With 7 ministers, can city expect more than flyovers?
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.
