Bengaluru: With just seven months to go for 2018 Assembly elections, Chief Minister Siddharamaiah strengthened his home district Mysuru by inducting M.C. Mohana Kumari, popular as Dr. Geetha Mahadevaprasad, first-time MLA and wife of his late friend and Minister H.S. Mahadevaprasad, while filling the three vacancies in 51-month-old Ministry.
The new Ministers inducted, CM’s sole choice: H.M. Revanna, R.B. Timmapur and Dr. Geetha Mahadevaprasad. Now, all 34 Ministerial berths, including the Chief Minister, have been filled. The Ministry size is determined by Constitutional norms. This is the sixth and, perhaps, the last expansion of the Council of Ministers before the election.
