The Congress's Karnataka government, led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, expanded the cabinet by inducting 24 new MLAs on Saturday. However, the list omitted names of some ministry hopefuls, prompting the disgruntled legislators and their supporters to protest outside the governor's residence to seek cabinet berths. Protests reportedly broke out in at least eight districts of Karnataka, including Bengaluru, Tumakuru, Mysuru, Haveri, Hassan, and Kodagu.
