Karnataka Cabinet Expansion Delayed Amid Congress Discussions and BJP Criticism
The expansion of Karnataka's Cabinet remains pending as the Congress high command delays final approval of the ministerial list, reportedly due to Rahul Gandhi's engagements. Discussions involving senior Congress leaders and state officials have yet to reach consensus, focusing on regional and community representation. BJP leader Vijayendra Yediyurappa criticized the delay, accusing Rahul Gandhi and Congress leaders of disrespecting Karnataka's people. The swearing-in ceremony is expected by Friday, ahead of the state legislature session starting August 13.
