HILARIOUS AND SHOCKING ... AT THE SAME TIME ... IF TRUE

http://www.starofmysore.com/main.asp?type=news&item=9307

Chikkamagalur, Apr. 17 (KCU)- Can you imagine the State Sports Minister fumbling with names to reveal the name of the State cricketer, who took over 500 wickets, that too from Bangalore! Incredible but true.

Minister for Sports and Youth Services Alkod Hanumanthappa was here to inaugurate the newly-built international standard tennis court.

Speaking to presspersons later here yesterday, the Minister, while referring to the Karnataka bowling legend who took 500 wickets, could not get his name (Anil Kumble) and sought the help of a reporter!

When the Minister said that Kumble wanted to set up a 'wicket' academy, the MLAs C.T. Ravi and S.L. Dharmegowda, who were with him, corrected it as cricket academy, it is learnt. This only speaks volume of the ignorance of our Sports Minister.

this pimp will not know a cricket academy from his hairy arse but he will surely know how much it will cost to make it and how much percentage he will make from it. it's karnataka, he should be humpied.

Is Kumble a liqour baron....is he an excise contractor....does he supply the minister's weeknight needs....If all this is not being addressed, why would he remember a name...so what if the person he sought to refer to has brough pride to India....

It is disgraceful to have such people walking on the face of this earth and that too as ministers

not just any minister .. the "sports" minister

[RicePlateReddy]

Having sports ministers is a mistake in the first place. Keeping the government out of something is the best gift a government can give. Even the land for an academy can be obtained from private sponsors with the right incentives.

Ravi: We reap what we sow. If people of Karnataka has elected him as a minister, then they should be ready to face such obnoxious moments from him. The trick is to learn lessons from such mistakes....

I guess we know what u mean, but not to be too harsh on the people I'll say they only vote to get the ass into the Assembly...the ministry part is rarely ever influenced by them. That part is usually the muscle-flexing and book-licking skills domain.

Have you ever seen our Janta learn that particular lesson ever ?

[ramshorns]

If he were not a sports minister I would have no problems in this man not knowing who Kumble is.

Blame the Karnataka CM for making this guy a sports minister. For all you know, this guy's expertise may be in something other than sports.

They actually assign people to other posts based on expertise  

[keep-it-cool]

Unfortunately, sports is one of those portfolios that is handed out to meet the ministerial expectations of some important MLA/MP ... it is largely a filler and not something to which a lot of thought (in terms of expertise required) is applied. Sometimes, by default, you get someone good or at least someone willing to try – Sunil Dutt was a good example
