I won’t use government car until my work is done: Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi
Belagavi, Oct 07: "I will not use government car until my work is done. I am a very religious man,” clarified Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.
Addressing media persons here on Sunday, the sugar baron from Belagavi said “I have not attended the last five Cabinet meetings. I will abstain from cabinet meetings in the future as well,” he informed.
I am not upset over my portfolio. Even if I am given the library department, I will accept it. Several things cannot be revealed in front of the media. For me, religion is important than a ministerial berth.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
