DK Shivakumar takes oath as Karnataka CM

After a long-drawn power tussle in the state, DK Shivakumar, who was serving as deputy chief minister, has been elevated to the top post. He took oath as the new Karnataka chief minister on Wednesday evening at Lok Bhavan in Bengaluru.

Congress came to power in the state in May 2023 and an arrangement was reportedly made under which, both frontrunners for the top post — Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar — were to split the five-year tenure to serve as chief ministers of Karnataka.

On Tuesday, outgoing Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah got a key party responsibility as he was appointed as a member of the Congress Working Committee.

Karnataka CM oath ceremony

The entire city of Bengaluru was decked up for the oath ceremony of DK Shivakumar, with celebratory posters put up at several places. Security was beefed up outside the residence of Shivakumar and at other places in the city on Wednesday morning.

Several Congress leaders from across the country, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and others attended the ceremony.

DK Shivakumar met Siddaramaiah earlier in the day before his swearing-in. He also met veteran BJP leader BS Yediyurappa and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda and invited them to the ceremony.
