Belagavi, Dec 23: Former Karnataka Chief Minister and JDS-Congress Coordination Committee Chairman Siddaramaiah on Sunday said that there is no dissatisfaction among Congress Legislators over Cabinet Expansion and BJP State President B S Yeddyurappa is only day dreaming about becoming Chief Minister.

"It is only a rumour spread about former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi joining BJP quitting Congress. Will anybody join a sinking ship. BJP is a sinking ship in Karnataka and will anybody join it. It is only a speculation and there is no truth in it," he added.

Yesterday rumours were doing rounds that Jarakiholi may join BJP after he was axed from the Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) coalition cabinet. Ramesh's exit from the ministry has paved way for the induction of his younger brother Satish Jarkiholi.

However, Ramesh is reportedly disappointed over his dropping from cabinet following which had announced of quitting as a legislator.

A day after the second cabinet expansion on Sunday, during a brief chat with a television correspondent over the telephone on a question on whether he was resigning as a legislator? Ramesh said, “Yes it confirmed that I will be resigning in a week, but will not reveal the numbers"

Before the cabinet expansion, rumours suggested that Ramesh was exploring the possibilities of quitting congress and joining rival Bharatiya Janata Party. Ramesh did not even attend consecutive cabinet meetings and distanced from the present setup. He chose to remain in Mumbai when he was most expected to attend the cabinet meeting.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
