Ramesh Jarkiholi, K.S Eeshwarappa attend assembly sessions after 3 days
Assurance of Ministerial position
Belagavi: Former ministers and senior BJP leaders K.S Eeshwarappa and Ramesh Jarkiholi, who were both keen on obtaining ministerial positions, met Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday night. In the background of receiving assurances from the CM regarding their desired ministerial positions, both BJP leaders attended the assembly sessions on Thursday, after forgoing them for the past 3 days.
K.S Eeshwarappa, who arrived to attend the Vidhana Sabha session, addressed the media at the Suvarna Soudha and said, “We didn’t attend the sessions for two days to point out why we were not added to the cabinet during the cabinet expansion despite getting a clean chit in the cases against us. This is not just our question, but the question of the state’s people and the activists. We have no answer to this”, he said.
“Whether it is me or Ramesh Jarkiholi, we did not see the Ministerial position now. Even we know that by becoming ministers in 3 months, we cannot cut anything to raise a hill”, Eeshwarappa said.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
