DCM DK Shivakumar's revelation on cabinet formation in 1999 when Congress came to power in the state and SM Krishna was appointed chief minister led to an interesting discussion in the House on Thursday.
While paying tributes to Krishna, Shivakumar highlighted his close association with the late leader. He recalled some events when Congress returned to power and Krishna was appointed as chief minister in 1999.
Shivakumar explained how he and TB Jayachandra were tasked with preparing a list of ministers and portfolios to them under Krishna's guidance. The list was sent to the party high command. However, when the list came back, their names (Shivakumar and Jayachandra's) were missing.
