It is interesting to read and listen to the reactions of people whenever a Cabinet expansion takes place. "Oh, he has managed to get in only because of his caste, gender, region, language, etc.", are touted normally, and most of the times all this is true. The latest is the case of Ambareesh, the film star-turned-politician. There is no doubt that if there were a better choice available among the Vokkaligas, he would not have found a place ever in the Union Ministry.
And it is also a fact that he has been chosen, only because of the caste to which he was born in. As a Parliamentarian, in his third term, he has nothing otherwise to show, to merit a place in the Union Ministry.
