CM will look after Bangalore
It was a long wait for those selected to govern Karnataka, caused by a tortuous exercise that involved demands and counter-demands, attempts to push a favourite's case or to pull somebody down.
Following the practice of his predecessors, chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has retained Bangalore administration along with urban development.
The sensitive portfolio of home has been given to V S Acharya. The all-important public works portfolio has gone to C M Udasi. Bellary's mining czar G Karunakara Reddy has got revenue; his brother G Janardhan Reddy tourism. Their friend B Sriramulu ��� the third minister from Bellary district ��� has landed health and family welfare.
Katta Subramanya Naidu, who was inducted earlier in the day, has been given the responsibility of excise, BWSSB, IT/BT, information and excise. The lone Muslim minister, Mumtaz Ali Khan, has been put in charge of the minority welfare department. In a first, a woman has been given a key portfolio: Shobha Karandlaje has been made minister for rural development and panchayat raj. The industries portfolio has gone to an MBA, Murugesh Nirani. Higher education is with a first-time MLA, Aravind Limbavalli.
The five independents who have propped up the BJP government have been given minor portfolios. P M Narendraswamy has got charge of women and child development.The crucial food and civil supplies portfolio will be looked after by H Halappa.
Soon after inducting Naidu into the cabinet, Yeddyurappa plunged into discussion on portfolios with other top party leaders at a hotel. Besides the demand of the Reddy bothers for lucrative portfolios, Yeddyurappa had to contend with pressure from senior leaders to give insignificant portfolios to ��� or marginalize ��� certain ministers. The CM also came under tremendous pressure from the headquarters in Delhi to give plum portfolios to candidates 'blessed' by central leaders.
