Bengaluru: Expressing disappointment over MLA Laxmi Hebbalkar’s comments after Congress high command’s decision to allot a ministerial berth to Dr. Jayamala, the latter said, “There is a medicine for every disease in the world, but none for jealousy”
It may be recalled that Hebbalkar, one of the woman aspirants for a ministerial berth in the coalition government had questioned the parameters on which opportunity was given to Jayamala. “I have suffered injustice. Maybe party leaders liked the service of Jayamala,” said a disheartened Hebbalkar.
Speaking to media persons, Jayamala said, “I have reached to this level in politics with my achievements. That kind of statement, I found her statement improper.”
Jayamala happens to be the only woman leader in the 25-member Cabinet that was sworn-in on June 6. She was given the Women and Child Welfare Department Ministry.
