DK Shivakumar as KPCC chief?
DK brothers express their disappointment before Cong leaders
Bengaluru, May 23: DK brothers have reportedly expressed their displeasure against the Congress leaders for not considering DK Shivakumar who is instrumental in the formation of JDS-Congress coalition government, for Deputy Chief Minister post.
They have been taking care of all MLAs from being poached by the BJP. But when it comes to entrust power, they were being neglected, they reportedly said and MP DK Suresh left Hilton Hotel yesterday night itself.
It is said that Suresh has expressed his anger against the leaders before the party MLAs in the hotel and left the hotel saying that henceforth they would not take up any responsibility and do whatever you want.
Though AICC secretary Yashomati Thakur tried to pacify Suresh, it was in vain. After this incident, KPCC president Dr G Parameshwar tried to call both DK Shivakumar and DK Suresh several times, but could not reach them.
After JDS-Congress meeting at Hotel Taj West End, it is said that DK Shivakumar was demanding Deputy Chief Minister post. But Congress incharge of state KC Venugopal said that since the Chief Minister post was also given to Vokkaliga community, DCM post cannot be given to the same community. Instead, Venugopal advised DK Shivakumar to take the KPCC president responsibility of the Congress in the state.

Ex-RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh's medical registration cancelled
Kolkata (PTI): The West Bengal Medical Council (WBMC) on Thursday cancelled the registration of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital's former principal Sandip Ghosh, an official said.
Ghosh, who is in CBI custody, has been removed from the list of registered medical practitioners maintained by the WBMC, he said.
His licence was cancelled under various provisions of the Bengal Medical Act of 1914, the official said.
He is an orthopaedic surgeon and without the licence, he cannot practice.
Ghosh was arrested by the CBI on September 2 for his alleged involvement in the financial irregularities at the hospital amid the protests over the rape and murder of the on-duty trainee doctor. He was later accused of evidence tampering in the rape-murder case.
Aniket Mahato, one of the leading faces of the junior doctors who have been agitating over the death of their colleague, described it as a "victory".
"This is a victory for our deceased sister. The cancellation of Ghosh's medical registration should have been done the very next day of his arrest. We are happy that the West Bengal Medical Council has finally taken this step," he said.
The West Bengal Doctors' Forum (WBDF), however, described the decision to cancel Ghosh's medical licence as an "eyewash" and an "attempt to save him".
"Registration of Sandip Ghosh has been cancelled as per rules 25 a (2) of the Bengal Medical Act 1914. As per these rules, two-thirds of the council members must vote in favour of the decision to cancel the registration of any medical practitioner. In the case of Ghosh, no such meeting was conducted. Also, at present, a quorum is not possible due to the resignation of a few members and the death of one member. So this order is legally not tenable and just an eye wash," Dr Rajiv Pandey of the WBDF told PTI.
Claiming that the registrar of the council cancelled the licence on verbal communication of WBMC president Sudipta Roy, Pandey said it "was not acceptable".
Ghosh was appointed the principal of the RG Kar Medical College in February 2021. Amid the protests, he resigned from the post.
The notice regarding the cancellation of Ghosh's registration was sent to his Beliaghata and New Town residences.
