Karnataka Brahmin Groups Demand Cabinet Representation, Continue Protests
The Kalaburagi Zilla Brahmin Sangha protested, demanding fair representation for the Brahmin community in Karnataka's State Cabinet, government corporations, and boards. They submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, urging inclusion of senior Congress leaders Dinesh Gundu Rao and R.V. Deshpande. The community expressed dissatisfaction over the absence of Brahmin ministers in the 33-member Cabinet and warned that protests would continue until their demands are addressed. The Cabinet expansion included diverse communities but left one seat vacant.
