Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Sunday stated that he would contact the BJP high-command in a day or two, in the wake of the State BJP core committee meeting held on Saturday, and the process of Cabinet expansion would be initiated if the high-command gives direction.

"At present, we are in the process of Legislative Council and Rajya Sabha elections. In the wake of the State BJP core committee meeting held on Saturday, I will contact the high command tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The process of the Cabinet expansion would be initiated when the high command gives direction," he said.
