Karnataka Cabinet expansion deferred?

Reports have emerged in a section of the media that the expansion of the Karnataka Cabinet has been deferred.

The decision is said to have been taken by JD(S) supremo H D Deve Gowda who held detailed discussions with AICC in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal.

Reports also stated that Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy will convey the decision to Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

Venugopal is expected to hold a meeting with the state leaders on October 8 to iron out all issues.

With too many aspirants for too few Cabinet berths, the issue has become a thorn in the foot for the JD(S)-Congress coalition government.
