Bengaluru, Sept 1: It’s official. Senior Congress leader R Ramalinga Reddy, who was the Minister for Transport so far, is the new Home Minister of Karnataka.
Reddy, the six-time MLA was on Friday handed over the Home portfolio that was with the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after G Parameshwara resigned from the powerful post earlier this year. Reddy’s Transport portfolio was handed over to new minister H M Revanna.
With this the media speculations on Dakshina Kannada strongman B Ramanath Rai becoming home minister proved wrong.
It could be recalled here that Siddaramaiah had slammed the media for announcing Rai as the next home minister of Karnataka.
