Karnataka Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah has been planning to reshuffle his cabinet and he lands in a big trouble. He is in dilemma over choosing between Kannada star heroine Ramya and veteran Kannada hero Ambarish.
The senior hero, Ambarish has had a long stint in politics for over two decades. Siddaramayya appointed Ambarish, a former Union Minister, as Housing Minister in his cabinet. On the other hand, Ramya is a star actress turned politician, who earlier won as MP from Mandya.
Reportedly, Congress high command has suggested Siddaramaiah to induct Ramya as minister by removing Ambarish from his Cabinet. Former Union minister SM Krishna is heard to be rallying behind Ramya’s inclusion in the Cabinet.
Speculation is that Congress is planning to field Ramya for elections to the Legislative Council so that she can be appointed as minister.
Siddaramaiah is now in big dilemma as both the actors have huge fan base across the state. In fact, Ambarish was unhappy from the beginning when Siddaramaiah allocated him Housing Ministry instead of a powerful one. Now if he gets sacked from cabinet, he may turn rebellious.
