Bengaluru, Aug 27: Barely hours after the distribution of cabinet berths in Karnataka, signs of rebellion within the BJP have emerged, with Vokkaliga leader and Chikmagalur MLA CT Ravi posting a series of tweets late on Monday indicative of dissent in the party ranks.

The B S Yediyurappa-led government has appointed three deputy chief ministers among the 17 ministers inducted. Leaders like KS Eshwarappa and R Ashok, who served as deputy chief ministers in earlier BJP-led governments, were not accommodated this time.

Eshwarappa has been given Rural Development and Panchayati Raj portfolio, whereas R Ashok would serve as Revenue minister.

Supporters and followers of Eshwarappa issued a warning and said side-lining the minister was an “insult”. They threatened to “hit back” at the party if Eshwarappa isn't given the deputy chief minister's post in the coming days.

The appointment of Ashwath Narayan as deputy CM over CT Ravi might not go down well with some sections of the party either. However, in late-night tweets, Ravi said he was as much loyal to his “principle” as to the BJP.

Meanwhile, supporters of Molkalmuru MLA B Sriramalu have launched a social media campaign deputy CM post for him. Sriramalu has been given the Health and Family Welfare portfolio.

Govind Karjole, one of the three deputy CMs, also hold charge of the coveted PWD ministry along with the Social Welfare Department.
