Bangalore, July 3, 2014 : DK District in-charge Minister and State Minister for Forest and Ecology B Ramanatha Rai is yet again in the news for dozing off in the House, this time in the Legislative Council.
Rai is quite famous (?) for sleeping in the assembly even as debates go on least bothered about everything and undeterred and unfazed even if he was caught on camera on some earlier occasions.
On July 2, Wednesday however, he came under sharp criticisms from opposition party members who saw him snoring. BJP member Puttaswamy even made a mockery of the minister by requesting to arrange for a bed for the tired minister to take some rest.
Some members were also seen waking up the minister to which Arun Shahpur blamed the entire Congress government and ministers to be in a state of slumber.
But alas, the minister seemed to be least bothered and slipped into sleep again after saying he was just taking some rest.
