New Delhi, Jun 30: Law Minister Sadanand Gowda is likely to be dropped by the Union cabinet among a few other ministers as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set for a cabinet reshuffle.

dvsIf this happens, it would be the second time that Gowda is shunted out of a ministerial position. Prior to taking over as the law minister in November 2014, he was in-charge of the Railways. However, Gowda was perceived as lacking any big idea for the ministry and was seen as someone who was unable to get work done, according to a report published in a national daily.

The upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh could also have a bearing on the upcoming reshuffle, which is likely to happen by July 4, as Mr Modi's another foreign tour commences on July 5. As many as four prominent names from Uttar Pradesh, including Yogi Adityanath, Mahesh Sharma, Sanjeev Balyan and Raghav Lakhanpal, are reported to be doing the rounds for a berth in the Cabinet.

While Yogi Adityanath has frequented in the news for his public statements which have been termed as 'hate speech', Sanjeev Balyan is accused of being involved in the Muzaffarnagar riots of 2013. In fact, Balyan had raised the issue of the riots in February this year, when he campaigned for the BJP for the bypolls in Muzaffarnagar, according to reports.

Among other likely changes, Union Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilisers Nihal Chand may be dropped from the government while Arjun Meghwal, a senior leader from Rajasthan, could be brought in.

The names of Navjot Singh Sidhu, Rameshwar Teli from Assam and Bhagat Singh Koshyari and Ajay Tamta from Uttarakhand are also doing the rounds. There is no representation from Uttarkhand in the Cabinet at present.

Party sources said more representation may also be given to Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Recently, Union Minister of State for Sports Sarbananda Sonowal took over as the Assam Chief Minister. Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Vijay Sampla has been made BJP Punjab unit president.

Everyday shaitan rewards his fellow mates for the evil created among the people and society... But he rewards the best and first place to the one who make the people divorce and separation.
Similarly the evil doers are planning in the same level, the more u give hate speech and evil in the society U will be rewarded.

But infront of the CREATOR everything will be brought back ONE day, Just like he created us before... The day it will be accounted what is done in this earth .
And that day no one will escape even if he has mountains of Gold for bribe...
Justice will done to each and every individual on that day...
The OPPRESSORS may laugh at this stage cos of the mercy of ALLAH,
Our good deeds will be helpful on that day & our bad deed will haunt us permanently from that day... So do more good deeds instead of spreading hatred in the society.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the "RSS needs to be defeated to save the country" and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are "destroying the nation".

Kharge was speaking at a KPCC program where DK Shivakumar took charge as state Congress president.

He said that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not ready to take accountability for any issues including China, and are instead blaming Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of getting funds from China.

"Rajiv Gandhi foundation utilized funds for the development of the nation and for the betterment of the downtrodden people," Kharge said.

"Prime Minister Modi and Shah both are destroying the economy of the nation, and their policies and plans are the reason for increasing COVID-19 situation in India," he said.

"Prime Minister and Amit Shah never listen to Opposition parties, instead they plan something and their policies are the reason for MSME losses and job losses in the country," he added.
