Cabinet expansion in September: Dinesh Gundu Rao
Mangaluru: KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao on Tuesday said that the Cabinet would be expanded after local bodies’ election in September.
He was speaking at a press conference held at Congress office in Mallikatte here on Saturday.
The state government has given the right status to Siddaramaiah. The Chief Minister's position will not change until the next assembly elections. Kumaraswamy will be the chief minister and will lead the state for five years. No discussions were held regarding upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he said.
The central BJP government has pushed the country into peril. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said about: development, money from abroad, support for farmers, protection of women, security and to control terrorism. But he has failed to do any developmental work so far.
The four-year report card of the central government shows the utter failure of the Narendra Modi-led government. It has failed in creating jobs for youth. The BJP is trying to win the elections here by playing with people's feelings and through Hindutva.
The BJP MPs from Karnataka have been silent on the issues like flood relief, Mahadai, Kaveri and special status for Hyderabad Karnataka. They do not raise voice against anything. The people of the country know the BJP’s mask politics.
The state of Jammu and Kashmir has become a safe place for militants during the BJP’s rule. Thousands of Indian soldiers are martyred by them. The central government is misleading the people of the country. The country will be informed about the defeat of the BJP-ruled state, he said.
Violent acts have been increasing since the BJP government came into power in the country. BJP MLAs held yatras in favor of the accused in Unnao and Kathua rape cases. With this, the BJP has come to the rescue of the accused. Women in the country are not giving any priority," he said.
Minorities, Dalits today cannot speak against the central government and the BJP. If they talk, they are being attacked. Threat calls are coming to Prof. K.S. Bhagwan, Girish Karnad, Nidummamadi
Urban Development and Housing Minister UT Khader, Vice-President Ivan D'Souza, Harish Kumar and others were present.

Saudi Arabia says US Embassy in Riyadh attacked by two drones, causing a 'limited fire'
Dubai (AP): Israel and the United States pounded Iran on Monday in an escalating campaign that US President Donald Trump said would likely take several weeks. Tehran and its allies hit back across the region, striking Israel and a variety of targets inside Gulf states, including energy facilities in Qatar and the American embassy in Saudi Arabia.
The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the lack of any apparent exit plan set the stage for a prolonged conflict with far-reaching consequences. Safe havens in the Mideast like Dubai have seen incoming fire; hundreds of thousands of airline passengers are stranded around the globe; energy prices shot up; and U.S. allies pledged to help stop Iranian missiles and drones.
Saudi Arabia said early Tuesday that the US Embassy in Riyadh came under attack from two drones, which caused a “limited fire” and minor damage. Further details weren't immediately available. On Monday, the US Embassy compound in Kuwait was struck.
