K'taka Cabinet decisions done? CM leaves meet
May 25, 2023
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah leaves the war room at 15 GRG after having a meeting with Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, Congress in-charge for Karnataka -- Randeep Surjewala, and the party's general secretary KC Venugopal over the formation of the state cabinet.
The grand old party won 135 seats in the May 10 Assembly elections for the 224-member legislature. Some of the senior Congress leaders called for decisions on ministers to be based on the communities that strongly supported the party in polls.
Hence, the grand old party's decision to appoint Shivakumar as the sole deputy CM of Karnataka has brought disappointment to several community leaders. DK Shivakumar belongs to the Vokkaliga community.
