Karnatake Cabinet exercise on January 13 or 14: CM Yediyurapp

11 Jan 2021 Evaluate

Karnataka Chief Minister (CM) B S Yediyurappa today said the much-awaited expansion or reshuffle of his cabinet will take place on January 13 or 14, and BJP National President J P Nadda will be invited for the swearing-in.

Though the Chief Minister indicated that seven new faces will be inducted, he did not make it clear whether it will be cabinet expansion or reshuffle. ‘On January 13 or 14 according to convenience of our national President J P Nadda and Karnataka in-charge (general secretary Arun Singh), by inviting them, swearing in ceremony will be organised,’ Yediyurappa said.

The cabinet expansion or reshuffle is expected to be a tightrope walk for the CM, considering that there are too many aspirants, from the party old guard to Congress- JD(S) rebels who are now BJP legislators. The cabinet currently has 27 members, and seven berths are still vacant.
