Inside Track: What Rahul Gandhi Wants New DK Shivakumar Government To Look Like

As Karnataka gets set for a change of guard with the Congress high command's decision to hand over the reins of the state to DK Shivakumar, the party's leadership has got down to the brass tacks. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has issued key directives on the contours of the new government under Shivakumar. Sources have told NDTV that Gandhi wants greater representation for Dalits, OBCs and minorities in the new Cabinet. This is key for Rahul Gandhi's social justice plank as the Congress has been forced to remove its only OBC chief minister in Siddaramaiah in the wake of sustained demand for change from the DK Shivakumar camp.
