Preparation ahead of swearing-in ceremony of Kumaraswamy

Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy will swear in today as the 24th chief minister of Karnataka at Vidhan Soudha. Congress’s Dalit leader G Parmeshwara will take oath as deputy chief minister of the state.

The ceremony will be attended by a galaxy of opposition leaders and chief ministers, a development that could plant seeds for a broad-based anti-BJP platform before the Lok Sabha polls next year.

As the administration has anticipated a crowd of above one lakh at the swearing-in ceremony, the periphery of the Vidhan Soudha in Bengaluru would be cordoned off for security reasons.
