Shobha bounces back with a bang
The Hindu
She has in the past held Energy porfolio
The Bharatiya Janata Party State unit’s firebrand woman face, Shobha Karandlaje, has come back with a bang to hold a ministerial office at the Centre after staying out of power for eight and a half years. The 54-year-old Ms. Karandlaje had been out of power ever since she stepped down as Karnataka’s Energy Minister in 2013 to join the Karnataka Janata Party floated by B.S. Yediyurappa. Ms. Karandlaje’s political growth began after she was made an MLC in 2004. She was made RDPR Minister when the BJP formed its first government in Karnataka in 2008. But she had to abruptly step down in 2009 due to political crisis gripping the party following rebellion by the Ballari Reddy brothers who controlled the mining lobby. However, she was reinstated in 2010 and given the Energy portfolio.
