Karnataka's Congress Plans Ministerial Allocations Amid Delhi Talks and Internal Disputes
On August 13, as the Monsoon Session of the legislature begins, Karnataka's Congress government plans to allocate portfolios to the 19 newly sworn-in Ministers on Monday. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar met Congress Central leadership in Delhi over weekend to finalize allocations amid conflicts and demands from new Ministers for preferred departments. The process was delayed due to internal disputes, with speculation about accommodating disgruntled senior legislators by dropping some new Ministers unlikely due to current Cabinet constraints. A woman is expected to fill the lone vacant berth soon.
