Give two ministerial berths to minority community: Minister Zameer Ahmed
Belagavi, Dec 13: “We have asked two ministerial berths to minority community during Cabinet expansion. Minorities have played a major role in winning 80 seats in the last Assembly election by the Congress”, said Minority Welfare, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan said.
Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, the Minister said that the Cabinet would be expanded on December 22 and there was no doubt in it. But they would follow the High Command decision whatever it may be. Even if he was dropped from the Cabinet, he would be ready to accept it, he said.
The Congress high command has decided that HD Kumaraswamy has to continue as the Chief Minister in the Congress-JDS coalition government for the next five years. They were not putting any pressure and the Chief Minister was given free hand. The statement given by former minister Basavaraj Horatti was his personal opinion, he clarified.
Regarding the court direction on the report of the State Minority Commission chairman Anwar Manippady, encroachment of Wakf Board property, he has no information. He would discuss with the senior officers of the department and take a decision on the court verdict, he said.

It's all drama: Mamata on PM making pit stop to buy 'jhalmuri' during Bengal poll campaign
Kolkata (PTI): West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unscheduled stop to buy ‘jhalmuri’ during poll campaigning was "drama".
Her comment came a day after Modi made a pit stop during his campaign tour in Jhargram to buy ‘jhalmuri’, a popular Bengali street food made of puffed rice, green chillies, and other spices.
"It's all drama. How come a camera was present when the Prime Minister suddenly made an unscheduled stop during the campaign? The entire episode was scripted. He was seen carrying a Rs 10 note in his pocket. Is it believable?" Banerjee said without naming Modi.
The TMC supremo was addressing a poll rally in Murarai assembly constituency in Birbhumm district.
