Congress criticizes BJP as Modi's Karnataka picks are all from dominant castes.
The Union Cabinet demonstrates the falsity of your (BJP's) claims of caring for Dalits. This Cabinet had not a single Dalit or backward community politician from the state nominated to it: Head of State Siddaramaiah
The BJP's selection of four Karnataka Members of Parliament for the Union Council of Ministers under the Narendra Modi government is indicative of the backing it garnered from the state's main castes during the Lok Sabha elections. However, the Congress has criticized this, saying that it is "ignoring backward communities."
Twelve members of dominating castes (five Lingayats, four Vokkaligas, and three Brahmins) and five members of backward communities (two Scheduled Caste (Left) members and three Other Backward Classes (OBCs)) comprise the 17 BJP wins in Karnataka. JD(S), its ally, secured two seats, one for the Cabinet and one for the Vokkaliga and SC.
