BSY's 'CM' aspiration is not wrong: Minister DK Shivakumar
Bengaluru: Water resources minister DK Shivakumar took a jibe at BS Yeddyurappa saying that the latter's desire to become the Chief Minister of the state, by dislodging the alliance government is not wrong.
He was speaking to reporters before the swearing-in ceremony of two new ministers at the glasshouse of the Rajbhavan on Friday.
If Yeddyurappa gets happy by saying that the government falls, let him enjoy. We will not be disappointed. Yeddyurappa has been predicting this about the alliance government over the past one year. We have seen the prediction of Yeddyurappa and have also seen the predictions of BJP leaders," he said.

Husband has to equally participate in household chores as he is not marrying a maid: SC
New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday said a husband has to equally participate in household chores like cooking, cleaning and washing as he is not marrying a maid but a life partner.
The observations came from a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta which was hearing a petition filed by a man challenging an order of the Karnataka High Court.
The high court had set aside a trial court order granting divorce to the man on the ground of cruelty.
During the hearing before the apex court, the counsel appearing for the man said the mediation between the parties had failed.
He said the marriage between the parties took place in May 2017 and since 2019, the couple is separated.

"I (man) want a divorce. The trial court granted a divorce on the ground of cruelty," the counsel said.
The bench asked what the cruelty was as alleged in the matter.
The counsel appearing for the man said the woman had indulged in improper behaviour and was not cooking food.
"You have to equally participate in all these. Cooking, cleaning, washing, everything. Today's times are different," Justice Nath observed, adding the high court was right that it might not be a ground for cruelty.
"You are not marrying a maid. You are marrying a life partner," Justice Mehta observed.
The bench was told that both of them were working in a government school.
"Call both parties physically. We would like to speak to them," the bench said.
It posted the matter for hearing on April 27 and asked both parties to remain present before it.
