BENGALURU, June 1 -- Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Sunday that the party leadership was yet to receive a formal proposal on the size or structure of the new Karnataka council of ministers, amid speculation over cabinet berths and the deputy chief minister's post.
DK Shivakumar is set to take oath as CM on June 3, days after Siddaramaiah stepped down from the post at the instance of the Congress high command. "No proposal has come yet. Once it comes, discussions will be held on how many ministers and deputy CMs there will be," Kharge said. P7
