Tumakuru, June 4: Deputy Chief Minister Dr G Parameshwar said that HD Kumaraswamy will be the Chief Minister for five years as there is neither confusion nor differences in the coalition government.

In his first visit to the district Congress officer after becoming the deputy chief minister, here on Tumakuru, Parameshwar said that out of 11 Assembly constituencies, the Congress has won in three constituencies. The voters have supported the Congress even in other constituencies and it was his responsibility to thank them, he said.

“We have formed a coalition government as there is a legal provision for it. Based on this, we had requested the Governor. But the Governor had invited the BJP as it was the single largest party to form the government. We had moved the Supreme Court against it. Everyone knows the next development. Before the floor test, Yeddyurappa resigned from the post. Later, we have proved the majority in the floor test and we will run the government for five years without any problem”, he said.

The state has received timely monsoon. The government has already directed the agriculture department to distribute fertilizer and seeds in time. There is sufficient seeds and fertilizer. The government work for the welfare of the farmers. District incharge minister would be appointed for each district shortly. He would have the credit of representing Tumakuru district as the first Deputy Chief Minister. He would make use of this opportunity and bring more programmes to the district, he said.

DK Shivakumar was a honest and disciplined soldier of the party. He does not have any difference. He would handle any responsibility in the party. It would be disclosed on June 6 that who will become the ministers. Portfolios would be distributed keeping in mind the social justice, he said.

Cong-JDS combine to contest LS polls

Both Congress and JDS would contest together for the Lok Sabha election in the state. But it was not yet decided about seat sharing. Whether Kumaraswamy is the CM for five years or not is the problem of Congress party and not the media issue. Congress general secretary has already clarified about it, he said.

Imphal, Nov 24: The autopsy reports of three of the six persons killed in Manipur's Jiribam district by suspected Kuki militants revealed multiple bullet injuries and lacerations on various parts of their bodies, officials said on Sunday.

The report of three-year-old Chingkheinganba Singh showed that his right eye was missing and he had a bullet wound in the skull, they said.

The report also noted cut wounds, fractures in the chest, and lacerations on the forearm and other parts of his body. Signed on November 17, the report indicated that the child's body was in a "state of decomposition", they added.

The report said the cause of death would be pending until the receipt of the chemical analysis report of viscera from the Directorate of Forensic Sciences in Guwahati, officials said.

The post-mortem examinations were conducted at the Silchar Medical College Hospital (SMCH) in Assam's Cachar district.

The report also detailed the injuries sustained by his mother, L Heitonbi Devi (25), who had "three bullet wounds in the chest and one in the buttock", officials said.

According to the report, her body was brought to SMCH on November 18, around seven days after her death, they said.

The child's grandmother, Y Rani Devi (60), suffered five bullet wounds -- one in the skull, two in the chest, one in the abdomen, and one in an arm, officials said.

Her body was brought to SMCH on November 17, at least three to five days after her death, the report noted.

The autopsy reports also showed deep lacerations on many parts of the bodies of the two women.

The cause of Rani Devi's death is also yet to be known, awaiting the chemical analysis report of the viscera, officials said.

The post-mortem reports of one more woman and two children are still pending, they said.

The six persons belonging to the Meitei community had gone missing from a relief camp in Jiribam after a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants that resulted in the deaths of 10 insurgents on November 11.

Their bodies were found in the Jiri river in Jiribam district, and the nearby Barak river in Assam's Cachar over the next few days.
