Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai Appoints District In-Charge Ministers

Basavaraj Bommai will continue to remain Minister in-charge for Bengaluru development.

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.

Effecting a complete change to the previous BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government, the Chief Minister has not assigned any minister their home districts under which their Assembly constituency comes.

While at least two senior ministers- Revenue Minister R Ashoka and Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister JC Madhuswamy have not been assigned any districts; three Ministers- BC Patil, K Gopalaiah and Shankar B Patil Munenakoppa have been allocated two districts each.

This is the first time after the Bommai government coming to power, each district has got an in-charge Minister as earlier Ministers were assigned districts only for COVID-19 management and for flag-hoisting at headquarters on Independence Day.
