Nominations to Karnataka boards, LC finalised

The long pending nominations to 70-odd boards and corporations in Karnataka as also to the Legislative Council were finalised today by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after discussions with the Congress central leadership.
Siddaramaiah had two rounds of talks with AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh after which he met party Vice President Rahul Gandhi, according to sources.
The move was aimed at accomodating the legislators who were unhappy with the party for not making them ministers in the recent Cabinet reshuffle.
There are three vacancies under the nomination category in the Upper House of the legislature, while the ruling party can nominate heads to 70-odd state-run boards and corporations.

The ruling party can nominate members who have served in the field of literature, art and culture, education and social service to the Council.
