Karnataka Chief Minister-designate DK Shivakumar announced on Sunday that he and senior leader Siddaramaiah will travel to New Delhi on Monday. When asked about their travel plans, Shivakumar told reporters, “Both are going tomorrow.”
Congress sources indicated that Shivakumar is scheduled to meet with the party leadership in New Delhi on Monday to discuss cabinet appointments and political developments in Karnataka.
Reflecting on his political journey, Shivakumar highlighted that committed party workers have the potential to become Chief Minister. He said, “I’ve been in the party since 1979-80. Starting as a student leader, I brought people from every school and college. Everyone should be happy about this. A dedicated worker like you can also become Chief Minister.”
Shivakumar also extended his best wishes to cricketer Virat Kohli during the ongoing IPL final, stating, “He’s played very well this year, too. On behalf of Karnataka fans, RCB fans, the state and government of Karnataka, I wholeheartedly wish him success.”
After serving three years as Deputy Chief Minister, Shivakumar is poised to assume office as Karnataka’s Chief Minister. The swearing-in ceremony is set for June 3 at Lok Bhavan in Bengaluru.
Shivakumar formally submitted a letter to Karnataka Governor Thawarchand Gehlot confirming his unanimous election as the Congress Legislative Party leader. This followed the voluntary resignation of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on May 28. The Governor dissolved the previous Council of Ministers immediately but requested Siddaramaiah to continue in office until the new government is sworn in.
Earlier on Sunday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge stated that the final number of ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers in the new Karnataka cabinet had yet to be decided ahead of Shivakumar’s swearing-in on June 3.
