Honey trap scandals return to haunt K'taka politicians

Honey trap allegations have rocked Karnataka  politics with the minister from Karnataka himself claiming that he is victim along with 48 others including central leaders. This revelation is neither isolated nor unprecedented.  The gravity of these claims have sent shockwaves creating an unforeseen crisis. Over the past decade, two ministers were forced to resign after their private indiscretions became public scandals.  According to the people, Karnataka has become a factory for CD and pen drives.  Blackmailing leaders with sleazy CDs and pen drives has become a menace. Many political figures, largely from the BJP, have rushed to obtain injunctions to prevent their contents from being released in Karnataka. No honey trap succeeds without consent, and those who step into such a trap fail in judgement and character.  But the question is why these people hovered on the honey and got trapped in it.  Greedy, pervert and corrupt bees are getting honey trapped for 'Yeh Dil Mange More'.  The citizens are being ripped continuously with price hikes in various forms without any improvement in infrastructure. If the ministers can be compromised in such a blatant manner, how can the public trust them to govern effectively?
