Karnataka politics: Kumaraswamy in Trouble

Bangalore, June 10: Day by day The Karnataka Chief Minister Kumaraswamy irks in a controversy, After the Congress, disgruntlement is brewing in coalition partner the JD(S) too as two senior ministers from the party are said to be miffed over the portfolios allotted to them following the recent cabinet expansion.

According to the sources, GT Deve Gowda, who has been allotted higher education + , and CS Puttaraju, who got minor irrigation in the portfolio allocation last night, are unhappy about their ministries.

The two senior leaders from the old Mysuru region, who were hoping for lucrative portfolios, were in for a disappointment on Friday night. While Gowda has been allotted the higher education portfolio, Puttaraju has been vested with minor irrigation.

GT Deve Gowda, who emerged as a giant killer, defeating former chief minister Siddaramaiah in Chamundeshwari constituency in Mysuru in the May 12 assembly polls, and Puttaraju, who vacated his Lok Sabha seat and won the Melukote assembly segment, were eyeing key portfolios, including transport.

The Congress, which is not like this, seems to be planning to bring the rotation system to the fore. For the two years, 22 new candidates have been nominated to make 66 ministers in the next five years.
