Bengaluru, May 23: After several rounds of meetings and consultations an understanding has been reached on sharing of berths in the Ministry between the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular) in H D Kumaraswamy-led government. With the size of the Ministry fixed at 34, the Congress will get 22 berths, including that of Deputy Chief Minister, while the JD(S) will get 12, including the Chief Minister.

Governor Vajubhai Vala will administer the oath of office and secrecy to Mr. Kumaraswamy on the steps of the Vidhana Soudha at 4.30 p.m. today, in the presence of a galaxy of national leaders who are in the forefront of an effort to form a united non-BJP coalition.

Besides former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, Congress president Rahul Gandhi, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Chief Ministers of Kerala, Odisha, Delhi, West Bengal and Puducherry are expected to participate in the swearing-in ceremony.

Mr. Kumaraswamy, 58, who will be sworn in as the Chief Minister for the second time, was the Chief Minister for 20 months in the JD(S)-BJP coalition government during 2006-07. G. Parameshwara, 67, the Dalit face of the Congress, will also be sworn in on Wednesday as Deputy Chief Minister.

K.C. Venugopal, who is Congress general secretary in charge of Karnataka, said given that the Congress's number (78) in the Assembly was double than of the JD(S) (36), their party would get the Speaker’s post and the Deputy Speaker slot would go to the JD(S).

Thirty-two Ministers and portfolio allocation will be decided after the floor test of the coalition government that is likely to be held on Thursday or Friday.

There are 221 elected members in the Assembly and the coalition partners have 117 members, including one from the BSP and two independents.

The Ministry expansion and allocation of portfolios will be delayed as both parties have decided to take into account factors such as caste, region, experience, service to the party and age, for giving ministerial berths.

The Congress-JD(S) have also reached an understanding on the formation of a coordination committee comprising members of both parties to evolve a common minimum programme. “Within one or two days, the committee too will be announced,” Mr. Venugopal said.

Bengaluru, Jan 5: BJP leader and Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa once again blamed the Congress of creating 'confusion' among the Muslim community over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act-2019 while launching a door to door campaign to dispel such rumors.

Yediyurappa was on a door-to-door campaign to make people aware of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and to allay their fears.

"Unnecessarily, the members of Congress are creating confusion among the Muslim community. I assure you that not a single Muslim will be affected because of CAA," said B. S. Yediyurappa.

"Almost all previous Prime Ministers have supported it, now Congress is creating a problem so as to create confusion among Muslims. That's why we are out on the door-to-door campaign," he said.

The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
