Jagadish Shettar was sworn in as Karnataka’s Chief Minister on Thursday.
Governor H.R. Bhardwaj administered the oath of office to him in presence of a large number of BJP leaders and supporters.
K.S. Eshwarappa and R. Ashoka were sworn in as deputy chief ministers.
Shettar, who has the backing of former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, became the third BJP chief minister in the state in four years since the party came to power there in 2008.
The outgoing chief minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda was also present on the occasion and was seen seated next to Shettar, who was formally elected as the leader of Karnataka BJP legislature party earlier on Tuesday.
The selection of Shettar as Karnataka’s next chief minister can be viewed as a major victory for state BJP strongman Yeddyurappa, who has not been allowed to reclaim the chief minister’s chair, as he continues to battle illegal mining charges leveled against him by the Karnataka Lokayukta.
Gowda resigned as state chief minister yesterday after a less than comfortable tenure of eleven months, making way for Shettar.

Imphal, July 12: The CAG report on SSA said the Government of India had formulated the National Education Policy in the year 1986 and Right to Education Act in 2009 which inter alia mandated Universal Elementary Education (UEE) of good quality for children in the age group of 6-14 years through provision of schools within one kilometre distance of each habitation with appropriate infrastructure. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) was implemented in Manipur in March 2004 to ensure that all children in the age group 6 to 14 years have access to education. This was boosted with Mid Day Meal (MDM) scheme implemented in February 2009 in all primary and upper primary schools (Government and Aided schools). MDM also served to improve nutritional status of the children. The performance audit of the programme/schemes brought out the following significant audit findings:
SSA was being implemented without proper planning and without carrying out household survey and pre-project activities.
There were short release of fund (Rs 139.63 crore), delay in release of fund and diversion of fund in implementation of SSA.
Teachers were posted in school with zero enrolment and there were schools with no posting of teachers.Despite a trend of low attendance, foodgrains consumption for WO per cent attendance was reported under MDM.
Civil works taken up both under SSA and MDM suffered from many deficiencies/irregularities due to which there were infrastructure gaps.Contract management was weak both under SSA and MDM and there were loopholes in the contract clauses too.

Dimapur, July 12 NNN: The NSCN-IM has straight away dismissed the allegation that the outfit had abducted contractor Irungbam Irabanta on May 27.
The Naga outfit said the report of NSCN-IM’s involvement in the abduction of contractor Irungbam Irabanta on May 27 has come as a bolt from the blue and such baseless allegation must has been motivated with ulterior motive. The NSCN-IM said that given the nature of one Trinamool Congress member Shyamkumar who raised the issue in Manipur Assembly in a very hurried manner without waiting for the police investigation to unveil the truth reflects a strong anti-NSCN-IM campaign.
“What is more surprising is mention of Francis, the then CAO (Central Administration Officer) based in Ukhrul and another Leishi, Leacy as the main culprits. It may be mention that Francis was on leave during the time when the reported abduction took place and he was in Guwahati in connection with his wife’s medical treatment. He was there for more than a week and he knows nothing about such person. Moreover, Francis has never met Irabanta in person nor talk to him on the phone in any matter. His name for any purpose has never showed up in the office of CAO/Wung Tangkhul Region. As such pointing accusing finger against Francis and his Leacy without any concrete evidence can never be accepted,” the NSCN-IM stated.
The outfit then said it also constrains to say that such unwarranted accusation against Francis and Leishi is not only to malign the image of WTR/GPRN but also to create tension on communal line at the behest of the external hands.The family members in question and the general public is therefore urged to have proper inquiry to dig out the fact before pointing fingers at anyone.“Let the truth come out as the chief minister said before the Assembly that the case is under investigation by a special police team,” .
