"State cabinet expansion on September 5 at 4.30 pm at Glass House of Raj Bhavan in Bengaluru," Department of Information and Public Relations said in a release here.
Sources in the state Congress said that M Krishnappa, a Vokkaliga leader representing Vijaynagar Assembly constituency here, is likely to be inducted into the cabinet.
This is seen by political observers as a move by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, heading the three-year old Congress government, to assuage the ruffled sentiments of Vokkaliga community who have been expressing their ire for dropping their leaders -- M H Ambareesh and Kimmane Ratnakar in June this year.
