Bengaluru: Former CM Siddaramaiah has stated that the state cabinet expansion will be taken up only after a green signal from the high command.
Speaking to the reporters in Gadag he stated that soon the state Congress leaders will discuss the cabinet expansion plan with the party high command. “Once we get a green signal, new ministers will be inducted into the state cabinet,” he said.
He also stated that the BJP will not be able to win in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2019 in the state. “Jamakhandi and Ballari by-election results revealed that the BJP has lost popularity in the state. People rejected the fascist forces,” he said.
