Bengaluru, Jul 7: Four new faces from Karnataka are to be inducted into the union cabinet as Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government opts for reshuffling. This also includes Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP Shobha Karandlaje who was asked to be present in Delhi on Wednesday.

Karandlaje who belongs to the Vokkaliga community is a well-known face of BJP in coastal Karnataka and is likely to get a prominent post in the union cabinet.

Karandlaje was born on October 23, 1966, to the late Monappa Gowda and Poovakka in a small village called Charvaka in Dakshina Kannada. She holds a Master’s degree in Social Work from Mangalore University, and MA in Sociology from Mysuru University.

She won the Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency by a margin of 3.49 lac votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the highest margin ever acquired by a female candidate in Karnataka.

Apart from MP Shobha, the other three names from Karnataka are Bhagwanth Gurubasappa Khuba from Bidar, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Rajya Sabha MP, Chitradurga MP Narayan Swamy.

Shobha did well when she was power minister of Karnataka and she is the reason behind Karnataka being power plus state today. As a minister of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, Karnataka was ranked first by the UPA govt in that sector during her time. Now all the haters go & do the fact check.

I think it is a good opportunity for her to mature as a minister and start taking the high road from now on. Cabinet post for coastal region was due. Glad Shobha the alumnus of Roshni Nilaya was chosen over Naveen.

I am not a follower of Shobha ...but when Malabaris do take the swearing-in oath in their Malabari language then quite natural it is apt that Shobha will also follow the Kannada dialect. It's a rich culture. Meanwhile let us hope that she fulfils her duties with zeal and commitment.

Shobha & Nalin are opposite faces of same coin. God save the cabinet or that Dept that has ministers like this. The max dept the former can manage if there is one is Bramhakalsha or Ribbon cutting Ministry and the later is Beedi Yojgaar Nigham . And if there are any IAS officers that have to be reporting to them, pity their plight. They would bang their head for passing UPSC.
