Karnataka is set for a major political transition as DK Shivakumar gears up to be sworn in as Chief Minister on June 3, marking the end of the Siddaramaiah era. The Congress Legislature Party's unanimous backing, with Siddaramaiah himself proposing Shivakumar's name, signals a carefully managed transfer of power and a show of party unity.
As the spotlight shifts to Shivakumar, key questions now emerge over the shape of the new cabinet, the deputy CM formula, and the balancing of regional and caste equations. June 3 is not just a swearing-in - it marks the beginning of a new chapter in Karnataka politics.
