Guwahati:
Karnataka CM HD Kumarswamy’s Oath-taking Ceremony today
The star studded second swearing in ceremony of CM HD Kumarswamy in less than a week after BJP’s BS Yeddyurappa resigned on Saturday right before the floor test in the state assembly.
JD(S) leader HD Kumarswamy will be sworn-in today along with his deputy G Parmeshwara, the Karnataka Congress Chief.
The Congress and the JD(S) stitched an unexpected alliance soon after the state threw a split verdict on May 15. Of the state’s 34 ministries, 22 would go to the Congress and 12 including the post of the Chief Minister, will be with the JD(S), Mr. Parameshwara, who also heads the state unit of the Congress.
A star studded affair at the oath taking ceremony
HD Kumarswamy’s oath ceremony will be wholly a star studded affair. Several opposition leaders have been invited to attend the oath taking ceremony. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Delhi Chief Minister have been invited to grace their presence at the ceremony too.
