As the D-day for the scheduled cabinet expansion approaches, aspirants in Congress are doubtful of the exercise taking place on December 22. Many feel it is going to be one more false promise as the leadership is worried about a rebellion by those who fail to make it to the ministry and its impact on the coalition government’s stability. The state Congress chief, however, says it will not be delayed.
The state Congress leaders have announced that the much-awaited ministry expansion will take place on December 22 after the winter session of the state legislature. The issue is likely to come up for discussion during the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting on December 18.
