Bengaluru: Nearly one month after BS Yediyurappa took oath as the CM of Karnataka on July 26, the BJP state president released a list of 17 MLAs for the formation of cabinet on Tuesday.

The 17 MLAs were administered the oath of office and secrecy by Governor Vajubhai Vala at Raj Bhavan on Tuesday morning.

Govind Karajol, Ashwath Narayan C N, Laxman Sangappa Savadi, K S Eshwarappa, R Ashok, Jagadish Shettar, B Sreeramulu, S Suresh Kumar, V Somanna, C T Ravi, Basavaraj Bommai, Kota Shrinivas Poojari, J C Madhu Swamy, Chandrakantagouda Channappagouda Patil, H Nagesh, Prabhu Chauhan and Jolle Shashikala Annasaheb took oath as the cabinet ministers of the BJP government in the state.

The move of forming the cabinet will ease the pressure off Yediyurappa as he was constantly under attack by the opposition leaders for running a ‘one man show’ in the state without cabinet for more than 20 days after taking oath as the CM.
