At the Dasara half-marathon, the minister in charge of Mysore district, Shobha Karandlaje, shows her youthful best as her cabinet colleague Gulihatti Shekhar and others try to keep pace, in Mysore on Thursday. Don’t ask us if she completed the race or not.

Good to see that some of our ‘leaders’ are still fit enough to run.

Hahahaha….the chamchas expressions are a delight

Atleast now ,we can say, the ministers are given a run(literally) for their money, even if it is under the pretext of Dasara activities !!
But ironically, Whats more important is the ministers(or administrators) atleast walking an extra-mile to cater to the burning issues .

Agree with tsubba..she sure is having lot of fun..it shows ! superbly timed photo…

Nice to see some minister having fun. I hope the opposition will not object to this as no leader in the opposition can take on Shobha for a 100 meters dash.

Looks like she is shooting a song sequence for a movie (neenello naanalle).

Yeddi got exhausted the previous night…
Apparently his personal docter advised him full rest before he takes the chopper back to Bangalore after another pseudo Swami’s darshan.
Not surprisingly his younger, energetic ‘colleague’ is still going strong ;-)
