BJP sources say the ‘deepening standoff’ between judiciary and govt, which has been causing discomfort to Modi dispensation, is ‘primary reason’ for Rijiju’s ouster from law ministry
Kiren Rijiju has been moved out of the Law Ministry to the Earth Sciences; with Siddaramaiah at helm, the Congress has decided to make Shivakumar the sole deputy CM of Karnataka
Kiren Rijiju’s appointment as law minister came as a surprise. So has his replacement. During his tenure, the BJP leader was vocal in his criticism of the judiciary, questioning the appointment of judges and court vacations
