Union Cabinet portfolios: Kumaraswamy gets heavy industries; Civil aviation for Ram Mohan Naidu

On the other hand, JD(S) leader and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, who had been angling for the Agriculture Ministry, was snubbed for it.

That portfolio went to Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the former MP chief minister who made way for young leader Mohan Yadav to take the post last year.

Kumaraswamy, meanwhile, was given the Steel and Heavy Industry Ministry.

Another ally, TDP’s Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu — the youngest in the Cabinet — was given the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The list came a day after the Cabinet ministers and MoSes were administered the oath of office by the President.
