"Early election to the state assembly will not worry the state BJP if the Election Commission declares polls along with other states," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

It was left to the Election Commission to decide on declaring early polls, Gowda said.

Replying to a query, Gowda said a final decision would be taken on cabinet expansion after consulting BJP's central leadership.

"It should have been done by now, but couldn't materialise in the event of new hurdles cropping up time and again. Final decision on the issue will be taken after deliberating with central leadership," he said.

Gowda also said he was visiting New Delhi to participate in deliberations on choosing NDA's Presidential candidate.

On delayed arrival of monsoon in the state, Gowda said he expected good rainfall that would make farmers happy.
