Mangalore, August 10: Dr B R Ambedkar Pratishthan has come out in strong support of making MLC B S Veeraiah, Mudigere MLA M P Kumarswamy, and Haveri MLA Nehru Olekar ministers in DV Sadanada Gowda cabinet.

Addressing a press meet here on Wednesday, Pratishthan President Shivappa Renkadagutthu said that the trio should represent the Scheduled Caste in the BJP led Government of Karnataka.

He said that four-time MLA N Yogish Bhat, and popular MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary, should also be included in the cabinet to represent Konkani and Billava community respectively.

However, Mr Renkadagutthu accused Dakshina Kannada District In-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar of being “blind” to the problems of the Dalit community. “Palemar was a complete failure in solving the troubles faced by the oppressed classes of our society,” he said.

“On what basis has Palemar been appointed as a minister?” he questioned adding that Pratishthan demands a justification from the Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda for including him in the cabinet.

Mr Renkadagutthu also said that Congress led Union Government should be dissolved as it was engulfed by corruption and scandals such as 2G scam.

Lauding B S Yedyurappa's decision to quit as chief minister after being involved in the mining scam, he advised the Centre to “learn” from him. He also requested the new CM to continue the good works initiated by his predecessor Mr Yeddyurappa.
