The process of finalising the list of ministers for the Karnataka Cabinet is set to conclude by June 3, according to reports. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar have been engaged in discussions over critical aspects of cabinet formation, including the creation of a deputy chief minister’s post, the establishment of a coordination committee, and the selection of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president.
The negotiations between the two senior leaders reflect the complexities involved in balancing party interests and governance priorities.

Further details on the composition of the cabinet and the agreed-upon roles will likely emerge after June 3. The developments are being closely monitored as they hold implications for the governance and political dynamics in Karnataka.
