Karnataka cabinet to be expanded today

May 18, 2013 09:22

The four-day old Siddaramaiah ministry in Karnataka will be expanded today with the induction of 29 ministers, an exercise from which the "tainted" would be kept out.

Siddaramaiah, who was sworn in as the chief minister on May 13 marking return of the Congress to power after a seven-year hiatus, however, ruled out induction of any deputy chief minister.

Twenty nine ministers will be sworn in at Raj Bhavan, the 64-year-old chief minister told reporters in the district headquarters town of Mysore on his return from Delhi where the first list of ministers was finalised in consultation with the party's central leadership.
