KCR Raises Questions by Calling Cabinet Meeting Day After Election Results
- KCR called a cabinet meeting on Dec 4th, a day after election results are announced, raising questions about his motives
- As acting CM until Dec 5th, he can't make policy decisions due to election code of conduct
- He may be resigning as CM irrespective of election results, but doesn't need cabinet meeting for that
- Holding meeting seems to send message that he'll return as CM for 3rd term, surprising given uncertainties
- Seen as a mind game to motivate party cadres, as many ministers may lose their seats
