The tussle among Ministers for some key portfolios is said to be the reason for the delay in issuing the final notification on allocation of portfolios by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to his ministerial colleagues, including Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar.
According to sources, the allocation of portfolios is likely to be made on Monday. The delay is said to be on account of a few Ministers seeking plum portfolios.
Actually, the allocation of portfolios was expected to be done on Sunday itself, as 24 Ministers had been sworn-in on Saturday.
