2 months in Telangana, then in Karnataka there was no cabinet expansion for 3 weeks

After becoming the CM of Telangana on December 13, 2018, K. Chandrashekhar Rao had not expanded the cabinet for more than two months. He ran the government for 68 days with Interior Minister Mohammad Mahmood. Later on February 19, 2019, the cabinet expansion took place.

 

At the same time, the then Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa ran the government alone for 3 weeks after forming the government on July 26, 2019. Maharashtra Deputy CM Fadnavis said on the delay in cabinet expansion that the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government worked with a 7-member cabinet for 40 days.
