Bengaluru, 26 Oct

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Sunday said his visit to New Delhi was a routine engagement.

He said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would speak about the Cabinet reshuffle.

"I regularly go there (New Delhi). Whenever there is work, I go there. I will go to meet the high command, to take rest, for shopping, also for court cases," Shivakumar told reporters before leaving for the national capital.

Siddaramaiah on Saturday hinted that Cabinet reshuffle would happen after November when his government completes two-and-half years.

"Once that milestone is reached, I will hold discussions with them and proceed as per their guidance," Siddaramaiah said.

On his scheduled visit to New Delhi on 16 November, he said it is primarily for the launch of a book authored by former party leader and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal.

"During the visit, I will also meet the party High Command. It is our duty to brief them on the State's administration and ongoing developments," he said.

Siddaramaiah further said the winter session of the Karnataka Assembly is likely to be held in December.
