The Shivakumar cabinet reflects a strategic caste balance, with representation from Vokkaliga, Lingayat, Dalit, Muslim, Christian, Kuruba, Reddy, and tribal communities. Key appointments, including G. Parameshwara as Deputy CM, aim to reassure Dalits, while Lingayat and Vokkaliga leaders strengthen regional influence. The ministry may expand to 30-34 members.
