Old faces out, new ones in: Satish Jarkiholi hints at cabinet revamp
Bengaluru: Political discussions in Karnataka have intensified over a possible cabinet reshuffle. Speaking to reporters in Belagavi, Minister Satish Jarkiholi clarified the situation, indicating that changes in the cabinet are likely.
“A cabinet reshuffle is bound to happen. Some old faces will be replaced with new ones. Discussions on this had taken place earlier, and the process might now be in its final stage,” he said.
When asked who might be inducted into the cabinet, Jarkiholi responded, “That is entirely up to the high command. There has been no discussion at our level. Whatever decision the high command makes, we will all follow it.”
Commenting on Minister Krishna Byregowda’s recent resignation-related remarks, Jarkiholi stated, “If the high command decides something, everyone must comply. The criteria for appointing ministers are determined by the high command, the Chief Minister, and the party president.”
On questions regarding a change in the KPCC presidency, Jarkiholi clarified, “There has been no discussion on this matter. As the Chief Minister has already said, such decisions will be taken at the high command level.”
Responding to MLA Yathindra Siddaramaiah’s recent comments about Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s successor, Jarkiholi said, “Yathindra was speaking about AHINDA leadership. It has no connection with the Chief Minister or the cabinet reshuffle. There is no need for any confusion.”
