Stating that the issues like azaan, hijab, and halal meat had been resolved legally and cordially, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday said that providing an efficient and pro-people government was more important.
“Issues like azaan, hijab and halal, which had raised concern, have been resolved legally and cordially. Action has been taken in accordance with Supreme Court and High Court orders. The issues have been tackled efficiently. Giving efficient and pro-people administration is important,” the Chief Minister told presspersons in Hubballi in reaction to the Opposition’s attack on his style of governance.
On the issue of ministerial expansion, Mr. Bommai said that it will be carried out as per the instructions of the party top brass. “After the Supreme Court order on reservation in local bodies, the party is busy preparing for the Legislative Council and Rajya Sabha polls. We had the BJP State Core Committee meeting yesterday. I will contact the party top brass over telephone tomorrow or the day after. The process on Cabinet expansion would happen according to their instructions,” he added.
