What Siddaramaiah said about another DCM post?
Bagalkote, June 10: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah denied the chances of creating another Deputy Chief Minister post in the coalition government as all confusions and differences among Congress MLAs were solved.
Speaking to reporters at Neelaguma village in Badami assembly constituency on Sunday, Siddaramaiah said that he discussed with the party high command and the dissidents. He has convinced them, but he has not given any promises, he said.
News that he has not contacted the dissident MLAs is just a rumour. He has been speaking to them once or twice daily. Those who were appointed as ministers now would continue for two years. Later, other eligible MLAs would get the opportunity, he clarified.
The high command has not invited him to New Delhi. AICC president Rahul Gandhi would take a decision on appointing KPCC president. He would not recommend anybody for the KPCC president post. If Rahul Gandhi asked him, he would convey his opinion, he added.
The first meeting of the Coordination Committee of the JDS-Congress coalition government will be held under the chairmanship of Siddaramaiah either a private hotel or Kumara Krupa guest house in Bengaluru on June 14.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
