The power-sharing arrangement between the two alliance partners is being finalized and is in the final stages, the sources added.
The leaders of the two parties have held five rounds of talks here since yesterday to finalise the portfolio sharing arrangement between the two alliance partners.
Sources said Congress chief Rahul Gandhi is on board on the issue and has spoken to leaders on phone from the United States, where he is travelling with his mother, who has gone for a medical check-up.
“We have held five rounds of talks with each other and have decided that the JDS will get the Finance portfolio. I will be now travelling to Bengaluru to hold further talks within our party,” JDS leader Danish Ali told PTI.
He said he would meet both Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda.
