  closely associated with senior state politicians which  seem to have  increased  ten fold in the recent times.

The importance and stature  of these  places seems to have  gone up after Sri Karivrushaba Swamiji took over the reigns of the  Kadusiddeshwara mutt here.

 Political devotees who have  visited the  mutt include Maharastra Governor S M Krishna along with his  wife Prema Krishna, V  Somanna, D K Shivakumar, H D Kumaraswamy, Dharam Singh and others Devotees who throng the  mutt have great belief in the him and say that anything that Swamiji predicts about the future will always come true.

When Maharastra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh visited the  mutt a few months ago with  S M Krishna, swamiji has  predicted that Maharashtra was heading for political turmoil. with Deshmukh set to return to the place, one can only guess why.Even  Burudeghatta has  attracted an  equal share of devotees.

The Eshwara temple there is famous and  it is believed that any one who walks the distance to the temple is blessed by the  Gods. Nagaraj shashtry who is the chief  priest of the temple also is believed to be a great astrologer.

It also created a stir when B S Yeddyurappa visited the places  within hours of assuming office after the  power transfer.

The question on every one’s  mind is what was the prediction made this time around for the  newly weds.
