Bengaluru, October 06: “We had decided to expand the Cabinet soon after Pitru Paksha. But now, by-election dates are declared. Once again, we will discuss and decide on expansion of the Cabinet”, KPCC President Dinesh Gundu Rao said.

Speaking to reporters at the KPCC office here on Saturday, Dinesh Gundu Rao said that “I do not have official information on state incharge K.C. Venugopal’s visit to the state on October 8. But I have discussed with him over phone about the by-election issue”, he said.

The party would first discuss with the Haveri district local Congress leaders on inducting Forest Minister R. Shankar into the party fold. Later, decision would be taken. Shankar was in the Congress earlier, he added.

The Chief Minister and the Deputy Chief Minister would discuss on the reported allegation of Minister Mahesh on Congress. He should not make such statements again and it was not fair to make statement against the Congress, he observed.
