Karnataka government gave cabinet rank facilities to Yeddyurappa, who resigned from the post on July 26.

The Bommai government of Karnataka has approved cabinet ministerial facilities for former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa. An order has been issued in this regard.

These facilities will continue till Bommai is the Chief Minister. Yeddyurappa had resigned from his post on 26 July amid all kinds of speculations.

His resignation was due to the BJP’s policy regarding the age limit of 75 years. Under this policy, Yeddyurappa can no longer hold any post other than that of an MLA.

According to official sources, apart from the salary, the cabinet rank minister gets certain allowances and facilities for conveyance, official accommodation, etc.
