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.

Jan 31: A bunch of fishermen in Kerala is being praised for releasing an endangered shark back into water. A video posted on Twitter shows the fishermen releasing the whale shark that was trapped in their nets back into the sea.

The video was posted on Twitter by InSeason Fish - a group working towards environmental conservation, sustainable fisheries and healthy oceans. Filmed in Kerala's Kozhikode, it shows fishermen on a fishing vessel with the huge whale shark.

Whale sharks are the largest fish in the ocean and can reach up to 40 feet in length. Distinguished by their white spots, this shark is on International Union for Conservation of Nature's list of endangered species.

In the video, at least seven fishermen are seen working together to lift the thrashing whale shark up with the help of ropes and releasing it into the water.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
