This kvltblogger today went to work after a long break thanks to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and this is what greets him at the reception.

I'm proud to say that I've stayed out of the bullshit that's written on papers and transmitted to television sets in the name of journalism for a long time now. I've made sure there's no TV at my place and I also haven't read papers in a long time.

But I saw the papers today. I saw this.

Now look at that. Beautiful isn't it? Two native kannadigas happily romancing away in public and having a blast. Total page-3 material you'd think. But no way jose, it's the biggest political sex drama to have taken up the front-page headlines across newspapers since the over-hyped Clinton-Monica cigar-in-the-beaver episode.

Addressing the media in Bangalore, P V Jayalakshmi — a nurse by profession who had recently made serious charges of blackmail against BJP legislator Renukacharya — alleged that he had intimidated her into posing for the provocative photographs.

Their conversation probably went like this.

He: Ne girls here in da room? dis iz 43/male/bangalore single big-shot-MLA ready 2 mingle!!111

He: HAI

He: ASL PLS

She: 40/female/bangalore/nurse/ugly/lots-of-ghey-lipstick

He: u want 2 hav gud time?

She: k lolz.

He: brb. i'll gt camra.

She: NOOO.

He: <slaps> now change 2 nighties, wear more lipstick n cum bak. act lyk u r kissin me n havin fun. it will b gud timepass.

She: k

“I was forced to release these photographs as he has been making contemptuous allegations against me. I know that my name will be defamed when I show these photos, but I want to expose the misdeeds of the elected representative,”

Sure.

He had been blackmailing her emotionally and had threatened to release the photos to the media, Jayalakshmi charged.

And nursey did exactly what he was threatening he would do. Smooth move lady. An MLA threatening a nurse that he'll release intimate photos of hers with him to the media. I don't know about you guys but this makes total sense to me. This is like in movies where the politician bad-ass white kurta guy rapes the hero's sister and blackmails her that he'll make it public. Mast.

BJP legislator Renukacharya said that the photos released by Jayalakshmi on Monday have been “technologically manipulated”.

 Could this be Adobe's new marketing ploy?

“As the issue is being probed, I am not supposed to speak about it... I do not want to comment on it,” Renukacharya told.

  Ah hell so much for not wanting to comment:

“It is not true that I had spent time with her... I have not spent even a single minute with her. She is only trying to tarnish my image and politically finish me by using technology."

I'm almost sure now. This is Adobe's new campaign, definitely. It's Digen Verma all over again, motherfuckers.

“Jayalakshmi has given a statement in writing to Chandra Layout police station that she does not have even a photo or a CD. Now, she has to say where she got these photos from. It is a political game plan.”

Now, just to summarize. Kannadiga MLA parties with this nurse. The nurse gets hold of the pictures and fucks him over. BJP Karnataka HQ  tells him to STFU. The lawyers tell him to announce that she's trying to finish her using technology. Way cool so far.
