Cabinet expansion in June first week?
Bengaluru, May 30: Due to tug of war between the two coalition partners- JDS and Congress over sharing the portfolio even after one week of forming the government, the cabinet expansion process has been postponed to June first week.
Both CM HD Kumaraswamy and DCM Dr G Parameshwar have been saying that the cabinet would be expanded shortly. But as the number of aspirants for the ministerial berths is more, both the parties have not yet come to a conclusion.
Meanwhile, in view of the AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s foreign tour, the expansion was also delayed. Even then, it is said that the cabinet would be expanded on June 2. But, the names to be inducted into the cabinet are not yet finalized. Both the parties have prepared their own lists and expansion circus would happen either on June 4 or June 6, it is said.
In Congress, there is a big list of aspirants like HK Patil, Ramalinga Reddy, KJ George, UT Khader, Roshan Baig, RV Deshpande, DK Shivakumar, Shamanur Shivashankarappa, Priyank Kharge, Satish Jarkiholi, E Tukaram and others. However in the JDS, Bandeppa Kashempur, GT Deve Gowda, HK Kumaraswamy, HD Revanna, Venkataram Nada Gouda, H Vishwanath, CS Puttaraju and others could get the chance.
“The JDS-Congress coalition government’s cabinet would be expanded in a couple of days. The government would take Karnataka state as one of the model state in the country in terms of development”, said CH H D Kumaraswamy.
