Just as a group of Congress legislators aspiring to become Ministers are planning to reach Delhi next week to press for Cabinet expansion, the leadership issue in the Congress is unlikely to be settled soon.With the Congress’s task of selecting its Chief Minister if the UDF comes to power in Kerala expected to be tough, the leadership issue in Karnataka is likely to be put off, party sources said.
