With simmering discontent in the ruling Congress, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Tuesday said appointments of heads to the government-owned boards and corporations would be made soon, and both Congress legislators and party workers would be placed in these posts.
Mr. Shivakumar, who is also the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president, indicated that about 15 to 20 party MLAs and MLCs who were keen to hold the posts would be accommodated, and the rest of the posts would be given to loyal party workers.
“We will do it, don’t worry,” Mr. Shivakumar told reporters in response to a question on reports about discontent in the party over the delay in appointments to various boards and corporations, despite it being over 100 days since the party came to power in the State.
