HD Kumaraswamy picked up his invite to be Karnataka's next chief minister from Governor Vajubhai Vala on Saturday evening, hours after the governor's first, but controversial choice to run the state - BS Yeddyurappa - sent in his resignation. As he walked out of Raj Bhavan, Mr Kumaraswamy, the nominee of Congress-Janata Dal Secular alliance for the chief minister's job, said he had a date for his swearing-in. It seems he also had a tentative guest list ready.
