Bangalore, May 30, 2008: Scripting a new chapter in Karnataka's political history, a 30-member BJP ministry led by Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa was today sworn-in here ushering in saffron party's first ever government in south India.
Yeddyurappa, who led the party to victory in the recent assembly polls, took oath in the name of farmers and God on his second innings as Chief Minister, a post from which he was unceremoniously toppled six months ago, a week after assuming office when its erstwhile ally, JDS, withdrew support.
However, Yeddyurappa, 66, had to do a balancing act to form his ministry today as he inducted five independents to be part of his 30-member cabinet to cross the magic figure of 113 in the 224-member Assembly. Though BJP emerged victorious at the hustings, winning 110 seats, it fell short of a simple majority, necessitating to seek support of the independents.
Revunaik Belamgi
The 29 who were sworn-in as cabinet rank ministers are: Revu Naik Belamgi, Govind M Karjol, K S Eswarappa, V S Acharya, Mamtaz Alikhan, C M Udasi, R Ramachandra Gowda, R Ashok, S A Ravindranath, G Janardhana Reddy, Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri, B N Bacchegowda, G Karunakara Reddy, Basavaraj Bommai, Shobha Karandlaje, B Sreeramulu, S Suresh Kumar, Krishna Palemar, Venkataramanappa, Aravind Limbavali, Krishnaiah Shetty, P M Narendra Swamy, H Halappa, D Sudhakar, Goolihatti D Shekar, M Rudrappa Nirani, Lakshman Savadi, S K Bellubbi and Shivaraj Tangadagi.
Governor Rameshwar Thakur administered the oath of office and secrecy to Yeddyurappa and 29 ministers on the portals of the Vidhan Soudha, the state secretariat.
The function was attended by a galaxy of leaders, including BJP president Rajnath Singh, L K Advani, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, VHP leader Ashok Singhal, Gopinath Munde, Maneka Gandhi and thousands of saffron party activists.
JD (U) leader George Fernandes, with whose party BJP refused to ink seat-sharing pact in the polls, also attended.

TRS candidate for Warangal Parliamentary constituency Ravindra Naik, party bypolls coordinator Kapialvail Dilip Kumar and party city unit president Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar addressed mediapersons here on Monday.

He is practising the same during campaigning in Telangana as well, they said adding that Reddy distributing money in a fear that party candidates might get defeated. But the people in the region will prove that they cannot be bought through currency, they added.
