00:05And the latest coming in from Karnataka, we're getting you details of how DKS cabinet expansion
00:10has now been delayed. Those are the details just coming in. Cabinet expansion has been
00:15halted temporarily as Malikar Jum Kharge has rushed back to Bangalore. It has been postponed
00:20for a day or two. We will be informed when the discussions will resume is what the Karnataka
00:26Congress President has said. That's the word coming in from the Karnataka Congress President
00:31who has said that expansion in DKS cabinet has been postponed. Of course, the timeline
00:37that has been put to it. So it has been postponed for a day or two. But the reason that
00:41is being
00:42said that Malikar Jum Kharge has halted the expansion temporarily as he has rushed back to Bangalore.
00:49So whether there is any internal change when it comes to decision making or what we can
00:54exactly expect is something we will know and we are trying to gather more details on.
00:58But the Karnataka Congress President has made this statement. He has said that we will be
01:04informed when discussions resume. Karnataka Congress President confirming that the DKS cabinet expansion
01:11has been delayed. Listen in.
01:15I have said that.
01:16What is this?
01:17What is this?
01:17The ├У╨╛╨│ Jayara committee has just discussed some, and the other Congress has also died in
01:22Bangalore. We have already been asked for two days or two days. Then when it comes to
01:30the press, we will stop and we will go and turn it over for the Karnataka. We have a meeting
01:42Rahul Gautam who's joining us on the broadcast. Rahul, any scoop that you're picking up on why
01:48this delay, anything that is beneath what the script is already? Because the reason being said
01:54that Malika Arjun Khargiyah has rushed back to Bangalore and it is a matter of day or two or
01:58could it be more? The entire process of handpicking cabinet ministers is a very complex process and
02:07therefore party is taking all its time to ensure that all those who are going to get inducted
02:12into the cabinet are performers, are somebody who are very strong ideologically and therefore
02:19they also and they would have to strike a balance between all the communities, all the regions
02:24and that's why it is taking somewhat time. We've been informed that on 18th most likely another
02:30round of meeting will be taking place here in the national capital wherein again all the
02:34leaders like Mr. D.K. Shipkumar, Sidra Ramya, Mr. Hari Prasad, all these leaders are going
02:40to come together again and going to deliberate upon the possible names and once this process
02:46is completed and then an oath ceremony will be taking place there in Bangalore. But as
02:53I was telling you earlier also the idea is to get caste combinations right, get regional
03:00aspirations intact and on board and that's why it is taking somewhat time. Also as you also
03:06mentioned that Mr. Malikarjun Kargay, Congress President has left for Bangalore and therefore
03:12you know without his presence it will be difficult for them to take any call on these names and that's
03:18why it has been shelved you know for another day and we've been informed that on 18th most likely
03:24all these leaders are going to come together again and then going to decide upon names.
03:28All right Rahul, many thanks for those details.
