After the Congress-JD(S) alliance formed the government in the south Indian state of Karnataka, all eyes were on which MLAs would get cabinet berths and who would be alloted what portfolio. After days of speculations and waiting, the list was finally out released on Friday, June 8.
While the portfolios have now been alloted, it is being said that this could be just for two years and the Congress ministers will be rotated thereafter.
The party plans to assess the performance of its ministers every six months and those not doing their job will have to make way for others, who, for now, have not been allotted a ministry. We'll have to wait and watch if Congress really acts on this plan, but for now, here's the full list of Kumaraswamy's Cabinet ministers and their departments.
