Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expanded the Cabinet on Saturday (May 27) in which senior Congress leader TB Jayachandra was not included in the list of cabinet ministers.

The supporters of Jayachandra staged a protest outside CM Siddaramaiah's house alleging that a "grave injustice" has been meted out to the Kunchitiga community as no representation was given to them. A disgruntled Jayachandra said he would meet the party high command and seek justice.

Apart from Jayachandra, several senior legislators were denied a ministerial position in the 34-member Cabinet of the Siddaramaiah government. This led to a protest outside Raj Bhavan in Bengaluru.
