Siddaramaiah faces a big challenge: According to media reports, there is a difference of opinion between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar regarding the names of MLAs in the cabinet. Allocation of portfolios to new ministers and formation of a cabinet in which all communities, regions, factions and new and old generation legislators get representation is a very challenging task for Siddaramaiah. The biggest thing is that the sanctioned number of ministers in the Karnataka cabinet is 35. In view of this many leaders are involved in the race to become ministers.
