Bengaluru, Jun 21: In a sudden development after the recent Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka, UT Khader has been reportedly shifted from the Ministry of Health and Family Affairs to the Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies.
According to the Congress party sources, Mr. Rao was dropped from the ministry so that his services could be drafted to organise the party in the light of 2018 Assembly polls.
The CM meanwhile, has reportedly urged Mr Khader, who had topped a series of surveys conducted by various news agencies to assess the performance of ministers the state, to introduce much awaited reforms in the food department.
Sources claimed that Ramesh Kumar, who was newly inducted into Cabinet, will succeeed Mr Khader as the Minister for Health and Family Affairs.
Byre Gowda, Patil Cabinet ministers
Meanwhile, Mr Siddaramaiah elevated Krishna Byre Gowda and Sharan Prakash Patil as Cabinet rank ministers. So far, they were ministers of state for agriculture and medical education respectively.
With Vokkaligas unhappy over not getting berths in the reshuffle, it seems Siddaramaiah has adopted appeasing tactics by making Gowda a Cabinet minister.
Patil, a Lingayat MLA from Sedam of Kalaburagi, is a known close associate Mallikarjun Kharge, MP. A proposal to make them Cabinet ministers went from the government to the Governor on June 18. A notification making the changes was issued on Monday.

I am a APL card holder. When we get ration coupons, in coupons for APL 5 kg rice and 5 kg wheat. When we go to ration shop if we say i do not want wheat only 5 kg rice they do not give. They says if you want rice you should take wheat also. Other wise change in your coupon for rice only. But we can not change only rice.
Kindly tell what is the procedure for only rice and no wheat for me.
Sir,
There is shortage of Non subsidised Commercial L.P.Gas cylinder of 19 Kg capacity in the market as HPCL has stopped giving new cylinders to the dealers since past 6 months.
The reason stated is that the turnaround ratio is less than 1 per month.
It is very surprising stand in the open market regime and HPCL has no ground to take such decision in general. The new release is stopped to those dealers who has more than 1 turnaround per month.
Black marketing of commercial cylinders is now a reality.Thanks to HPCL !!!
You are requested to appraise our food minister to manage this issue and oblige.
Regards
