It has been announced by the Chief Minister's Office that JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy will take oath as the CM of Karnataka on May 23 at 4.30 pm. The event will take place in front of the state Secretariat in Bengaluru in the presence of national leaders and one lakh people.
Meeting the press, Kumaraswamy said, "Although the people did not bless me and our party with a clear mandate, I have got an opportunity again to serve them by God’s grace and my parent’s blessings."
The Congress-JD(S) coalition was asked to form the government on Saturday after BJP failed to prove its majority in the Assembly. Kumaraswamy will be taking the oath as CM for the second, the first being in 2006.
