“The CM’s office sent a letter to the governor’s office seeking time for the oath administration either on Friday or Sunday. Most likely it is going to happen on Friday,” a close associate of CM informed Newskarnataka.
No ministership to Kumatanahalli and Patil

“In the first round MTB Nagaraj and AH Vishwanath, who were defeated in the by-election will also not get the minister posts. Umesh Katti and Aravind Limbavali will make it into the cabinet,” he concluded.
