D K Shivakumar is set to be sworn in as the 34th Chief Minister of Karnataka, following the resignation of Siddaramaiah. The oath-taking ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday evening at Lok Bhavan, with a limited attendance of around 2,000 invitees, including prominent Congress leaders such as Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. Alongside Shivakumar, approximately 10 ministers will be inducted in the first batch, with Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of the former Chief Minister, among them. The new Cabinet is expected to reflect Karnataka's diverse caste and regional representation. Key figures likely to be included are M B Patil, G Parameshwara, and Ramalinga Reddy, among others. Additionally, the Congress party is anticipated to make decisions regarding the appointment of deputy chief ministers and a new state Congress president to succeed Shivakumar. This transition marks a significant moment in Karnataka's political landscape as the new administration prepares to address the state's needs and challenges.
