Karnataka Cabinet set for major expansion today; 20 ministers to take oath - Full list

The Karnataka cabinet is expected to expand on Monday evening, with the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for 4:05 pm. Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has started calling MLAs likely to be inducted, indicating that the final list is almost ready.

Congress MLA Hivraj Thangadagi is among those expected to join the cabinet. Supporters gathered at his residence and celebrations began soon after reports emerged that he had secured a place in the final list.

Zameer Ahmed Khan is also tipped for a ministerial berth. Although former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was reportedly upset with him after the Davanagere bypoll, party leaders are believed to have ironed out their differences, paving the way for his return to the cabinet.
