Bengaluru, Feb 9 : Amid protests by the Congress and JD(S) legislators, the ruling BJP in the Karnataka legislative council on Monday passed the contentious anti-cow slaughter Bill, just a day before the council chairman elections where senior MLC Basavaraj Horatti is contesting as the BJP-JD(S) coalition candidate.
The anti-Cow slaughter Bill is officially termed as the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation and Protection of Cattle Bill 2020, and the passage of the Bill will help the ruling party replace the ordinance that was passed on January 8.

Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa
A week after expanding his cabinet, Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa allocated portfolios to seven new ministers and also reshuffled the departments of some others. Ending a long wait, Yediyurappa expanded his 17-month old cabinet on January 13, by inducting seven ministers and also dropped H Nagesh who was holding the Excise portfolio, but the exercise led to resentment with several aspirants expressing reservations over not being included in the ministry.
Against the sanctioned strength of 34, the Yediyurappa cabinet now has 33 members. The Forest Department has been taken back from Anand Singh, who has now been given the Tourism portfolio in addition to Environment and Ecology. The newly inducted Aravind Limbavali has been allotted the Forest Department.
