Mr. Jagadeesha was the Managing Director of Rajiv Gandhi Rural Housing Corporation Ltd., Bengaluru, before his July 21 transfer. Even though he was supposed to take charge last week, the out-going DC A B Ibrahim, who met with an accident on July 23, had requested postponement.

Zilla Panchayat CEO Sreevidya formally handed over the charge to Mr Jagadeesha in the absence of Mr Ibrahim, who on Monday took charge as the Commissioner for Transport and Road Safety in Bengaluru.

Born in 1978, Mr. Jagadeesha has a Master's Degree in Genetics and holds a Doctoral Degree in Agriculture. The 38-year-old 2005 batch Indian Administrative Service officer has served as the Deputy Commissioner of Kalaburgi district in the past. More details are awaited.

Bengaluru, Jan 18: The government slammed Kerala’s tourism department for putting out a tweet on Sankranti Day, promoting ‘beef ularthiyathu’, a specialty in that state, but the move backfired spectacularly with Karnataka’s tourism minister being heavily trolled.

After Kerala put out its advertisement, state tourism minister CT Ravi, seizing the opportunity, took a dig at the Left government in Kerala, saying, “Welcome to Karnataka”. He followed that up with another tweet listing delicious “vegetarian” dishes of coastal Karnataka — a coastline which runs to Kerala.

“Welcome to Karnataka to bring out the Vegetarian in you. Enjoy the flavors of Tulu Nadu – Pathrode, Kotte Kadubu, Halasina Hannina Gatti, Avalakki Upkari, Badanekayi Mosaru Gojju and a whole lot of authentic food to hit Your tastebuds,” Ravi’s tweet read.

Ravi’s tweet sparked a debate between those for and against eating beef, including legislators like Sowmya Reddy (Congress) and Shobha Karandlaje (BJP). Some pointed out that Karnataka is 80% non-vegetarian and an appropriate response to beef curry would have been “pandi curry” (wild pig curry) — a Kodagu specialty.

Realising his tweets were getting more negative than positive traction, Ravi quickly amended his stand and on Friday tweeted: “Nati Koli Saaru Mudde. Aw! Delightful Delicacy of Old Mysuru region. Farm bred Chicken traditionally cooked to perfection and served with the soft Ragi Mudde. You will ask for more !!!”
