After the bypoll results the minister is yet to make public appearance. He has even remained inaccessible to the media. However, Social Welfare Minister D Sudhakar, against whom the CBI has filed the charge sheet in an alleged bank fraud case, attended the meeting.
When contacted, Somanna’s close aides said that he was unwell and hence could not attend the Cabinet meeting.
