Karnataka CM Shivakumar to Discuss Cabinet Portfolios and Possible Reshuffle in Delhi
Karnataka Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is set to visit Delhi to consult Congress leadership on cabinet portfolio allocations and potential reshuffles ahead of the monsoon legislative session. The current 33-member cabinet, expanded on August 3, lacks female representation, prompting plans to induct a woman minister. Discontent among senior legislators denied ministerial berths has led to outreach efforts and discussions about balancing caste, regional representation, and seniority. Portfolio allocations and possible ministerial changes are expected to be finalized soon.
