Karnataka Cabinet Expansion: A day after Union Minister Amit Shah's visit to the city, the Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the senior leader will communicate to him the BJP central leadership's decision about the cabinet exercise.
With speculation about the much awaited expansion or reshuffle of his cabinet persisting, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Thursday reiterated that he is ready to go to New Delhi to discuss it, as soon as the BJP central leadership calls him.
A day after Union Minister Amit Shah's visit to the city, the Chief Minister on Wednesday said that the senior leader will communicate to him the BJP central leadership's decision about the cabinet exercise.
With the state cabinet meeting scheduled to be held on May 5 being postponed to May 11, speculations are rife that it may be to accommodate expansion or reshuffle of the Ministry, amid reports that the BJP high command is expected to arrive at a decision in this regard before May 10.
"You (media) create things and you ask for clarification on all self made stories....I haven't said anything else...what he (Shah) has said is he will speak to all other leaders in Delhi and communicate to me, once he tells me, I'm ready to go (to Delhi), that's all," Mr Bommai said on Thursday in response to a question on clarity about cabinet expansion or reshuffle.
