Bengaluru, Jun 15: Around 10 “non-performing” Ministers in Karnataka may lose their posts as the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is all set for the much awaited reshuffle of State Cabinet and induction of a few new faces.

Untitled-2 copyThe CM feels that this is the right time to the reshuffle as the election cycle' (gram panchayat, zilla panchayat, Legislative Assembly by-polls, Legislative Council, and Raja Sabha elections), is already completed in the state.

Mr. Siddaramaiah is expected to leave for Delhi on Thursday to discuss the matter with the party high command. Several Congress leaders, including some Ministers from the State, are said to be “lobbying” with the high command. Some have submitted a petition demanding that “non-performing” Ministers be dropped.

Senior legislators A.B. Malakaraddy, K.B. Koliwad, Basavaraja Rayareddy, P.M. Ashok, Hampanagouda Badarli, Appaji Nadagouda, G.T. Patil, H.Y. Meti, Ajay Singh, Priyank Kharge, Rizwan Arshad, and Pramod Madhwaraj have been camping in Delhi for the last two days and meeting senior party leaders seeking Cabinet berth, according to sources.

Preliminary discussions were already held between the Chief Minister and AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Digvijaya Singh during the latter's visit to the State last week. The party is also expected to take a decision on appointing a new Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president.

Nearly 30 MLAs have been spearheading the demand for a Cabinet reshuffle, claiming that the government's image has sullied owing to “non-performing” Ministers holding prominent portfolios. Ministers who have faced controversies, such as P.T. Parameshwara Naik, Baburao Chinchansur and eight or nine others, may face the axe, said sources.

Hubballi, Jan 15: Leaders of the Muslim community, Dalit organisations, Congress Party, and others are staging a hunger strike at Dr B R Ambedkar Circle in Hubballi, opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Raising slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, they demanded the withdrawal of the CAA and not to implement NRC.

"India is witnessing such a dictatorship for the first time. The BJP government is trying to divide people into the lines of religion, through CAA and NRC. This move is a threat for peace and harmony in the country," said AICC member Shakir Sanadi, who led the protest.

Sayed Tajuddin Quadri, Moulana Niyaz Alam, Moulana Nayimuddin and others took part in the hunger strike.

Former minister A M Hindasgeri, former MP I G Sanadi, F H Jakkappanavar, Pitambrappa Bilar, and others also extended support to the protest.
