New Delhi, June 2 -- The formation of the new Karnataka cabinet gained momentum on Monday as chief minister-designate DK Shivakumar and former CM Siddaramaiah submitted their respective lists of ministerial candidates to Congress state in-charge Randeep Surjewala ahead of the June 3 swearing-in. A high-level meeting, comprising Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, general secretary KC Venugopal, Surjewala, Shivakumar, and Siddaramaiah, is scheduled for Tuesday to finalise the cabinet's composition. According to two leaders aware of the developments, the selection of the deputy chief ministers remains unresolved as both state's former home minister G Parameshwara and outgoing minister Priyank Kharge are eyeing the slot. Parameshwara served as home minister in the earlier Siddaramaiah government, while Priyank -- son of Mallikarjun Kharge -- held the high-profile electronics, IT/BT, and Rural Development & Panchayat Raj portfolios. Both leaders are prominent Dalit faces who fit the party's criteria for caste balance in the upcoming government. A senior Congress leader said that Surjewala has already laid the groundwork for Tuesday's consultations. "Surjewala met both Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar to discuss their respective list of candidates. He also had a meeting with Venugopal for less than 30 minutes," said the leader, requesting anonymity. Arriving in Delhi ahead of his swearing-in, Shivakumar said: "My good wishes to Karnataka. They (the people of Karnataka) all had been waiting for a long time." A second Congress functionary indicated that if Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar failed to reach an immediate consensus on the full list of ministers, a smaller council of ministers may take oath on Wednesday....
