Expansion of Karnataka Cabinet to be held tomorrow

BENGALURU: On Tuesday morning, the Ministers will be sworn in after Mr Yediyurappa signs off in Delhi over his picks for the cabinet.

As per sources, referring to Home Minister Amit Shah, the BJP president, Mr Yediyurappa had said, "Within two-three hours, I am going to get the final list from Amit Bhai. So, cabinet expansion will be done tomorrow."

The delay in cabinet formation provoked criticism from the opposition Congress and JDS. "Is this what BJP means by 'Minimum Government'? A cabinet without cabinet ministers? Will @BSYBJP wake up & stop our state being mocked across the country. Karnataka needs a government. If @BSYBJP can't form one, he should step down," the Congress had tweeted.
