India: Two politicians will be asking

Manjunatha, a Hindu God to mediate

and settle a dispute

Two political rivals in the Indian state of Karnataka have decided to resolve their political differences by asking a Hindu god to mediate in a land scam corruption charge. The state chief minister and his opposition rival – a former chief minister – agree that a divine showdown will resolve their dispute.

Asking God to mediate a land dispute

On June 27, they are due to present their arguments in a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Manjunatha. He is the deity who arbitrates on land and property disputes.

Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has been accused by opposition leader H.D. Kumaraswamy of corruption.

Mr. Kumaraswamy has threatened to expose land scams allegedly committed by Mr. Yeddyurappa, in addition to accusing the chief minister of trying to “buy” his silence on the matter through intermediaries.

In reply, Mr. Yeddyurappa has rubbished the allegations as “humbug”, and has challenged his rival to stand before Lord Manjunatha and repeat his charge. Mr. Kumaraswamy has accepted the challenge.

It is not the first time that asking a God to mediate has happened in India, but the first by such high ranking politicians who should know better.
