As Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s expanded cabinet took oath on Saturday (May 27), Senior Congress leader TB Jayachandra wasn’t included in the list of cabinet ministers.
Meanwhile, the supporters of TB Jayachandra staged a demonstration outside Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s house alleging that a “grave injustice” has been meted out to the Kunchitiga community as no representation was given to them.
A disgruntled Jayachandra said he would meet the party high command and seek justice.
Not just Jayachandra, the discontent among many senior legislators who were denied a ministerial position in the 34-member Cabinet of the Siddaramaiah government erupted in the form of protest outside Raj Bhavan in Bengaluru.
Dejected supporters of the legislators who could not make it to the Cabinet raised slogans outside the Governor’s residence where the ministers took oath.
