What happens if you mix politics with some black magic? You get a chief minister going buff in the middle of the night, or so it seems. If sources close to chief minister B S Yeddyurappa are to be believed, he will be sleeping naked on the floor for three nights, starting yesterday. The reason: He is trying to ward off the effects of black magic and sorcery "done against him by his detractors". And it doesn't end there. The CM has even decided to bare all for surya namaskar in a river next week.


The CM came on record yesterday, saying that his political enemies were indulging in sorcery to finish him off. "I am scared. They are conspiring to kill me through black magic. I can't move around freely. The situation is such that I sometimes wonder if I will reach home from Vidhana Soudha."

Bhanuprakash Sharma, the CM's family priest, said he has advised Yeddyurappa to perform certain rituals to ward off evil. "I have advised him to perform the sahasra chandika yajna at Chamundeswary Temple in Mysore and laksha modaka Ganapathi homa (offering 1 lakh modaks to Ganesha)," he said.

"Unlike in the past, and given the current situation, I told him to restrict his visits within the state," said Sharma. "Earlier, he would go to Tamil Nadu or Kerala."
