Photographs released after a a series of meetins on Friday showed Siddaramaiah's son, Yathindra Siddaramaiah, alongside senior Congress leaders, fuelling speculation over his possible induction into the government. While some reports suggested he could be considered for a deputy chief minister's post, leaders involved in the talks indicated that Yathindra is more likely to be inducted as a cabinet minister.-"Siddaramaiah wants Yathindra in a politically significant department. The social welfare portfolio is among the options under discussion," HT quoted a leader familiar with the talks as saying. The social welfare department, which oversees programmes for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes, is regarded as one of the more influential portfolios in the state government.-People familiar with the matter have said that Siddaramaiah sought a broader coordination mechanism linking the Congress organisation and the state government. "The BJP in Karnataka has a state president but also a coordination committee headed by BS Yediyurappa, which functions as an advisory body. Something on similar lines is what is being sought," a senior leader aware of the discussions held on Friday said. Leaders aligned with Shivakumar are understood to have opposed the proposal, arguing that it could create parallel centres of authority in Bengaluru after the transition of power. According to party leaders, the Congress high command has not yet agreed to the proposal.(With inputs from Sunetra Choudhury)
