Irked by seer's demand of three ministerial berth to his community; Yediyurappa offers to resign
Davangere: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Tuesday while acknowledging the role of MLAs in him becoming the Chief Minister of the state. Speaking at Harajatra festival in Davangere, the Chief Minister also added how the 17 disgruntled MLAs of Congress and JD(s) “blessed” him to become the CM of the state.
Yediyurappa in his address also sought support from the people in a bid to provide stable and development oriented government in the state for next three years. He also said he was ready to resign from the post of the CM if the people of the state believes that he was not an able CM.
Replying to the demand of Vachanananda swami of granting his community three ministerial berth to continue receiving support of the community, Yediyurappa added that his position as the CM of the state was not so stable owing mostly to the weak financial condition of the state.
Irked by the straightforward demand of the seer, Yediyurappa offered to resign as the CM of the state.
“I am struggling hard to get the financial stability to the state. If I you think I am not good enough to continue as the CM, I am ready to resign. I want your support and co-operation in running the state smoothly for next three years” Yediyurappa said while assuring the seer that he will consider his community grants before the next budget of his government.

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
