Bagalkot, Jun 10: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah has dropped clear hits that the ministers, who have currently been sworn-in, may be dropped from the Cabinet to make way for other MLAs.

Speaking to reporters at Nilagunda, in Bagalkot district, the Congress leader said that the ministers will be given two years and other aspirants will be given a chance after that. 

He offered to resolve differences in the Congress over the allocation of ministerial berths, by talking to the party high command.

He said that he was in constant touch with MLAs and speaking to them at least three times a day. "They are satisfied. There is no dissatisfaction among them," he claimed.

Denying that the Delhi high command had summoned him, Siddaramaiah said that he had not been to Delhi for that reason. "But I have spoken to the high command over the phone," he added.

Quizzed about making MLA M B Patil deputy chief minister (DyCM), Siddaramaiah said that no more DyCM positions would be created as of now. "As for the post of KPCC president, (AICC chief) Rahul Gandhi will take a decision," he added.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
