Indicates that he has held a department such as water resources, energy and revenues in the past, Mr. Esharappa, who is the Minister of Rural Development in the Yediyurappa government previously said, he never asked for a particular portfolio and effectively appeared in what he had given.
Minister of Prabhu Chauhan, he wanted to regain the Department of Livestock, the portfolio he was responsible in the previous cabinet and worked to protect “Gaumata” (cattle).
“Working in the half department finished, I as a minister introducing anti-cow cutter law, we prepare Gaushalas, Helpline animals, so the livestock department is my priority, but if I will do, what I will do,” he said.
Minister of SM Patil, who holds the agricultural portfolio in the previous cabinet also said, he wants to maintain the same portfolio because more work needs to be done in the department, but if CM allocates the other, he will perform happy.
