Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Thursday said there are "99 per cent chances" of BJP high command giving clearance to the much-awaited expansion of his Ministry by January 31.

He said he got appointments from Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda late Thursday evening to discuss about the expansion and added that he was also looking at the availability of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to meet him as well.

"After meeting them in Delhi, I will come back (to Bengaluru) tomorrow morning. I'm going there to discuss about the cabinet expansion," Yediyurappa told reporters here before leaving for the capital.

Responding to a question whether the Ministry expansion would take place on Friday, he said, "99 per cent, it will get clearance and I'll come from there (Delhi) tomorrow."
