According to reports, following high command directives, more than 12 inactive or corruption-accused ministers may be dropped, paving the way for fresh faces.

Political activity within the Congress is currently at a fever pitch, with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah kicking off an active cabinet meeting this evening. After two and a half years in power, the convening of a select group of ministers for a meeting followed by a dinner has drawn urgent attention.

Reports indicate that, in line with high command instructions, over 12 ministers accused of inactivity or corruption could be sidelined to make room for new faces.

Under the guise of dinner, discussions on intriguing intra-party matters are expected to take place. Given the high command's prior emphasis on the need for a cabinet reshuffle, options such as unceremoniously relieving certain ministers of their duties and inducting fresh faces are under consideration.Also Read: Women's World Cup 2025: India vs Australia: Poor Bowling Leads to India's Humiliating Defeat
