BENGALURU: The resignation of senior minister KS Eshwarappa seems to have made the job of chief minister Basavaraj Bommai to rejig his cabinet much easier. However, party insiders said the BJP high command is still weighing options despite being supportive of revamping the council of ministers.
Eshwarappa’s resignation, owing to an FIR being lodged against him in connection with a contractor’s death, has increased the number of vacancies in the cabinet to five. The CM has apparently convinced the high command that filing these posts and replacing some old faces with fresh ones would help the party face the assembly elections with renewed vigour.
