Click to play videoBangalore: Just a month ago he was gunning for Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa's head but today, he is swearing by Yeddyurappa's name. M P Renukacharya - the most controversial BJP MLA from Karnataka - has finally managed to join the state cabinet.
Yeddyurappa inducted him into the cabinet to quell rebellion and break the rebel faction.
Meanwhile, the Opposition parties in Karnataka are having a field day. The MLA was involved in a scandal in 2007 - having been accused of sexually assaulting a nurse. The nurse had at that time released photos showing Renukacharya hugging and kissing her and claimed that the pictures were taken at gunpoint.
The Opposition claims Yeddyurappa inducted him in the cabinet despite all this under pressure from the Reddy brothers.
Opposition Leader in the Karnataka Assembly, Siddaramaiah stated, "He (Yeddyurappa) is the weakest Chief Minister of Karnataka. All the demands of the Reddy brothers are being fulfilled by him. Yeddyurappa, in order to keep his chair, is considering all the demands of the Reddy brothers."
The Reddy brothers had demanded that this MLA be made a minister during the height of crisis in the state last month.
With the Reddy brothers getting what they want, the question now is how long can the Chief Minister really hold on to his chair?
