Seeking berths in Karnataka cabinet for Congress MLAs, senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge said on Sunday that they being a national party supported a regional one so there ought to be a 'give and take' equation.
"Keeping everything in mind, there ought to be a 'give and take' equation," he said here, ahead of the crucial Congress-Janata Dal (Secular) meeting to discuss the future of the alliance in the state assembly. With Kumaraswamy all set to take oath as the Karnataka Chief Minister on May 23, leaders from the Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) will be meeting today.The elected MLAs from both the parties are expected to attend the meeting.
On Saturday, Kumaraswamy was invited by Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala to form the government in the state, after Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) B.S. Yeddyurappa stepped down ahead of the floor test in the state assembly.
While Kumaraswamy was earlier expected to swear-in as Karnataka Chief Minister on May 21, the ceremony later got pushed to May 23 due to the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Karnataka Chief Minister-designate HD Kumaraswamy on Sunday said he will prove the majority just 24 hours before taking the oath.
"Tomorrow morning, I am going to Delhi. I will meet Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. Just 24 hours after the oath, I'll prove the majority," Kumaraswamy told reporters here.
