Karnataka Home Minister and senior Congress leader G Parameshwara criticized the NDA government on Monday for not inducting MPs from backward classes and Dalit communities into the union council of Ministers.

Parameshwara stated that this exclusion highlights neglect of these communities in the government formation. He pointed out that despite several elected representatives from such communities in the state, they were overlooked in favor of other dominant groups.

The NDA, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, inducted five Members of Parliament from Karnataka, including high-ranking leaders like Nirmala Sitharaman and Pralhad Joshi, but none from backward classes or Dalit communities.
