With the Karnataka council of ministers permitted to have a maximum strength of 34 members, including the chief minister, several berths remain vacant.Responding to criticism from the BJP regarding the lack of women ministers, Shivakumar said, “Let them (BJP) wait; there are a lot of vacancies. Last time, too, there were no women in the first round. We are all there,” he was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.Emphasising his party’s record on women’s welfare, he added, “We have set a model in the country.”The issue has drawn criticism not only from the opposition but also from within the Congress. Leader of the opposition R Ashoka questioned the government’s decision to leave women out of the first round of cabinet expansion.Senior Congress leader Margaret Alva also voiced concern over the composition of the ministry. In a post on X, she said, “Congratulations to DK Shivakumar on being sworn in as Karnataka CM. I wish him and his team success. I would have loved to see at least one Congress woman in the new Karnataka Cabinet sworn in today. Deeply disappointed that there isn’t one.”Of the 13 ministers sworn in, 11 had served in the previous Siddaramaiah-led government. MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of former chief minister Siddaramaiah, and U T Khader, who recently stepped down as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, were the only new entrants to the cabinet.Senior Dalit leader G Parameshwara was appointed deputy chief minister.Despite expectations of broader representation, no woman legislator found a place in the first phase of cabinet formation. In the previous Siddaramaiah government, Lakshmi Hebbalkar was the sole woman minister.

He is a good friend of mine, and we get along well. We have a good relationship,” Trump said.Expressing optimism about the impending trade deal with New Delhi, Trump said the United States is “making a lot of money with India”.“For years, India took advantage of the United States. They charged us tremendous tariffs and paid nothing. Now it is the exact reverse and we are making a lot of money with India. But we will get to a deal,” he added.Trump’s latest remark comes a day after his administration proposed an additional 12.5% tariff on imports from 60 economies, including India.Momentum towards a deal has strengthened in recent weeks. US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said the negotiations were nearing completion, with only a limited number of issues still unresolved. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has similarly indicated that most matters have been settled, with discussions now centred on finalising the remaining details before the first phase of the agreement is unveiled.A separate USTR proposal could further complicate negotiations. The review, conducted under Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974, covers 60 economies and focuses on concerns surrounding imports allegedly linked to forced labour.Earlier, India and the United States wrapped up four days of trade negotiations in New Delhi between June 1 and June 4, with officials from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), led by its chief negotiator, holding discussions with Indian counterparts on issues such as trade in goods, customs procedures, trade facilitation, non-tariff barriers and economic security cooperation.Both sides termed the talks constructive and said efforts were underway to conclude a mutually beneficial interim trade pact, while negotiations on a broader Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) continue in parallel.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
