Karnataka CM mulls ministry expansion
Bangalore, Dec 16 (PTI)
Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, who is facing discontent from a section of his party MLAs, is contemplating inducting one of them into his ministry.
Sources close to Yeddyurappa said he summoned a group of MLAs, who have been demanding ministry restructuring, and appointment of some of them as heads of state-owned boards and corporations and promised to consider their demands.
A section of MLAs led by Honnali legislator M P Renukacharya recently held a meeting and expressed their dissatisfaction over delay in ministry restructuring.
The group also told Yeddyurappa that they would resign their assembly membership if their demand was not met, sources said. Yeddyurappa since Tuesday has been involved in formal talks with some of his ministerial colleagues to ensure that the discontent does not turn into a crisis.
The chief minister had recently managed to weather a political storm following a revolt by a section of legislators led by Tourism Minister Janardhana Redddy. The crisis, however, was defused by the party central leadership with Yeddyurappa agreeing to a compromise formula with the dissidents.
The sources, however, could not indicate whether the ministry expansion would take place before the legislature session resumes sitting on December 21 or at a later date.
Its very obvious now, mojority of the politicians are just greedy for money and power. If we allow this to continue, I can gaurantee the gap between rich and poor will get worse. We need to concentrate on helping poor to have better eduction and get into middle class section of society. We have to control our population and inmprove infrastructure. Dont we all wish to have better eduction, healthcare,infrastructure and be proud of where we live.
Jai Hind
I feel we as indians are divided among ourselves in terms of region,language ,religion and caste.And blaming politicians alone will not solve the problem, politicians remain the same every where in the world,we as citizens should unite and elect good people and watch them .
