K’taka cabinet restructuring after Nadda’s meet: Bommai

Bengaluru, April 18 (FN Agency) Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday said cabinet restructuring in Karnataka will take place after BJP National President JP Nadda conducts a meeting in Delhi in this regard. “Nadda has said he would convene a meeting in Delhi to discuss cabinet restructuring. He will inform me about it and he asked me to come to Delhi after that,” he told reporters here. As many as five posts in Bommai’s cabinet are vacant after KS Eshwarappa’s resignation. On Hubballi violence, Bommai said all those who were allegedly involved in the incident have been arrested.

The investigation is on and leaders behind it would face legal action,” he added. Responding to questions on irregularities in the PSI selection exam, Bommai said Home Minister Araga Jnanendra has ordered a CID probe into the issue immediately on getting to know about the irregularities. A comprehensive investigation has been ordered to find out whether the irregularities had happened at any particular centres or at a larger scale, he said. “If it were to be a government of some other political party they would have tried to cover it up. We have given a free hand to CID. We will take action against those involved, whoever it is,” Bommai said. Asked about demand from the candidates for a re-exam, he said, “It would be decided after getting the comprehensive probe report.”
