Slip of tongue: Karnataka minister mistakenly takes oath as Chief Minister, gets hugged by CM BSY
Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP MLA Madhu Swamy on Tuesday found himself under a rather embarrassing situation while taking oath as the minister in Yediyurappa cabinet. A slip of tongue during oath taking and he mistakenly took oath as the ‘Mukhya Mantri’ meaning the Chief Minister while all he had to say was only ‘Mantri’ meaning minister.
Happy seeing his cabinet taking shape more than 20 days after he took oath as the CM of the state on July 26, Yediyurappa only smiled at Madhu Swamy and hugged him to congratulate on being minister.
17 MLAs took oath as the cabinet ministers on Tuesday morning at the Raj Bhavan. The oath was administered by Governor Vajubhai Vala.
Nippani MLA Jolle Shashikala Annasaheb was the only woman to be inducted in this round of the cabinet. Other senior politicians inducted in the cabinet were former ministers R Ashok, Suresh Kumar and Basavaraj Bommai.

"Their leader is refusing to change. Now the members are also behaving like him. Their leader is indulging in drama in Parliament premises by holding plate and glass. They think that by doing such theatrics they will be able to draw the attention of the people, but people know them very well that is why they have not been able to come to power," Rijiju said.
Expressing disappointment over the Congress behaviour, the minister said no one in the Congress party is making their leader see logic.
"Still there is time to change otherwise people of the country will punish you severely," he said.
As the opposition refused to relent, the Chair adjourned the proceedings till 2 pm.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to respond to a debate on the second batch of supplementary demands for grants this afternoon.
