Coordination Committee for smooth functioning of coalition government: Siddu
Bengaluru, June 1: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that he would thank the party high command for appointing him as the head of the Congress-JDS Coalition Government Coordination Committee.
Speaking to reporters at Hotel Ashok here on Friday after a joint press conference, Siddaramaiah said that let both the parties work in coordination in the coalition government. Coordination Committee has been constituted to ensure no differences among partners. This Committee would meet once or twice in a month or on need basis to discuss on the decisions to be taken by the government. Even the manifestos of both the parties would also be discussed and plan a minimum programme for the welfare of the people of the state, he said.
It is not fair that the JDS has upper hand in terms of sharing portfolios. Decision was taken only after discussing with each other. The statement that those who will not get portfolios would rebel is just a rumour, he said.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
