DKS is Karnataka captain, but Siddaramaiah’s XI dominate team

D.K. Shivakumar has officially become Karnataka's 24th Chief Minister, with G. Parameshwara as his Deputy, marking a significant shift in state politics. Despite Shivakumar's new role, the composition of the cabinet underscores Siddaramaiah’s continued influence, with many of his loyalists taking key positions. This move not only balances caste and regional interests but also sets the stage for early initiatives focusing on youth welfare, signaling a shift towards progressive policies. The ceremony was a grand affair, blending religious traditions and drawing high-profile national Congress leaders, reflecting the party's efforts to unify and project a forward-looking agenda.
