Covid fears: Expert panel will be consulted on cap on cinemas and malls, says Bommai
HUBBALLI:
Any initiative on ministry expansion would be taken after consulting the party’s top leadership, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said here on Monday.
“Right now we are engaged in the Legislative Council poll battle and preparations for the Belagavi session of the legislature. As for ministry expansion, the future course of action would be based on suggestions from our senior leadership,” Bommai told media persons at Hubballi airport.
Replying to a question about reports of an alliance with the JDS, he said, “it is for JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy to convey his party’s stand.”
Reacting to Congress leader DK Shivakumar’s statement that he was sent to jail because he refused to join the BJP, Bommai said, “I need not reply to all his statements.”
When asked about any proposal to impose a 50% cap on gatherings at cinema halls and malls, the Chief Minister said suitable decisions about all such aspects would be taken in consultation with the expert committee.
