Bengaluru: Following the example of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, where there are five Deputy Chief Ministers (Dy.CMs), in the Jaganmohan Reddy Cabinet, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa too is said to be mulling on having two more Dy.CMs in order to maintain caste equations.
Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, a Kuruba leader and Health Minister B. Sriramulu, a Valmiki Community Scheduled Tribe (ST) leader, are said to be upset over being deprived of the Dy.CM post, as both were keen on getting this important position.
