Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Sunday said the Karnataka cabinet will be expanded on February 6 with 13 new MLAs set to be inducted.
"The Karnataka Cabinet expansion to be held on February 6 at 10:30 am," Chief Minister Yediyurappa told ANI.
The leaders to be inducted include three senior BJP leaders-- Arvind Limbavali, C. P. Yogeeshwara and Umesh Katti, whereas the other 10 include those of the 17 disqualified MLAs in Karnataka.
According to the sources, MLA R Shankar is also likely to be included in the cabinet later.
Last year in November, Yediyurappa had said he promised R Shankar, one of the 17 disqualified MLAs in Karnataka, that he would appoint the latter an MLC and a minister in the state cabinet.
Before being disqualified, Shankar was an Independent MLA from Ranibennur.
