Chief minister Yediyurappa doles out Cabinet rank to 17 MLAs


Bengaluru, Dec 17 (IANS): In an apparent bid to buy peace, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on Wednesday offered Cabinet ranks to as many as 13 BJP legislators who are heading various boards and corporations.

Four legislators have been given Minister of State rank, according to notifications issued by the government.

Many of these 17 legislators were lobbying hard to become ministers in Yediyurappa's Cabinet, which is due for an expansion or reshuffle.

According to the sources close to Yediyurappa, by giving them Cabinet and MoS ranks, Yediyurappa is said to have stemmed growing discontent in the party and also sent a signal that they cannot be accommodated in his council of ministers.

The MLAs with a cabinet rank are as follows: M Chandrappa, Duryodhan Mahalingappa Aihole, Nehru Olekar, Narasimha Nayak (Raju Gowda), K. Shivanagouda Nayak, Kalakappa Bandi, Shankar Patil Munenakoppa, K. Madal Virupakshappa, Siddu Savadi, A.S. Patil Nadahalli, Dattatraya C. Patil Revoor, P. Rajeev and S.V. Ramachandra.

The four MLAs with MoS Rank are: Rajkumar Patil Telkur, C.S. Niranjan Kumar, A. S. Jayaram and N. Linganna.

Yediyurappa also gave a Cabinet rank to his media advisor N. Bhrungeesh.

    They do not have money to pay the teachers and also salary to transport workers. But they have money to fill their own pockets and also to waste money on their own security.

    No money for transport workers. No money for teachers.

    However Yediyoorappa has enough money to maintain a bloated ministry and ever increasing boards and corporations.

    Corruption and nepotism is rampant in every walk of our lives. Still the BJP supporters will surely mark few 'dislikes' to this comment. What merits they are seeing in the current system really.

    Yedi, has finally offered them what he has promised to leave the Congress (after a year) and join the BJP so he will be CM. After all, everyone is aspiring for position to make money!!! These MLA's doesn't have Philosophy, ethics and secular views but only intension is to earn money at any cost??? CROSSOVER to other party's is DHARMA OF WEALTH CREATION.

    from the time this useless chaddi yeddi is made CM, the only things he is doing is shuffling ministers, pacifying the factions of root bjp fellows and those who have come from Congress and JD s and all nonsense.

    the central team has come to survey flood in December for what happened in Septemeber.

    Worst ever governance in the history of Karunadu. But still we will vote for them on the basis of caste.

    He has made all the MLAs rich and happy but what about the common citizens who have voted him to power.

    People are suffering from corruption. unemployment, bad roads, rise in prices, communal unrest, fear of beef nan, ban on interfaith marriages, impending NRC and CAA and the list is endless. Can we call this Rama Rajya or achche din???

    ಒಬ್ಬ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯ ಬೆವರು ಸುರಿಸಿ ದುಡಿದ ಹಣ ಕೇವಲ ಆಹಾರ ಪದಾರ್ಥಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಂಡುಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಖರ್ಚು ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ. ಉಳಿತಾಯ ಅನ್ನೋದು ಮರೀಚಿಕೆ ಆಗಿದೆ, ಅವನು ಅನಾರೋಗ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ ದೇವರೇ ಕಾಪಾಡಬೇಕು, ಅಂತಹ ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಮಾಡಿದೆ ಸರಕಾರ
