Karnataka politics under CM Shivakumar

Overview

On August 3, 2026, Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar expanded the Karnataka cabinet to its sanctioned 34-member limit. The expansion, approved by the Congress high command, included 12 new faces and 8 incumbents. However, the move sparked significant controversy as the final roster lacked female representation, despite MLC Gayathri Shanthegowda being initially listed. The Janata Dal Secular (JDS) and BJP criticized the all-male composition, with the BJP accusing the government of prioritizing internal power struggles over public welfare and highlighting the re-induction of Minister B. Nagendra amid corruption allegations.

Internal friction intensified as several senior legislators, including Yashavantarayagouda V. Patil and Belur Gopalakrishna, resigned from the assembly following their omission. The reshuffle also triggered protests by party workers and threats of mass resignations due to perceived imbalances in regional, caste, and religious representation. Intense lobbying has emerged among ministers for influential portfolios such as Finance, Labour, and Social Welfare.

To manage the unrest, Shivakumar traveled to New Delhi to consult the party high command and met with former CM Siddaramaiah. While Minister M.B. Patil described the tensions as “minor family differences,” the administration continues to face pressure regarding gender parity. Amidst these political shifts, the government maintains its focus on the Urban Mobility Mission Committee for Bengaluru and its commitment to a socio-economic survey and caste census.
