Cabinet reshuffle or expansion after Delhi visit: Karnataka CM Bommai

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Monday that a final decision on cabinet expansion will be taken only after his visit to New Delhi.
“The High command has to give directions on my visit and it will be decided in New Delhi itself whether there would be cabinet reshuffle or just cabinet expansion in the state,” he said.
Speaking to reporters Bommai said that the matter of cabinet expansion has been discussed with party President J.P. Nadda already. He had assured that he would inform after conducting a meeting in this regard.
The statement of Bommai proved to be a dampener for cabinet berth aspirants who expected the cabinet expansion to take place immediately after Ugadi festival (April 2). With the resignation of K.S. Eshwarappa, five posts in the cabinet are now vacant. Since, the elections are fast approaching (2023), the party is treading cautiously with regard to expansion.
Talking about the Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) recruitment scandal, Bommai clarified that there are demands for re-examination. “But, we will take a call on it only after the CID investigation report comes,” he said.
“Once the allegation surfaced, state Home Minister Araga Jnanendra had handed over the investigation to CID. The step was taken to ensure an unbiased probe. The directions have been given for comprehensive investigation and no one will be spared,” he said.

After being removed from the Congress, the government was formed in Chhattisgarh with a majority, then won all the three by-elections (Chitrakoot, Dantewada and Marwahi), CM Baghel said.
For making this significant contribution to the Congress party, I thank Ajit Jogi ji again and again, the CM said.

However, after speaking on party affairs, the CM attacked BJP and said, BJP is afraid of Rahul Gandhi.
He also taunted Amit Shah visit and said, last time Shah gave slogan 65 paar, it was for the Congress.
Dr. Charandas Mahant, Speaker of Chhattisgarh Assembly also addressed the conference and said, there are 24 seats in the Bilaspur division, but due BSP increased strength, the contest became triangular and Congress started losing elections.
However, apart from speaking on seat equation, Mahant remembered, Congress former State President Nandkumar Patel and his son’s martyrdom in Jheeram ghati massacre.
He appealed to the congressmen to work hard to ensure the victory.
Tickets will be given based on survey: Markram
