Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a two-day visit to Karnataka, addressed the 107th session of Indian Science Congress in Bengaluru today. On Thursday, he met Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa and Governor Vajubhai Vala at Raj Bhavan.

When BJP politician Madhu Swamy joined the Karnataka cabinet today, he fell prey to a rather embarrassing slip of the tongue. He initially took oath as the mukhya mantri, or chief minister, instead of mantri, which just means minister.

Soon after Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala invited him to form the government, Chief Minister-designate B.S. Yediyurappa on Friday directed Chief Secretary T.M. Vijay Bhaskar to withhold all new projects and transfers made by the earlier JD-S-Congress coalition government in this month.

Mr Yediyurappa met with Governor Vajubhai Vala this morning to stake claim and urged him to schedule an oath ceremony today. Mr Yediyurappa has to prove his majori...
