Oppn set to haul Cong govt over various issues in legislature

A re-energised BJP is geared up to take on the Siddaramaiah government on various issues in the nearly month-long session of the Karnataka legislature beginning tomorrow.
The law and order situation, garbage crisis in Bangalore, sugarcane growers issue, friction in the top echelon of Bangalore police and issues concerning the state like Cauvery are expected to figure in the session, the longest in recent years.
The ruling Congress itself is grappling with a litany of complaints against the style of functioning of several ministers, with party legislators giving vent to their displeasure about their inaccessibility at the Congress Legislature Party meeting early this week.

Congress is also facing an internal pressure from several ministerial aspirants for expansion, but the Chief Minister has made it clear that it will happen only after the session ends.
KPCC President G Parameshwara, who is said to be keen on becoming Deputy Chief Minister, had given strong indications that there would be a reshuffle in the cabinet, as several ministers are under the scanner for not performing up to the mark.
