K'taka CM Bommai Appoints District In-charge Ministers, Keeps Bengaluru Urban to Himself

News 18  

Almost six months into his government coming to office, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday allocated districts among the Ministers of his Cabinet, of which they will be in-charge, while keeping the key Bengaluru urban district with himself. While at least two senior ministers- Revenue Minister R Ashoka and Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J C Madhuswamy have not been assigned any districts; three Ministers- B C Patil, K Gopalaiah and Shankar B Patil Munenakoppa have been allocated two districts each. With the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike elections due to take place, it was earlier widely expected that the responsibility of Bengaluru development would be allocated to a senior Minister from the city, but the Chief Minister has retained it like his predecessor B S Yediyurappa did, keeping in view the number of aspirants for it. Interestingly, B Sriramulu who represents Molakalmooru Assembly segment in Chitradurga has got his home district of Ballari; while C N Ashwath Narayana continues as Ramanagra district in-charge, where he seems to be in a turf war with Congress’ “D K brothers”, Ministers and districts allocated to them are- Govind Karjol, K S Eshwarappa, V Somanna, Umesh Katti, S Angara, Araga Jnanendra, C C Patil, Anand Singh, Kota Shrinivas Poojari, Prabhu Chauhan, Murugesh Nirani.
