Bengaluru, June 1: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that he would thank the party high command for appointing him as the head of the Congress-JDS Coalition Government Coordination Committee.
Speaking to reporters at Hotel Ashok here on Friday after a joint press conference, Siddaramaiah said that let both the parties work in coordination in the coalition government. Coordination Committee has been constituted to ensure no differences among partners. This Committee would meet once or twice in a month or on need basis to discuss on the decisions to be taken by the government. Even the manifestos of both the parties would also be discussed and plan a minimum programme for the welfare of the people of the state, he said.
It is not fair that the JDS has upper hand in terms of sharing portfolios. Decision was taken only after discussing with each other. The statement that those who will not get portfolios would rebel is just a rumour, he said.

New Delhi, Nov 9: Ace Indian cueist Pankaj Advani clinched a historic 28th world title, seventh in a row, defeating England’s Robert Hall 4-2 at the IBSF World Billiards Championship in Doha on Saturday.
Advani’s winning streak had begun in 2016 and has also survived two years (2020, 2021) of vacuum created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hall took an early lead in the opening frame, but the Indian rallied to reach the magic 150 first. He then delivered an astonishing unfinished 147 break in the second frame, leaving Hall stunned. The third frame was a masterclass in tactical brilliance from both finalists.
Advani emerged victorious in the cerebral duel, positioning himself just one frame away from making history.
However, Hall refused to bow out quietly, crafting a flawless 151 break in the fourth frame to keep his hopes alive.
The fifth frame saw Hall on fire once more, delivering another stunning 154 break to level the pressure on Advani.
But the Bengaluru man elevated his game in the sixth frame with a crucial century break. After a series of strategic safety exchanges, the Indian maestro crossed the finish line.
“It feels amazing to be on a winning streak of world billiards titles. It wasn’t easy though. The competition was tough.
“When I was not in full flow, it was my brother Shree, a sports psychologist, who came to the rescue. He helped me stay in the present and kept the scoreboard ticking. This win is for my country and family,” said Advani.
Score (Final): Pankaj Advani (India) beat Robert Hall (England): 151(71)-94(87), 151(147)-0, 150-84, 74(74)-151(151), 6-154(154), 152(105)-46.
