BANGALORE, JAN 25: Chief Minister J H Patel said on Monday that his Council of Ministers would be expanded by this week-end.

Replying to questions at a media conference here, Patel gave indications to the effect that neither did he plan to drop any member of the existing Council of Ministers nor reconstitute the Ministry. “There will only be an expansion,” he said.

He said the meeting of the senior party leaders in Delhi on Sunday was inconclusive and made it clear that “there is no question of taking dictations from anyone”.

“There is no high command in Janata Dal to dictate terms,” said Patel. He added that senior JD leaders H D Deve Gowda and S R Bommai would return to Bangalore on Tuesday and that he would discuss the issue with them.
