Zameer Ahmed Khan to get a berth in coalition government?
Bengaluru, May 30: The exercise on expanding the JDS-Congress coalition government cabinet is almost final and the new ministers are likely to take oath either on Friday or on Monday.
Meanwhile, it is said that former minister Zameer Ahmed is almost certain to become the minister under the minority quota. A few months before the Assembly election, Zameer has joined the Congress and successfully contested from Chamarajpet. He was instrumental in bringing seven MLAs from JDS to the Congress. He has supported the Congress to win in two Rajya Sabha elections. He is also identified as the close aide of former chief minister Siddaramaiah. It is said that Siddaramaiah had promised him of giving ministerial berth if the Congress came to power in the state. Moreover, Congress in-charge in Karnataka Venugopal has also expressed his desire to make Zameer as a minister for the latter’s contribution to the party. So, it is certain that Zameer will get a ministerial berth in the JDS-Congress coalition government.

SC judges to make their assets public, amid row over cash at Justice Yashwant Varma’s house: Report
New Delhi: The Supreme Court judges have reportedly agreed to disclose their assets to the public by publishing the same on the top court's website.
The decision was taken recently at a full court meeting and a resolution in this regard was adopted which will apply to future judges as well, as reported by Bar and Bench on Thursday.
A copy of the resolution is yet to be made public.
According to the report, the decision was taken in the wake of recent controversies surrounding opacity in the functioning of the judiciary, especially after a huge pile of cash was allegedly discovered at the residence of Justice Yashwant Varma, currently a judge of the Allahabad High Court.
The publication of assets on website was not mandatory earlier but was discretionary subject to whether an individual judge wanted to do the same, the report added.
