However, he did not specify when his next visit to the national capital would be.
“A decision has to be taken as a political party in this regard. Maybe I will discuss it next time I go to Delhi. I had expected to speak to JP Nadda (BJP National President) on this when he Will come here, but he could not come (today),” Mr Bommai said in response to a question on the cabinet exercise.
“Next time I go to Delhi, I will discuss it and take a final decision on it,” he said.
JP Nadda was to visit the state on Thursday to participate in a mega rally ‘Janotsav’ at Doddaballapur near here to commemorate one year of the Bommai government and three years of the BJP.

He said that his government is a team work with capable administrators, serviceable, experienced, young and energetic people in the cabinet. “My cabinet is with commitment and all of them have contributed to the achievements of the last one year.”
