Karnataka Chief Minister-designate DK Shivakumar is scheduled to meet the Congress high command in New Delhi on Monday to discuss cabinet berths ahead of the oath-taking ceremony, according to sources cited by news agency ANI.
The meeting comes as Shivakumar prepares to take office, following the Congress party's victory in the recent Karnataka assembly elections. The discussions are expected to focus on the allocation of portfolios and the composition of the new state cabinet.
Shivakumar, a senior Congress leader, was elected as the leader of the Congress Legislature Party earlier this week, paving the way for his appointment as Chief Minister. The swearing-in ceremony is anticipated to take place in the coming days, though an exact date has not been officially confirmed.
This development marks a significant step in the formation of the new Karnataka government, with the Congress party aiming to balance various regional and community interests in the cabinet.
