Tumkur: The news regarding Ramesh Jarkiholi is far from the truth. Getting disappointed during cabinet expansion is common. The party will convince him. Everything will be in normal condition within a week, Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar said.
Answering the queries of reporters in the city, he said that the senior, junior, everybody is capable of joining the cabinet. But this must be followed as per the decision of the high command. "Getting disappointed is common during cabinet expansion. Everyone has the desire to become a minister. Quitting party, for this reason, is far from the truth. I have spoken to some MLAs through telephone. No one has said anything about quitting the party," he said.
Neither Krishna Bhairagowda nor I am responsible for skipping Ramalinga Reddy from getting a berth. The top brass makes every decision," Parameshwar clarified.
"No MLA is leaving the party. Our government is secure. Post sharing will be completed within two days," he added.

Mysuru (PTI): Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Tuesday accused the Congress government in Karnataka of "neglecting" the farmers in the state and being involved in corruption.
The JD(S) leader took part in an event where President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the 1066th Jayanthi celebrations of Adi Jagadguru Sri Shivarathreeshwara Shivayogi Mahaswamiji at Malavalli in Mandya district, which comes under his Lok Sabha constituency.
"I saw a report that 2,800 farmers have died by suicide after this government came to power (in state). The government seems to be not concerned about the farmers. This government on coming to power said that it will give Rs 24,000 crore as loan to 32 lakh farmers for their farming activities, but till November, about Rs 12,000 crore has been paid to 24 lakh farmers, limiting to what was there earlier by managing the books of account," Kumaraswamy said.
Speaking to reporters here, he said, "These things show the failures of this government. Also, there is a corrupt system. I will not speak about it now. After December 20, I will speak to you in detail. There are a lot of issues to share with you."

Responding to a question, the JD(S) leader, who turned 66 today, said there is no use of giving any documents. "I'm waiting for the right time."
Regarding the Congress government introducing a bill against "hate speech" in the Assembly, Kumaswamy said it is aimed at silencing the opposition in the state, but they won't be successful.
"What do Congress leaders have to say about their workers' comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi?. He cited slogans -- 'Modi teri kabr khudegi, aaj nahi to kal khudegi' (Modi's grave will be dug.. if not today, then tomorrow) -- allegedly raised against Modi at a Congress rally in Delhi on Sunday.
