Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister Priyank Kharge on Friday said the allocation of portfolios among ministers was the prerogative of Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and ruled out any confusion over the exercise, amid speculation about a possible reshuffle. Kharge, speaking to reporters here, said the chief minister would take a decision after consulting the party high command on who should be entrusted with which responsibility to ensure the government functions effectively. "Even after that, if the high command suddenly feels that Kharge should resign and work for the party, everyone will have to abide by it. There is no going back on what the high command intends to do," he said. On reports of discontent among Kuruba legislators, particularly with former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Kharge said the government had attempted to maintain representation while acknowledging demands from different communities.
