New Delhi, Jun 11: JD(S) leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy took charge as the Union Minister for Heavy Industries on Tuesday.
Kumaraswamy, 64, has also been allocated the Steel Ministry portfolio.
"Today, I took charge as Minister of Heavy Industries. I don't want to say that I will do everything. I need some more time. I need to take all information from the senior officials about the problems and how we will solve them. I need two to three days for this," Kumaraswamy told reporters after taking charge.
After taking charge as Union Minister, Kumaraswamy met senior officials of the ministries and head of the public sector undertakings (PSUs).

Congress continues disciplinary action; four Youth Congress district presidents removed
Bengaluru: The Congress high command has continued disciplinary action following allegations of anti-party activities after the by-elections to the Davangere South and Bagalkot Assembly constituencies.
The All India Youth Congress Committee has taken action against four district presidents are Syed Afrid Pasha (Kolar), Ashok B. Nayak (Vijayanagar), Nikhil Raj (Tumakuru), and Syed Abrar (Mysuru City).
The order states that the leaders were found to be inactive in party activities and had failed to discharge their responsibilities effectively. They have been temporarily relieved of their duties.
Earlier, MLC Abdul Jabbar was suspended from primary membership over alleged anti-party activities during the Davangere South by-election, while senior leader and MLC Naseer Ahmed was relieved of his role as the Chief Minister’s political secretary.
The latest action has drawn reactions from some community leaders and party members, with concerns raised over the leadership’s decisions.
