Decision on Cabinet rejig soon, says CM

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said he will soon fly to Delhi to discuss with the party high command about reshuffling the cabinet.

Speaking to reporters after garlanding the statue of Babu Jagjivan Ram at the Vidhana Soudha, he said that the party MLAs were mounting pressure on him with regard to the reshuffle. Home Minister and the KPCC (Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee) president G Parameshwara said there was nothing wrong in a group of party MLAs demanding cabinet reshuffle. “They have not spoken anything against the party. They have only given a few suggestions in the party’s interest.

The suggestions will be looked into at the KPCC executive committee meeting on April 16,” he added.
