Karnataka's New Chief Minister to Take Oath on June 3 at Governor's House

Karnataka's incoming Chief Minister will assume office on June 3 in a ceremony at the Governor's House, as announced by Congress state unit working president G C Chandrashekhar. The venue decision settled recent uncertainties regarding the location for the swearing-in event.

Initially contemplating a larger public event, plans to mobilize thousands of buses for attendees were scrapped due to fuel conservation concerns and potential traffic disruptions in Bengaluru. Emphasizing simplicity, the party urged its members and supporters to avoid causing congestion, committing to a modest ceremony focused on service over spectacle.
