Karnataka: Hours after announcing list of new ministers, dissent against BSY splits BJP into two
Bengaluru: Hours after CM Yediyurappa on Wednesday morning announced the list of new ministers who will be inducted in the state cabinet, voices of dissent surfaced against him from within his party with several ministerial berth aspirants expressing their disappointment on being left out from the cabinet expansion.
Expressing his anguish, MLC H Vishwanath said “God will not bless Yediyurappa. He has failed to live up to his promises. I can’t understand why Yogeshwar has been included in the cabinet. It looks like he knows Yediyurappa’s secrets”.
Bommanahalli MLA M Satish Reddy also questioned the criteria through which new ministers were added to the cabinet. He also questioned Yediyurappa if he or his national leaders cannot see loyal party workers while shortlisting the names of the new ministers in the cabinet.
Another senior party leader Renukacharya also expressed his displeasure about the developments and said he was unhappy with the manner in which new ministers were chosen and finalised.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
