Chief Minister says he may have to visit Delhi again for consultation on composition of Ministry
After meeting BJP central leaders, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Friday expressed confidence that ministerial expansion would take place within a week. The new Chief Minister ruled out any possibility of the expansion getting delayed for a long time like it did after his predecessor B.S. Yediyurappa took over in 2019. “I have tried to convince party national president J.P. Nadda about the need to give early clearance for the expansion as the State is reeling under floods and COVID-19. They have responded positively and assured me of informing at the earliest,” Mr. Bommai told reporters in New Delhi.
