Bengaluru: The much awaited Cabinet expansion in Karnataka will take place on Dec. 22, just after the Belagavi Winter Session of the two-week State Legislature ends, former Chief Minister Siddharamaiah, who is also the Chairman of the Co-ordination Committee of the JD(S)-Congress coalition government, said yesterday.
The coalition set up is expecting that the announcement will soothe frayed tempers in the Congress camp, which has become restive after multiple postponements of expansion plans. The announcement came after the leaders received the nod from JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda and Congress President Rahul Gandhi.
