Disappointed: Protests erupt as BSY inducts 17 ministers into Cabinet

Bengaluru: More than three weeks after he was sworn in as the Chief Minister, B S Yediyurappa on Tuesday expanded his ministry by inducting 17 ministers into his Cabinet. While the party high command seems to have deliberately left 16 slots empty to contain any possible dissidence and retain the elbow room to reward some of the 17 ‘rebel’ MLAs of the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) – whose membership has been terminated by the Speaker – there was a frissom of unhappiness immediately after the swearing-in.

Several senior party leaders such as Umesh Katti, Murugesh Nirani, Balachandra Jharkiholi, Renukacharya and Basvraj Patil Yatnal did not even come to the swearing-in of their own party’s new cabinet.

Supporters of one of the ministerial aspirants GH Thippa Reddy, a four-time BJP MLA from Chitradurga demand justice from the party high command even as traffic was partially disrupted at the Gandhi Circle in the city by the supporters burning tyres.
