Former Karnataka minister and a close associate of Yeddyurappa, Shobha Karandlaje, is constantly in tears. Ever since she was removed from the ministerial post, let alone senior party leaders, even small workers are not giving her any importance. Shobha’s biggest grievance is that the party asked for his resignation through the media and via Karnataka BJP president Sadanand Gowda. Yeddyurappa did not even talk to her, neither then and nor till date. When Shobha calls up, the Chief Minister refuses to take her call – `O’ love, it pains seeing your plight…’.
