Karnataka Ministers Mobilize to Address Drought and Welfare Schemes

Following the recent expansion of the Karnataka Cabinet, minister Basavaraj Rayareddi has pledged a unified effort among district officials and party leaders to accelerate welfare delivery. The move comes as the state grapples with monsoon-related rainfall deficits, necessitating direct field assessments of agricultural damage in drought-prone regions.

Rayareddi, speaking from the Koppal Inspection Bungalow, confirmed that ministers will formally assume their duties in Bengaluru by Monday. The administration aims to achieve full operational capacity immediately thereafter. Alongside his local coordination duties in Koppal, the minister has been tasked by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to oversee the drought response in Gadag district.

Beginning August 7, Rayareddi will conduct a three-day tour of Gadag to evaluate crop losses. This effort mirrors a wider state mandate requiring ministers to conduct ground-level inspections to inform relief strategies. The minister expressed appreciation for his induction, attributing the appointment to the support of AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and state party leadership, while emphasizing a collective commitment to meeting public expectations.
