DK Shivakumar's Humble Gesture on Stage Moments Before Taking Oath
DK Shivakumar, one of Congress's best-known faces from south India, took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka today, bringing to an end a long tussle that had made headlines for the better part of two years.
G Parameshwara, who served as the state's home minister, took oath as his deputy. Choosing him for the post is seen as a balancing act of the Congress, which had to pull out Siddaramaiah from the top post to make way for Shivakumar.
