BJP senior leaders believe that central leadership is unlikely to allow any abrupt change in portfolios
Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who is in New Delhi to discuss various irrigation and developmental issues with Union Ministers, is also expected to broach the issue of dissatisfaction among a few Ministers about their portfolios and heartburns among disappointed ministerial aspirants. However, party senior leaders are of the view that the central leadership is unlikely to allow any abrupt change in portfolios. “It appears that any change may be effected only when ministerial expansion takes place,” said a senior functionary. Any expansion exercise may take at least a month as the State legislature session too is about to commence. “There is a likelihood of the high command suggesting a reshuffle along with ministerial expansion. One need not be surprised if one or two Ministers are dropped,” said the leader.More Related News
