Cabinet expansion plan gathers pace as Karnataka CM D.K. Shivakumar set for Delhi visit soon
Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, along with D.K. Shivakumar and B.K. Hariprasad, are expected to meet in New Delhi next week to discuss the expansion of the Chief Minister’s Cabinet. The Congress is facing pressure from MLAs seeking ministerial positions, particularly those from the Muslim community, as well as senior legislators who have not been appointed yet. The expansion will address regional imbalances and accommodate community and factional considerations, but the leadership must balance seniority with generational change to avoid political risks.
