One more meeting scheduled before announcement
The countdown has begun for the expansion of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s Cabinet as its composition is set to be finalised by the BJP high command on Tuesday. Mr. Bommai, who arrived in Delhi on Sunday night, held consultations regarding the composition of the Cabinet with party national president J.P. Nadda for more than a hour on Monday night. However, the list could not be finalised in one sitting. Mr. Bommai told reporters after the meeting that the central leaders would hold one more round of consultations on Tuesday to finalise the names, including those of Deputy Chief Ministers. “They are likely to finalise the list by Tuesday evening or night, as they will be busy with the parliamentary session during the day,” he said, adding that the central leaders themselves would announce it.
