Satish Jarkiholi should become CM: Siddaramaiah
Bagalkot, Dec 19: Batting in favour of his staunch follower, former chief minister and Congress-JDS coalition government coordination committee chairman Siddaramaiah said that former minister Satish Jarkiholi should become the chief minister of the state.
Speaking at a Valmiki Jayanti programme at Badami in the district on Wednesday, Siddaramaiah said that “why Satish Jarkiholi should not become the chief minister? No one is permanent. I believe in social justice. He should also become the chief minister once. I have dragged the social justice rath with all efforts till this point. If it is possible, drag it further. Otherwise, leave it there only. Never ever try to pull it back by listening to somebody. Wheel has to roll down and it should not stop for any reason”, Siddaramaiah said.
Everyone will get chance
Responding to the issue of becoming CM, Satish Jarkiholi said that “everyone in the society would get a chance. But one has to wait for it. Let us see it in future. Minister post is not a must to do development works. Without it, I can do my work. I don’t know about dropping Ramesh Jarkiholi from the Cabinet. Cabinet expansion is fixed on December 22. We will wait till that time. As of now, I am not the aspirant for minister post. My supporters have demanded minister post for me. But it is left to the party high command to give or not. It is better if the Cabinet is expanded. The prediction of Opposition party that the coalition government will collapse after Cabinet expansion will not come true”, he said.
The decision on who should be inducted or dropped from the Cabinet would be decided in New Delhi. He would not accept that north Karnataka was neglected. He would also try to ensure justice in a phased manner, he added.

Iran warns of ‘uncontrollable consequences’ after energy site strike
Qatar warns residents of ‘Elavated’ threat
Tehran/Doha: Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian has warned that attacks on the country’s energy infrastructure could lead to “uncontrollable consequences” affecting the entire world.
In a post on X, Pezeshkian said he “strongly condemns” the strikes that targeted the South Pars gasfield earlier in the day.
“Such aggressive actions will not achieve anything for the American Zionist enemy and their supporters. Rather, they will complicate the situation and could lead to uncontrollable consequences that will affect the entire world,” he said.
Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has urged residents to remain indoors due to what it described as an elevated security threat.
Authorities have not provided further details, but the advisory comes amid growing concerns over the safety of energy infrastructure and civilian areas in the region.
