Deputy CM Parameshwara to pacify those who missed the ministership
Bengaluru: All MLAs of the Congress Party are eligible to be Minister. However, some MLAs did not get the opportunity due to the number-limits, said Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwara.
Speaking at a joint press conference with chief minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday, he said, "It is obvious that supporters of the MLAs who missed the ministerial berth be outraged. ”As the party’s leader, I will talk to all the leaders who have been left out of the cabinet and try to pacify them," he said.
“The new government has come to power in the state, and the cabinet has been expanded. The Chief Minister will soon be handing over the departments to the new ministers,” Parameshwar added.

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.
