Karnataka Reshuffle Buzz: Home Minister Rubbishes Claims, Calls Meet 'Casual Dinner'

Speculation is intensifying over a potential cabinet reshuffle in Karnataka, coinciding with the government approaching its two-and-a-half-year mark. While the Chief Minister has reportedly sought the high command's approval, Home Minister Dr. G. Parameshwara downplayed the rumors. Regarding a meeting scheduled for October 13th, he stated it is merely a "casual meeting, a dinner meeting, it's nothing to do with reshuffle." This comes as supporters of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar are vocally pushing for a change of guard, suggesting it is his turn to lead. According to the transcript, some ministers are tense about their positions, even as many MLAs are asking for changes. The ongoing discussions and the upcoming dinner have fueled a political buzz about the stability and future leadership of the state government.
