Karnataka cabinet has zero Brahmin minister for first time in state's history

Karnataka's new cabinet has no Brahmin ministers, a first since the state's formation. This decision reflects the Congress party's strategy to consolidate its core AHINDA support base. Senior leaders like Dinesh Gundu Rao and RV Deshpande were reportedly overlooked for various political reasons. Coastal Karnataka also lacks representation in the 33-member cabinet after a last-minute change. The composition appears to prioritize the Congress's core vote bank for upcoming electoral considerations.
