After several rounds of discussion and deliberations, Congress announced senior leader Siddaramaiah as the new Karnataka Chief Minister and DK Shivakumar as the new Deputy Chief Minister. The duo was present at Vidhana Soudha for their first cabinet meeting after their swearing-in ceremony on Saturday. Before entering the building, DKS showed the media stationed outside a victory sign. However, what caught everyone’s attention was that the Congress leader bowed on the steps of the building and touched the stairs with his forehead as a sign of respect.
Besides Siddaramaiah and DKS, eight MLAs asserted in the new Karnataka cabinet at the Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. The eight ministers who took oath, one week after the Congress won with a big margin at the Karnataka Assembly elections, are G. Parameshwara, K. H. Muniyappa, K. J. George, M. B. Patil, Satish Jarkiholi, Priyank Kharge, Ramalinga Reddy and B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan.
Meanwhile, DKS put out a tweet after taking oath as the Dy CM. He wrote, “As I embark on a new journey to fulfill the aspirations of our people, I promise that Congress Govt will guarantee sustained progress and welfare of all”
