Yesterday, the deputy cheif minister Siddaramaih was inaugurating some highway works near mysore. And you know what that he did? He tried his hand at the excavator. He lost control of it, and thereby rammed into the crowd injuring 5 people.
At the same time, the excavator was positioned below a high tension rod. In case the excavator had come in contact with the high tension grid, many people would have been electrocuted.

I dont understand, why no one is blaming the deputy CM for the mishap. The guy took the literal meaning of inauguration. Doesnt his actions qualify for a criminal case? If anyone else had done the same, would they have been let free?
Sad part is one 5 year boys legs got mutilated. How much ever money these people give, will it get his legs back?
Deputy Chief Minister is someone who is supposed to take care of people. Leave alone taking care. Atleast let this guy not damage peoples lives!!!!!!

“”It is sheer providence that no major calamity has taken place. While it is our fault that we entered the control cabin, our engineers should have taken care not to have stationed the equipment near a high-tension wire,”"”
And when it is an accident …. u cant do a thing…And he never called the five guys to come and see…They attended the Inaugration at their own risk…..

Krishna,
I thought of ignoring this comment as well.
But well. What the heck?
“But i told u several times…Criticisng a person when he is not there is not GOOD”
Why on earth should I listen to what you feel or what you care eh?
I care a damn if you talk about me to someone else in public!
Tomorrow I will cause an accident. So, the traffic police will leave me saying, after all its an accident?
It is my BLOODY blog and I will write what I feel like. Let him take me to court or send goondas to my house. I care a foot to it!!
I will never ever operate something that I dont know. Atleast I have that much common sense!
Injuring 5 people is legal, but expressing anguish over it is illegal eh??
Let me give you a piece of advice. Dont express your ignorance and stupidity so publicly.
Go get a break!!!

From what I read, it seems the Deputy CM was simply doing what he was told to do. So maybe he’s not to blame for it.

Yeah, this is so sad and stupid. This is not a videogame afterall! People in high ranks must be a lot more careful…lives are at stake!
Krishna,
Can you please explain how the minister could probably take Ferrari to court? Supreme Court-a? High court-a? Bench court-a? Illa Panchayat-a? Ferrari needs to arrange lawyers accordingly.
If something is wrong it is meant to be criticized. we can’t possibly call the minister to see this blog and tell him, “Minister sir minister sir we are criticizing ur video game playing abilities, so please come and share ur thoughts”
Havent u ever come across articles in newspapers saying the govt made a wrong move? Illa adhu ellam thappu-nu Hindu editor-a criticize panna vara ammavasai annikku naerla poi manu kodukka poriya?

“He was just doing what he was told to do….”
thats the tragedy about politicians…they just do what they are told…..(by everybody except the public that voted for them!) and to think that people are supposed to have voted for them for their “intelligence” and “sincerity”. ( wait a minute…just fell off my chair laughing!)
Very neatly attention was deflected to the fact that there was a high tension wire nearby and anything could have happened…as if a teenager’s toes getting crushed was not happening enough!
As for the threat of him taking you to court…that will probably be a boring sight-seeing trip!

Ferrari, maybe you might end up in one of those Aalamarathadi court somewhere

Excavator, Earth mover??? WTF?
If these engineers can’t guarantee a 100% safety of these devices, why the heck they do these kind of stunts of inviting a chief guest and ask him to operate such things?
I hope they learn from these things.
