Deputy CM Shivakumar hints at Cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka

Amid speculation that a Cabinet reshuffle was on cards, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Tuesday indicated about the possibility of such an exercise in the days ahead, as he noted that few ministers have been given a "message" about their term.

Shivakumar, who is also the state Congress president, hinted about it, as he referred to the term of office of panchayat chairman being fixed to two years with a message that they will have to demit office after that, and a similar message being given to some ministers too.

He, however, did not elaborate further. But, his comments are being seen as an indication about possible reshuffle in the days ahead.
