Cabinet expansion: Siddaramaiah to meet Sonia on Wednesday


New Delhi, Jun 10 (DHNS): Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday said he would meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday and discuss the possibility of reshuffling his Cabinet.

Siddaramaiah, who was here to attend the meeting of chief ministers of the Congress-ruled states, chaired by Sonia Gandhi, told reporters that he met Karnataka in-charge general secretary Digvijay Singh and discussed the issue.

Asked what transpired during his meeting with Singh, Siddaramaiah said he had sought the appointment of Sonia Gandhi and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi.

“A final decision on the (Cabinet) expansion will be taken after discussing the matter with Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi,” he added.

The chief minister is under pressure to take up the reshuffle immediately with a large number of aspirants camping in the national capital for lobbying for berths.

Though a section of the leaders among the party top brass was keen on a reshuffle of the Cabinet at the earliest, another section was suggesting that the exercise be put off till the completion of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike election, which is expected to be held within two months.

    All non performing ministers should be kicked out including Nidramayya.All work during their rule is in slow motion (Snail pace) Every year they pocket the money to repair Shiradi ghat road in a bad manner ( without any way for rain water)so that they get to repair it and pocket the money. See the previous government roads are so good and they last for many years.

    Routine Tasks of Siddu after sworn in as CM.

    * Flying every fortnight to Delhi, meet Diggi, Sonia and then Rahul.
    * Return to Mysore, meeting his local chelas, implementing some bhagya yojanas....
    * Printing his photo on Salt packet, Uppinkai bottle, Happala packet....
    When asked about developments in the state, his answer is "we will reshuffle the cabinet soon,....."

    Sidduji tour only up to delhi and back and still struggle to build repute with soniaamma.

    Modiji travel worldwide..and establish good reputation one and all.

    It's the difference.
    May be sidduji even do not know how to operate 'twitter'..in it modiji too expert.

    Who is Vinay..
    First of all don't become so wild.
    Visit of Modiji is mandatory...because earlier government done wide gap between those countries not visiting from 40 to 60 years. Same now filled as like Dr.Fix. Now no problem.

    To build the nation..we need goo relations with one and all. Afterwards look after internal matter..without any much problem.

    Shiv..

    Less than money pappu carried in a suitcase around US Dollars 100,000/- and than intercepted in Boston Airport.

    If possible just calculate and inform to the masses...better.

    Modiji had some objective on his travel..but pappu spend money on daughter of drug baron of colombia.
