Congress Finalizes Karnataka Cabinet Expansion with Swearing-In Expected Monday
The Congress high command is finalizing the expansion of Karnataka's Cabinet, with around 16-18 names cleared for inclusion. Key leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, D.K. Shivakumar, Siddaramaiah, and B.K. Hariprasad have participated in discussions. The swearing-in ceremony is expected on Monday evening. The expansion aims to balance caste, regional, and religious representation, filling 20 vacancies in the 34-member council of ministers since Shivakumar became chief minister in June.
