Bengaluru/New Delhi: It is said that All India Congress Committee president, Rahul Gandhi, has been demanding resting the individuals who had before worked as ministers, and offering chance to the youths. A substantial number of senior leaders of the party are against this recipe. As against this, JD(S) purportedly has chosen to give one portfolio for each minister and point of limited number of minister to one for every district. CM H D Kumaraswamy, has focused on that even his brother, H D Revanna,  is not an exception to this rule, putting to rest the speculation that Revanna will have two portfolios, PWD and energy.

Congress leaders, Dr G Parameshwar, Siddaramaiah D K Shivakumar and some others left for New Delhi on Monday evening with a list of possibles. They will talk about the list with Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday June 5 evening and ideally finalize the list.

JD(S), it is stated, has chosen to make G T Deve Gowda from Mysuru, C S Puttaraju or D C Tammanna from Mandya, Gubbi Vasu or Satyanarayana, Srinivas Gowda from Kolar and Bandeppa Kashampur from Bidar. There are a few applicants from Hassan, Mandya, Mysuru and Tumakuru yet the initiative will give just a single ministerial post to each area. H Vishwanath, who traversed to JD(S) and won from Hunsur is probably going to be made deputy speaker of the legislative assembly. In spite of the fact that an aggregate of 11 people from JD(S) can move toward becoming ministers, it is said that in the main extension of the service, eight would be drafted and three positions will be left empty. From Lingayat share, a MLC will be made minister and B M Fafooq will be made a minister from minorities standard.
