A week after the Congress won the Assembly elections in Karnataka, veteran leader Siddaramaiah was sworn in as the Chief Minister today (May 20) along with his deputy DK Shivakumar.
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot administered the oath of office and secrecy to Siddaramiah at the swearing-in ceremony held at the jam-packed Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
This is the same stadium where Siddaramaiah took oath in 2013 when he became Chief Minister for the first time.
I thank everyone present here for attending the swearing-in ceremony.

Jai Hind! Jai Karnataka! Jai Congress!
