Bengaluru: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president, Dr G. Parameshwar hinted that the Congress party would contest in both Jayanagar and Rajarajeshwari Nagar constituencies despite the alliance with the JD(S). “Our candidates are in the fray there," he said told reporters here.
He disclosed on Sunday that there was a proposal before the party to create two deputy chief minister posts, but nothing has been decided yet.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with party legislators, Dr Parameshwar said that neither the names nor the regions to which they would belong, had been finalised if at all the party decides to create two Deputy Chief Minister posts. He also made it clear that the Congress had not even discussed who would be sworn in along with Mr Kumaraswamy on May 23.
“Such being the case, how can anyone say that Cabinet portfolios have already been discussed? We have a procedure in our party, we follow that meticulously. Every formula would be discussed and finalised, these important matters have always been dealt with in Delhi not here," he argued.
