Amid cabinet reshuffle talk, ministers say they’ll abide high command directive

BENGALURU: As rumours of a cabinet reshuffle are doing the rounds, state ministers appear nonchalant, sparking speculation about their future course of action.

As the cabinet reshuffle is being talked about, the ministers of the Siddaramaiah government have started saying that they will “abide by the Congress high command’s orders”. The ministers have been acting calm and seem composed.

It remains to be seen whether they are playing it safe or showcasing loyalty to the high command. With whispers of potential changes, ministers seem to be sending subtle messages to their inner circles while publicly echoing the same tune —”We follow high command directions; no objections”.

Their reaction to the reshuffle rumours suggests they are playing a strategic game, potentially to safeguard their positions or demonstrate loyalty. It is said that the ministers are rolling their own dice by saying that they are even ready to leave the ministerial post if the high command says so.
