The Chief Minister is expected to discuss Cabinet expansion in the State with the party high command. Already, 12 portfolios, including the ones being handled by the Chief Minister, have been allocated and there are about six more to be allocated.

Party sources said there could be inclusion of a few senior leaders like Mohd Shabbir Ali and others. Since no minority leaders were elected from the party, the possibilities of inducting one minority leader into the Cabinet are high, they said.

This apart, the Political Affairs Committee of the State Congress that met here on Monday had also discussed about filling up of nominated posts. The Chief Minister is likely to discuss these issues, besides finalising the candidates for MLC posts.

This is the second time that he is traveling to New Delhi after swearing in as Chief Minister.
