Bengaluru, Dec 7: Sri Shivakumara Swamiji, the centenarian head of Sri Siddaganga Mutt in Tumakuru, was airlifted on Friday to Chennai for treatment after he suffered gall balder infection and fever.

The seer was taken in an Air Ambulance from HAL Airport. At Chennai he will be admitted to Rela Institute of Medical Centre for treatment.

Earlier in the day, a team of doctors, including Siddaganga Hospital and Research Centre’s director Dr Parameshwarappa, and mutt authorities, including the junior pontiff, held long deliberations about shifting the pontiff to Dr Rela Insitute and Medical Centre at Chromepet in Chennai. 

The doctors consulted Dr Mohamed Rela, an expert in liver transplantation at Chennai, who agreed to examine the ailing pontiff. Sources said Dr Rela had in the past visited the mutt and sought the seer’s blessings. “The seer had his normal food and is responding to the treatment,” a source in the mutt said.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwara called on the 111-year-old Swamiji at the Mutt in Tumakaru and inquired about his health. Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy is also in close touch with the junior seer of Siddaganga Math getting updates of his health and arranged for his travel to Chennai on an Air Ambulance.

Bengaluru, Jan 30: Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who reached the national capital on Thursday, said he will discuss the much-awaited Ministry expansion with the BJP high command.

"It's been long that I visited Delhi. I will meet the party national president J P Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah and take their suggestions on the cabinet expansion," Yediyurappa told reporters.

The chief minister said he will also call on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and discuss about development issues related to Karnataka.

Yediyurappa has been anxiously waiting for the high command's nod to expand his ministry amid intense lobbying by the aspirants.

Opposition parties have been critical of the BJP and Yediyurappa over the delay in cabinet expansion, alleging that he was weak and that the administration had collapsed.

As the chief minister has already made it clear that 11 of the disqualified JDS-Congress MLAs who got re-elected in the bypolls on BJP tickets will be made ministers, lobbying has been on in the party for the remaining ministerial berths.

Currently, there are 18 Ministers, including the chief minister in the cabinet that has a sanctioned strength of 34. Sixteen berths are vacant.

Alisha further said that she wants to give the message that it is okay to start late, but continuity is key to achieve good results.
