Karnataka Congress chief G Parameshwara will be appointed deputy chief minister, in a decision that ends the speculation over how many deputies Chief Minister-designate DK Shivakumar would have, sources said. Parameshwara, who also served as state home minister, is an influential and prominent Dalit leader. Parameshwara wants to be the only deputy to Shivakumar, though others are still trying to push for more than one deputy chief minister, they said.
Shivakumar's oath-taking is scheduled tomorrow. Today's discussions within the Congress that zeroed in on Parameshwara also covered the topic of minister selection for the new cabinet. The meeting took a long time as the Congress also looked into finding a new state chief for the party, and names for the Rajya Sabha and legislative council seats, sources said, adding that it is taking time to come to a consensus because of these reasons.
