Mangalore, October 15: B Nagaraj Shetty, former minister, has been made the State Vice President of the Janata Dal (Secular).

The official announcement was made by M B Sadashiva, District President, JD(S) at a press meet organized by the party in Mangalore on Monday.

Amarnath Shetty, Former Minister and senior party leader, handed over the charge of the post to Mr. Shetty on the occasion and said that the party has been strengthened with the inclusion of Mr. Shetty. A combined effort will be made by all leaders in strengthening the party at grass root level, he said.

The post has been specially created for Nagaraj Shetty by H D Kumaraswamy, State President, Mr. Sadashiva said. The JD(S) now has two senior State Vice Presidents in Nagaraj Shetty and Amarnath Shetty besides Sushil Noranha representing the minorities, he added.

When asked as to why he had accepted the post when he had made it clear while joining the party that he does not seek any position, Mr. Shetty said that he had not asked for the post. “I did not ask for this post. This was given to me and I accepted it”, he said. Mr. Sadashiva too joined Mr. Shetty in his defense and said that Mr. Shetty was not aspiring for any post and that it is a 'surpise gift' the party has given him.

When asked if he would accept the party's proposal for an election ticket, Mr. Shetty reiterated his claim that he will not contest elections. “My life is now reserved for JD(S) and I will work as a party activist for the welfare of the poor, needy, the minorities and the backward classes. I maintain that I am not in the party with an eye on any post. I am even willing to work as the PA of 'Kumaranna' (Kumaraswamy)”, Mr. Shetty said.

Bengaluru, July 13: The Karnataka government today announced the cancellation of I PUC supplementary examinations across the state. 

Primary and Secondary Education minister S Suresh Kumar announced that the government took the decision in the wake of rising cases of Covid-19 and re-introduction of the lockdown. According to sources in the education department, as many as 60,000 students were supposed to appear for the examination.

Previously, the state government had decided to hold these exams at the college level in every district and publish the results by 30 July. However, the government has withdrawn even that arrangement and completely cancelled the exams. 

According to the minister, all the students who failed in the I PUC examination, shall also be promoted to II PUC. "The students who have attended all the subjects but unable to pass the exams will also be promoted to the next class," Suresh Kumar said.

However, those who missed out on the exams due to health reasons or failed in the examinations will be given a small test at the time of commencing classes for II PUC to assess their learning ability at the college level, according to the minister. "Only those students who missed out on the examination due to shortage of attendance will not be promoted to the next class," Suresh Kumar clarified.
