NA Haris gets BMTC, BDA goes to ST Somashekar
Bengaluru, January 9: Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy on Wednesday appointed MLA NA Haris as the MBTC chairman and MLA ST Somashekar as the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA) chairman and SN Subba Reddy as the chairman of the State Silk Board.
Following the direction from AICC president Rahul Gandhi, KPCC president Dinesh Gundurao has sent a list of 19 candidates for appointing for the boards and corporations and nine candidates for Parliamentary Secretaries posts. In the beginning, the CM has appointed 14 candidates to boards and corporations and eight candidates as Parliamentary Secretaries. Now, the three candidates were appointed on Wednesday officially.
But the Chief Minister withheld the names of T Venkataramanaiah as State Road Development Corporation Chairman and Dr K Sudharkar as State Pollution Control Board chairman. So, both the MLAs have expressed their ire against the Chief Minister and the party leaders.

Chief Minister Kumaraswamy also appointed MLA Abbaiah Prasad as the Dr Babu Jagjeevan Ram Leather Industries Development Corporation chairman with Cabinet rank.
