The Karnataka cabinet expansion has been delayed due to ongoing monsoon session of Parliament and other political developments in New Delhi. The meeting between Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and state Congress leaders, including Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, was earlier scheduled for Wednesday but has been deferred to Thursday. The delay is due to the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, which has kept several leaders busy in Delhi. The Karnataka cabinet expansion has been pending for some time, and the delay is likely to further postpone the process.
Shivakumar is set to meet with party leaders in Delhi to finalise the cabinet expansion, expected to be announced this week. The decision comes after prolonged delays and internal party discussions over portfolios and representation. The expansion aims to strengthen the government’s legislative footprint ahead of upcoming assembly sessions. Sources indicate the reshuffle will include both new inductees and existing ministers in key portfolios.
