Ramesh, a devoted fan of DK Shivakumar, traveled from Yadgir to attend the Chief Minister's oath-taking ceremony, scheduled for 4:00 PM at Lok Bhavan. He expressed excitement about removing the word 'Next' from his tattoo of Shivakumar, which he had inked three months ago in anticipation of this moment. The ceremony is expected to be a grand affair, with prominent attendees including Rahul Gandhi, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, and several other Congress leaders. Shivakumar, who has been elected as the Congress Legislative Party leader, is succeeding Siddaramaiah, marking a significant moment in Karnataka's political landscape. Known for his crisis management skills and grassroots support, Shivakumar's rise to the Chief Minister position follows years of political maneuvering and strengthening of the Congress organization in the state. His constituency is adorned with decorations celebrating his new role, and supporters have held special prayers ahead of the ceremony.
