Mangalore: Shobha Karandlaje in her second innings as Energy minister appears energetic, more confident, always smiling, and beautiful in appearance. But cutting down Sharad Pawar to size? She wants a blanket ban now on Endosulphan in state in state when other countries had done it 30 years ago.
But CM Yeddyurappa has to agree to her. Farmers in India have used the American Endosulphan, which makes Indian farmers, now Visha-Kanthas (blue necks of poison)?
Sharad Pawar, Agricultural Minister it appears, heard farmers saying ‘nay!’ to ban the poisonous Endosulphan. Shobha countered him by saying hew wants to protect drug manufacturers, with bribes that is. When Hazare accused him of being a corrupt minister, Sharad resigned in haste from GoM chairmanship. He has sided with Davood Ibrahim once.
Let farmers die in Indian states, her may chant. Shobha said he was dishonest; let him study Endosulphan uses first. 6,000 persons suffer due to this drug monster in India.
