Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will host a dinner party at his official residence for Union Home Minister Amit Shah on May 3, during which discussions will take place on crucial issues, including the much-awaited cabinet expansion that will have a direct impact on the state's Assembly elections.

The event will be attended by former Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, senior BJP leaders and core committee members.

BJP leaders in the state have been exerting pressure for a quick decision on the cabinet expansion.

They are stressing the fact that only about 10 months are pending for the Karnataka Assembly polls and they won't be able to do anything if more time is consumed for making decisions, sources in the party explained.
