Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy has called a meeting of JDS legislators on Tuesday amid expected Cabinet expansion or reshuffle to save the Government headed by him following persisting dissidence within coalition partner Congress.
A senior JDS functionary on Monday said the meeting was likely to discuss the recent political developments in the State, performance in the Lok Sabha and Urban Local body polls and steps the party will need to take politically in the future.
All political issues, including expansionor reshuffle of the Congress-JDS ministry, are likely to come up for discussion during the meeting, he said. Kumaraswamy and coalition Coordination Committee chief and senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah have held several rounds of meetings recently, the last being on Saturday night regarding cabinet expansion or reshuffle.
A top official source had said it is likely to take place only after June 4.
The Congress in Karnataka last week had gone into a huddle to avert a potential existential crisis to the one-year-old coalition ministry and discussed about the possible cabinet rejig to address the dissidence within.
