Irked by seer's demand of three ministerial berth to his community; Yediyurappa offers to resign
Davangere: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday while acknowledging the role of MLAs in him becoming the Chief Minister of the state. Speaking at Harajatra festival in Davangere, the Chief Minister also added how the 17 disgruntled MLAs of Congress and JD(s) “blessed” him to become the CM of the state.
Yediyurappa in his address also sought support from the people in a bid to provide stable and development oriented government in the state for next three years. He also said he was ready to resign from the post of the CM if the people of the state believes that he was not an able CM.
Replying to the demand of Vachanananda swami of granting his community three ministerial berth to continue receiving support of the community, Yediyurappa added that his position as the CM of the state was not so stable owing mostly to the weak financial condition of the state.
Irked by the straightforward demand of the seer, Yediyurappa offered to resign as the CM of the state.
“I am struggling hard to get the financial stability to the state. If I you think I am not good enough to continue as the CM, I am ready to resign. I want your support and co-operation in running the state smoothly for next three years” Yediyurappa said while assuring the seer that he will consider his community grants before the next budget of his government.

Trump repeats claim he stopped potential nuclear war between India and Pakistan
New York/Washington (PTI): US President Donald Trump has repeated his claim of resolving the India-Pakistan conflict and asserted that Islamabad's leadership credited him for saving millions of lives.
"We stopped a potential nuclear war between Pakistan and India. And the head of Pakistan, a highly respected General, he's a Field Marshal and also the Prime Minister of Pakistan, said President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more...,” Trump said Monday.
He made these remarks at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, flanked by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John Phelan, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“You know, eight planes were shot down. That war was starting to rage, and he actually said the other day that President Trump saved 10 million lives, maybe more. So we solved all these wars. The only one I haven't solved yet is Russia, Ukraine,” he said.

Since May 10, when Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a “full and immediate” ceasefire after a “long night” of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 60 times that he “helped settle” the tensions between the two neighbours.
New Delhi has consistently denied any third-party intervention.
India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
