Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has reallocated the muzrai (Endowment) portfolio to Law Minister T B Jayachandra.
A Raj Bhavan communique stated that the Governor has accepted the chief minister’s recommendation.
Earlier, the portfolio of Muzrai was with Revenue Minister V Srinivasa Prasad.
Muzrai is considered a jinxed department. It is believed, at least in political circles, that those who are entrusted with the muzrai portfolio will not remain in power for long.
