KJ George back in Cabinet gets Bengaluru Urban Development
Â
Following the 'B' report on Minister KJ George by the CID, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had got the green signal from Congress high command to reinstate George into the Ministry.
Â
Accordingly, he will join the Cabinet on Monday.
Â
MK Ganapathy, an hour before allegedly committing suicide on July 7, had given an interview to a local Kannada channel and accused ex-minister George and IGP Pranab Mohanty of harassing him.
Â
Eventually, following Opposition parties demands, George had resigned from his post on July 18. This action was instigated by a Madikeri Court’s order to file FIRs against both the accused.
Â
Accordingly, the CID was investigating the case and registered FIRs against the Minister and IGP on July 19.
Â
After questioning the minister, the CID gave a clean chit to him on September 17. Following the CID ruling, the Congress High Command has given the government the permission to include him in the Cabinet.
