The victory of three disqualified MLAs in the byelections, all of whom have been promised cabinet berth, is set to take the number of ministers from Bengaluru to seven at a time the city’s exploding population is crying for development.
Besides making Malleswaram MLA C N Ashwath Narayan the deputy chief minister, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has taken three Bengaluru MLAs into his cabinet. R Ashoka (Padmanabhanagar), V Somanna (Govindarajanagar) and S Suresh Kumar (Rajajinagar) have been given key posts.
Among the key posts lying with Yediyurappa is Bengaluru development minister and one of the three disqualified MLAs, who got rebirth with a saffron robe, is likely to bag it.
