Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister K S Eshwarappa
today said Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar might reallocate portfolios of
ministers in a week's time."As many as five portfolios might be reallocated by
Shettar in a week's time," Eshwarappa told reporters at Belgaum, some 450
km from here.Eshwarappa had earlier said he was ready to divest himself
of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj departments and hold only the Revenue
portfolio.Reacting to Union Labour Minister Mallikarjun Kharge's
remarks that Shettar does not know Hyderabad-Karnataka region, Eshwarappa said
it was not correct on his part to comment on Chief Minister."In fact, what has Kharge done to Karnataka in his 60
years of political life?" he quipped.After visiting a Goshala in Dharwad, Eshwarappa flayed the
Centre for not releasing funds for taking up drought relief works. "We
have announced Rs 3,500 crore loan waiver benefiting 15 lakh farmers," he
said.
