Shivamogga Supporters of Congress MLA for Sagar, Belur Gopala Krishna, urged the party’s high command on Monday to induct him into the State Cabinet. Senior Congress leader B.R. Jayanth, addressing presspersons in Shivamogga, argued that the party had previously given Sorab MLA Madhu Bangarappa an opportunity to serve as a minister for three years.
During his tenure as Minister for Education, Bangarappa launched several initiatives, notably the decision to expand Karnataka Public Schools across the state. “Belur Gopala Krishna, who has been elected to the Assembly three times, deserves a similar opportunity,” Mr. Jayanth said. “He enjoys strong support across all communities and has the backing to lead effectively as a minister,” he added.
Answering a question, Mr. Jayanth said that workers of the Congress party spread over Sagar and Hosanagar taluks want Mr. Gopala Krishna inducted into the Cabinet. However, they were not opposed to inducting Mr. Bangarappa into the Cabinet. “We are happy if both are inducted into the Cabinet.
However, if the party decides to accommodate only one of them, our choice is Belur Gopala Krishna”, he added. Several party leaders from Sagar and Hosanagar taluks were present at the press conference.
