The 10 new ministers were inducted into the B S Yediyurappa cabinet today namely Ramesh Jarkiholi (Gokak), Shrimant Patil (Kagwad), Byrathi Basavaraj (KR Puram), BC Patil (Hirekerur), ST Somashekhar (Yeshwantpur), Anand B Singh (Vijayanagar), Shivram Hebbar (Yellapur), K Sudhakar (Chikkaballapur), Narayana Gowda (Krishnarajapet) and K Gopalaiah (Mahalakshmi Layout).
Governor Vajubhai Bala administered oaths to the new ministers at Raj Bhavan.
Meanwhile, rebellion is brewing within the BJP as party loyalists, who were also aspiring for ministerial berths, do not want the turncoats to get plum posts.
Sources said that the new ministers may have to wait for a few days as the party high command is yet to decide on portfolio allocation.
