KTK CM appoints Cong MLA as head of pollution control board

In a move seen as an attempt to pacify disgruntled Congress legislators, the coalition government in Karnataka Thursday appointed MLA Sudhakar K as the chairman of the state pollution control board.

Sudhakar has tweeted confirming his appointment.

In his tweet, he thanked AICC chief Rahul Gandhi, Siddaramaiah, chief minister Kumaraswamy, AICC general secretary K C Venugopal, deputy chief minister G Parameshwara, KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao and party colleagues "who have vested their belief in me to chair the KSPCB."
