Porngate: BJP MLA blacks out news from voters

BELGAUM,Febrauary9,2012: Laxman Savadi, who resigned as Karnataka cooperation minister on Wednesday, gave orders to cut off electricity to his constituency Athani on Tuesday, so that the people of the town could not see the news of his viewing pornographic clips in the assembly. He also issued orders to block entry of newspapers into the town. The orders were issued even as TV channels were telecasting news of his actions embarrassing the government. After power was restored late at night, the cable feed was withdrawn by the local operator. On Wednesday, no newspapers of any language could reach Athani as most bundles were booked and purchased en route. Savadi's supporters removed all cutouts of the minister across Athani town on Tuesday night itself because they felt people would disfigure them. Recently, Savadi had announced that he would bring BJP leaders B S Yeddyurappa, chief minister Sadananda Gowda and party president K S Eshwarappa on a single platform on February 16 on the eve of the formal launch of Karimasoori lift irrigation project, implemented at a cost of Rs 560 crore. The programme was arranged as part of Laxman Savadi's birthday celebrations.
High demand for ministers' MMS

BANGALORE: It's the most sought after porn clip in the market. But the video that reduced three BJP ministers into legislators is not available with any porn DVD /film dealer in the city.These dealers from areas like Burma Bazaar and National Market in Majestic area said on Tuesday that people were coming in large numbers asking for the "ministers' MMS masala" video but they didn't have it in DVD format. Not yet at least.Sex scandals that make the headlines generally end up earning them huge profits, they said. Some dealers said they were accepting orders to provide this video. "We're trying to get hold of the video as soon as possible. The last time we had such a demand for a blue film was during the alleged scandal involving Swami Nityananda and a Tamil movie actress. It was a blockbuster of sorts in this industry," said a dealer in National Market.By late Tuesday evening, someone working in "public interest" had uploaded the clip to the internet. Those who want to see it don't have to go too far to see it.There was curiosity among those online to learn about the origin of the clip, and the people involved in the video. Questions abounded on various websites about the identity of the woman in the video and the location. There is also speculation that the video is from Kerala.With the controversy getting hotter, many users are posting more links on the Internet, creating fear among traders that they are losing out on sales with this "fresh development", as the videos are available online free of cost. "At the moment, it is not very accessible. We hope they remain unavailable on the Internet, and we can sell a few in the coming days," one of them said.According to the dealers, the video won't fetch them more the Rs 30-50. One of them pointed out that it was too small to be marketed and the controversy around it would be its only selling point. "There are very few buyers of such CDs, porn or otherwise. Most people download such stuff," he added.
