Will G Parameshwara become Karnataka's next Deputy Chief Minister?

It is believed that while the Congress will get 20 ministerial berths, the Janata Dal (Secular) will get to keep about 13-14. Kumaraswamy may keep the finance portfolio with himself.

G Parameshwara, Karnataka Congress chief, may get the deputy CMs post. DK Shivakumar, who played a pivotal role in ensuring that no MLA from the Congress or JD(S) jumped ship to the BJP, may retain his old portfolio as the energy minister.
