The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee has announced that DK Shivakumar will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka on June 3 at the Glass House in Raj Bhavan. In a departure from traditional political ceremonies, the party has requested supporters to remain at home to prevent disruption in Bengaluru, as the date coincides with a working day. KPCC Working President GC Chandrashekar emphasized that the ceremony should reflect the party's commitment to public service rather than be a display of political strength. Shivakumar's supporters had initially planned to mobilize around 1,000 buses for the event, but this has been halted. Instead, Shivakumar will tour district headquarters after his inauguration to connect with party workers and the public. Discussions regarding the new cabinet's composition will occur after Shivakumar is officially elected as the Congress Legislature Party leader, following the handover from outgoing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The party expects Shivakumar to build on the welfare schemes introduced during Siddaramaiah's tenure, which have garnered popularity among the populace.
