Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar

Amid simmering discontent over the recent Cabinet expansion in the state, Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and party general secretary Randeep Surjewala on Wednesday met disgruntled legislators.

The exercise is seen as the party's attempt at damage control following protests by supporters of MLAs denied Cabinet berths.

Similar efforts were made by Karnataka Congress President B K Hariprasad and a few other ministers to pacify the disgruntled legislators. -- PTI
