Karnataka Chief Minister designate DK Shiva Kumar on Sunday said that both he and senior leader Siddaramaiah will travel to the National Capital on Monday. Shivakumar will hold a meeting with the parties leadership in New Delhi on Monday to discuss cabinet berths and other political developments in State. Shivakumar said that dedicated party workers can also rise to the position of Chief Minister as he reflected on his long political journey from a student leader to the top post in the state.
DK said I have been in the party since 1979 – 80 as a student leader and I brought people from every school and college everyone should be happy about this. Dedicated worker like you can also become Chief Minister. Shivakumar formally had submitted a letter to Karnataka Governor Thavarchand Gehlot informing him about his unanimous election as CLP leader.
This came after the voluntary resignation of former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on 28th May. The Governor dissolved the previous Council of Ministers immediately but has asked Siddaramaiah to continue until the new government is formed.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had said that the number of ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers in the new Karnataka cabinet is yet to be finalised ahead of the swearing in of party leader DK Shivakumar as the CM of the state on 3rd of June 2026.
It is going to be Wednesday on 3rd June and Astro experts say – Budh is Sudh – hope to see DK Shivakumar as a great CM of the state trying to connect the IT cities of the world to Bengaluru. Hope to see Sunder Pichai and Satya Nadella with the new CM soon.
