Siddaramaiah's visit to Delhi comes amid ongoing discussions within the Congress leadership over strengthening the state cabinet.
Meanwhile, addressing widespread political buzz regarding an impending Cabinet reshuffle, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara maintained that any final decision on expanding the state cabinet rests squarely with the Congress party high command following talks with top state leaders.
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru before departing for New Delhi, Parameshwara confirmed that Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, the KPCC President and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah are in Delhi to deliberate on cabinet expansion with the Congress central leadership, noting that action will only follow party approval.
"The CM, the party president, and former Chief Minister are in Delhi. They will discuss the matter with the party high command. The Cabinet expansion will happen only if the high command takes a decision. We are now heading to Delhi, and the outcome will be known after those discussions," he said.
Parameshwara announced that Chief Minister Shivakumar has convened a key meeting with the state's Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs in Delhi. (ANI)
