D K Shivakumar, leading the Karnataka Congress, had a significant meeting with Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot at Lok Bhavan. This engagement precedes the anticipated Congress Legislature Party session where Shivakumar is likely to be chosen as the leader.

The discussions revolved around the swearing-in schedule of the new Chief Minister and the council of ministers, as Gehlot is set to attend a Vice Presidential event in Dharmasthala. While the swearing-in might be slated for this weekend or the following week, a definitive date is yet to be announced. Preparations suggest the ceremony could take place at Vidhana Soudha.
