New Delhi: The Congress has reportedly finalised a list of 20 leaders for appointments to boards and corporations and it is likely to be announced by next week.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, also the state party president, and Congress general secretary incharge of the state Randeep Surjewala held a meeting here to finalise the list on Thursday, party sources said.
Though the meeting discussed names for four nominations to the legislature Council, it failed to finalise the names. They decided to consult party leader Rahul Gandhi and finalise the nominations soon, sources said.
Though the CM had earlier finalised four names, they were withheld after the DCM opposed it, saying preference should be given to party workers.
The CM and his deputy are in the national capital to attend the OBC conclave organised by the party.
