As per the agreement between the coalition partners JD (S) and BJP, JD (S) supposed to handover the chief ministerial post to BJP later this year.  Accordingly there are wide speculations about who would be the next chief minister.  Though the present deputy CM is said to head the government, it is also true that JD (S) supremo Deve Gowda is against this.
