Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly Jagadish Shettar said on Sunday that the ministry reshuffle had stirred up a hornet’s nest and the disappointed Congress leaders were expressing their ire against the chief minister publicly. This could lead to collapse of the government.

Speaking to mediapersons, Shettar said, instead of a reshuffle, Siddaramaiah should have dropped non-performing ministers. He said, though the Siddaramaiah-led government completed three years, it had still not taken off. It would be difficult to expect good governance from Siddaramaiah now onwards as he would be busy preparing for the 2018 polls.
