Bengaluru, May 22: KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar said that big challenge before both JDS and Congress is to make the coalition government-led by HD Kumaraswamy a success.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Parameshwar said that there was no discussion on keeping Kumaraswamy as Chief Minister for five years. Soon after the swearing in ceremony, leaders of both the parties would sit and discuss the issue. There should be give and take policy between two parties. Allotment of portfolios was also not finalized. Decision on giving Deputy Chief Minister post would be taken based on the experience and capacity. The DCM post could be announced by tomorrow, he added.

There are chances of some Congress leaders taking oath as ministers along with Kumaraswamy during swearing in ceremony, he said.

Chennai (PTI): Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during his team’s IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here.

The last season's runners-up PBKS secured their second sucessive win, defeating five-time champions Chennai Super Kings by five wickets here on Friday.

As this was Punjab Kings’ second offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which relates to minimum over-rate violations, the penalty was enhanced and Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh, said the IPL media advisory.

"The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," it added.
