Consultations over expansion of the Cabinet are expected to resume after the special legislature session comes to an end on Wednesday. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar will head back to Delhi to meet the Central leaders.
A special three-day session has been convened from Monday where the newly elected members will be administered oath by the pro term Speaker R.V. Deshpande. Mr. Siddaramaiah has indicated that a new full term Speaker will also be elected in the session.
“The consultation process is not over yet. The Cabinet expansion will take place before May 26,” KPCC working president Saleem Ahmed told The Hindu. He indicated that the Cabinet would be a mixture of seniors and a few new faces.
