New Delhi: Karnataka JD(S) chief H D Kumaraswamy, who is all set to take oath as the Karnataka Chief Minister, met alliance partners and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on Monday evening.
The meeting was aimed at finalising the modalities of government formation and ministerial berth sharing between the post-poll allies, JD(S) and Congress. Kumaraswamy, who will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on May 23, also met his pre-poll ally BSP chief Mayawati, whose party bagged one seat in the state.
In his meeting with the Congress leaders Sonia and Rahul, Kumaraswamy discussed the issue of Cabinet formation and the division of ministerial positions between the two parties. Congress is known to have suggested the idea of two Deputy Chief Minister’s for the numerically strong party in order to strike a balance with the JD(S).
However, the latter is believed to be against this proposal. KPCC chief G Parameshwara is among the potential candidates for the Deputy Chief Minister’s post.
Following the 20-minute long meeting, which took place at Rahul Gandhi’s Tughlak Lane residence, Kumaraswamy said that he has invited Sonia and Rahul Gandhi for the swearing-in ceremony in Bengaluru. “I wanted to show my respect and regards to Gandhi family. That’s why I came here.
I requested them further presence in oath taking ceremony. Both of them agreed to be present at the oath-taking ceremony,” he said. AICC in-charge of Karnataka K C Venugopal was also present at the meeting.
