Congress Weighs Cabinet Expansion Amid Calls for Women’s Inclusion in Karnataka
The Congress party in Karnataka is deliberating on cabinet expansion amid demands from ministerial aspirants, including M. Krishnappa and his son Priya Krishna, who insist on their inclusion. The party faces criticism for excluding women from the 33-member cabinet, despite having four women MLAs. Leadership discussions aim to balance gender, regional, caste, and community representation, with a vacancy reserved for a woman minister. Some leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, advocate for greater female representation, while internal disagreements have delayed final decisions.
