Karnataka CM Proposes Adding Woman to All-Male Cabinet, Seeks Congress Approval

The Karnataka Chief Minister has announced his intention to induct a woman into the state’s cabinet, which has so far been composed entirely of men. The proposal marks a potential shift toward greater gender representation in the government’s executive branch. The CM is currently awaiting the nod of the Congress party, which holds a significant number of seats in the state assembly and whose support is deemed essential for the move to be formalised. If approved, the new appointment would make Karnataka one of the few Indian states to have a woman in its cabinet, signalling a step toward inclusivity in political leadership. Analysts note that the decision could influence future cabinet compositions and set a precedent for other states to follow.\n\n
