JDS-Cong coalition govt will complete 5-year term, says Dy CM

Amid continuing disquiet in the JDS-Congress coalition over ministerial berths, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara today said he was confident about the government completing its five year term.

"At the beginning (of new government) there will be such confusion but by solving them we will complete five years," Parameshwara told reporters here.

There is growing discontent among newly elected Congresslawmakers who were left out during the Cabinet expansion, with many openly expressing dissatisfaction and holding separatemeetings.

Responding to a question about disgruntlement within the party, Parameshwara, who is also the Pradesh Congress chief, said Legislators would have to understand the situation as it was a coalition government.

"Things are getting right, we have tried to convince that six ministerial berths are still to be filled in, so there is still oppertunity; we have also said that after two years there will be change of ministers."
