North Karnataka Leaders, One From Coast Become Karnataka Ministers

The Congress party in Karnataka decided to add 20 new ministers to its government.

Eight of them come from the northern part of the state, and one from the coast.

A former minister named B Nagendra is coming back after a legal case was dropped.

Some new ministers had already served before, like Mankala Vaidya and Santosh Lad.

The party wants to make sure people from different areas and communities feel represented.

They also chose a new Speaker for the state assembly, GS Patil.

This move is meant to help Congress win more support in upcoming elections.

It shows how politics often tries to balance many groups.

The new cabinet will work on state laws and development projects.
