Bengaluru: In response to Food and Civil Supplies Minister KH Muniyappa's recent suggestion that "senior ministers should leave their ministerial posts two and a half years later," Karnataka's Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara has made it clear that he has no intentions of stepping down from his ministerial position.

While Muniyappa's statement has stirred discussions within the Congress government in Karnataka, Dr. Parameshwara, addressing the media on Thursday, emphasized that the opinion did not apply to him and affirmed his commitment to his current role.

Regarding Muniyappa's viewpoint, Dr. Parameshwara remarked, "While there is no issue with Muniyappa's statement, I personally am not inclined to follow suit. It is solely his individual perspective."

Muniyappa's earlier statement generated significant attention and raised eyebrows within the Karnataka Congress. He had asserted, "Empowering all members is crucial to bolster the party's political strength. I am prepared to step down from my ministerial role without reservations or objections."

Bareilly (UP), May 18 (PTI): A court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for starving his wife to death in 2021.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Gyanendra Tripathi on Saturday also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict Manoj.

Manoj, a resident of Kareli village, had locked his wife Mamta without food and water in a room for a week following a quarrel, Additional District Government Advocate (ADGC) Sunil Pandey said.

The matter came to light when neighbours complained to police about a foul smell emanating from his house. Police found Mamta's decomposed body wrapped in a blanket under the bed.

A case was subsequently filed against Manoj by Mamta's father.

Pandey said the court found that Mamta died due to hunger and thirst.
