With the Congress bagging eight out of the eleven seats in Mysuru district, speculation is underway over who will make it to the Ministry in the new government.
While none of the three BJP MLAs from the district – S.A. Ramdas, L. Nagendra and Harshavardhan — could make it to the Ministry in the outgoing BJP Government, Ministers from outside the district like Housing V. Somanna initially and Minister for Cooperation S.T. Somashekar later, were entrusted with the responsibility of Ministers in charge of the district.
While former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who was elected from Varuna in Mysuru, is already in the race for the coveted post of Chief Minister again, other Congress MLAs from the district are also expected to be in the race for a berth in the Ministry.
