Karnataka Cabinet Expansion Complete, But Portfolio Allocation Still Pending

Karnataka's cabinet expansion is now complete with 33 of the 34 sanctioned ministerial positions filled after the second phase inducted 19 new ministers. However, the newly inducted ministers are yet to receive their departmental portfolios. The delay has created an administrative challenge for Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who must oversee the distribution process. The unresolved portfolio allocation leaves the expanded cabinet in a state of functional uncertainty until assignments are finalized.
