June 21, 2016

Bengaluru, Jun 21: In a sudden development after the recent Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka, UT Khader has been reportedly shifted from the Ministry of Health and Family Affairs to the Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies.

1utkhader The decision was taken by chief minister Siddaramiah, who was looking for a competent and active minister to handle the department of Food and Civil Supplies, after the departure of Dinesh Gundu Rao.

According to the Congress party sources, Mr. Rao was dropped from the ministry so that his services could be drafted to organise the party in the light of 2018 Assembly polls.

The CM meanwhile, has reportedly urged Mr Khader, who had topped a series of surveys conducted by various news agencies to assess the performance of ministers the state, to introduce much awaited reforms in the food department.

Sources claimed that Ramesh Kumar, who was newly inducted into Cabinet, will succeeed Mr Khader as the Minister for Health and Family Affairs.

Byre Gowda, Patil Cabinet ministers

Meanwhile, Mr Siddaramaiah elevated Krishna Byre Gowda and Sharan Prakash Patil as Cabinet rank ministers. So far, they were ministers of state for agriculture and medical education respectively.

With Vokkaligas unhappy over not getting berths in the reshuffle, it seems Siddaramaiah has adopted appeasing tactics by making Gowda a Cabinet minister.

Patil, a Lingayat MLA from Sedam of Kalaburagi, is a known close associate Mallikarjun Kharge, MP. A proposal to make them Cabinet ministers went from the government to the Governor on June 18. A notification making the changes was issued on Monday.

I am a APL card holder. When we get ration coupons, in coupons for APL 5 kg rice and 5 kg wheat. When we go to ration shop if we say i do not want wheat only 5 kg rice they do not give. They says if you want rice you should take wheat also. Other wise change in your coupon for rice only. But we can not change only rice.

Kindly tell what is the procedure for only rice and no wheat for me.

Sir,
There is shortage of Non subsidised Commercial L.P.Gas cylinder of 19 Kg capacity in the market as HPCL has stopped giving new cylinders to the dealers since past 6 months.

The reason stated is that the turnaround ratio is less than 1 per month.

It is very surprising stand in the open market regime and HPCL has no ground to take such decision in general. The new release is stopped to those dealers who has more than 1 turnaround per month.

Black marketing of commercial cylinders is now a reality.Thanks to HPCL !!!

You are requested to appraise our food minister to manage this issue and oblige.
Regards

DKS expresses shock over Yogi's plan to prevent workers from getting jobs in other states

News Network

May 26,2020

Bengaluru, May 26: After Yogi Adityanath said that no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president DK Shivakumar on Tuesday termed the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister's move as "unconstitutional" and "against the right to freedom of movement."

"Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's move to restrict hiring people of Uttar Pradesh is unconstitutional and goes against the right to freedom of movement. Mr Yogi, please note that UP is not the private property of your govt. The people of Uttar Pradesh don't need your government's permission to work anywhere in India," Shivakumar tweeted.

"Mr Yogi doesn't understand the basic rules of governance in a democracy. Such actions lack common sense and will only make the people of Uttar Pradesh suffer more. When it's convenient for BJP, it's One Nation, when it's not, it's different states and different people. Heights of hypocrisy," he added.

Adityanath had on Monday said that the state government will provide social security and insurance to labourers and no state can take manpower from Uttar Pradesh without his government's permission.

"If any state wants manpower, they cannot take our people from the state without our permission as there were reports of misbehaviour with them in other states. We are taking full responsibility for labourers' social security. We will provide every kind of security to them including insurance. Wherever they will go, we will always stand by them," Yogi said.

The Chief Minister said that skill mapping is being done in Uttar Pradesh and a commission will be set up for labourers to ensure employment for them.

On Sunday, Adityanath had ordered the formation of a 'Migration Commission' for the purpose of providing the workers, who have returned to the state during the lockdown phase, with employment suited to their skills.
