Yediyurappa ministry to be expanded on Tuesday

Bengaluru: The B.S. Yediyurappa-led BJP government in Karnataka will be expanded on Tuesday, an official said on Sunday.

At least half a dozen ministers are likely to be inducted in the first expansion of the ministry since Yediyurappa was sworn-in as Chief Minister of the state – for the fourth time – on July 26, the official told IANS.

The BJP came back to power after the collapse of the H.D. Kumaraswamy-led Janata Dal-Secular-Congress coalition government last month.
