D.K. Shivakumar has been sworn in as the 25th Chief Minister of Karnataka. In a unique gesture, he walked onto the stage barefoot and sought blessings from Goddess Saraswati before taking the oath administered by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot. The ceremony was attended by senior leaders including Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, and Chief Ministers from Himachal Pradesh, Telangana, and Kerala. Shivakumar, an eight-time MLA, realized his long-term dream of leading the state following the resignation of Siddaramaiah after discussions with the Congress high command. https://www.dharitri.com/dk-shivakumar-oath-chief-minister-karnataka-barefoot-dais-holding-copy-constitution-hand/ #creator program
