KC Venugopal, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, announced that the party will finalize the name of the new Chief Minister of Karnataka today. This decision comes after the resignation of Siddaramaiah, who stepped down on May 28 following a directive from the party's high command. Former Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who is anticipated to be elected as the new leader of the Congress Legislature Party, suggested that the oath ceremony for the new Chief Minister might take place on June 3. As Shivakumar arrived at the Congress Legislative Party meeting, he was greeted by a large crowd of supporters. Siddaramaiah's resignation was accepted by Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot, who also dissolved the Council of Ministers immediately, while requesting Siddaramaiah to continue in his role until a new arrangement is made. The outcome of today's meeting is expected to shape the future leadership of Karnataka's Congress government.
