In Karnataka, a woman among 24 ministers was inducted into the Siddaramaiah government. On Saturday, 24 Congress leaders took the oath as ministers in Karnataka. This meant that the state now had an entire government.
The oath of office and secret were given to these 24 ministers by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot. There are 23 MLAs among these ministers, and NS Boseraju, neither an MLA nor an MLC, was a surprise choice by the Congress’s high command.
Friday, the Congress announced the names of 24 more ministers. This brings the total number of ministers in the cabinet to 34, which is the highest number allowed by law.
Karnataka’s Increased Ministry Has 9 SCs, 8 Lingayats, and 5 Vokkaligas:
A week after taking power in Karnataka, the Congress government added 24 new ministers to its cabinet on Saturday. This means that all 34 ministerial posts are now filled. A list regarding the same was also shared on Twitter:

Six new names come from the Lingayat community, four from the Vokkaliga community, three from scheduled castes, two from scheduled tribes, and five from other backward classes. On this list is one person from each Muslim, Jain, Brahmin, and Namdhari Reddy group. There is only one woman in the cabinet.
Laxmi R. Hebbalkar is the only woman minister in the Siddaramaiah government. She won around 1,06,805 votes in the recent Karnataka assembly election to keep her seat from Belgaum Rural. She beat Nagesh Annappa Manolkar of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The news came after Siddaramaiah, Shivakumar, and the Congress leadership in Delhi worked hard for four days to find a middle ground between the goals of leaders from different castes, regions, and parties.
This was made even more complicated by the Congress’s big win, which was the best in the state since 1989. They won 135 of the 224 seats in the assembly. Randeep Singh wrote a Congratulating note on Twitter; click below to have a look at the note:

Congress sources say that Shivakumar is close to people like Laxmi Hebbalkar, Madhu Bangaraa, D Sudhakar, Cheluvaraya Swami, Mankul Vaidya, and M C Sudhakar.
