Karnataka Cabinet Lacks Female Ministers as B. Nagendra's Return Draws Scrutiny

Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's newly expanded cabinet faces criticism for having no female ministers, despite several women leaders being considered as potential contenders for ministerial positions.

The cabinet reshuffle has also drawn scrutiny over the inclusion of B. Nagendra, who faces allegations linked to a corruption case. His appointment has raised questions about political optics, accountability, and the Congress government's approach to cabinet selections.

With key portfolios now allocated, the cabinet faces ongoing questions regarding women's representation, governance standards, and political credibility.
