DK Shivakumar is set to make a major announcement for Bengaluru after taking oath as Chief Minister.
Sources indicate that he will lay special emphasis on transforming Bengaluru through a series of initiatives focused on improving the city's infrastructure, mobility, cleanliness, and overall quality of life.
Karnataka Chief Minister-designate DK Shivakumar told NDTV that along with him, 13 MLAs will be sworn in. "I'm going now to meet HD Deve Gowda. They have worked for the state, they have guided the state so have come to meet him," he said.

Following his swearing-in as the new Chief Minister of Karnataka, D K Shivakumar is scheduled to proceed to Vidhana Soudha to officially assume office.

Soon after, he is expected to convene the first Cabinet meeting with the newly inducted ministers.
DK Shivakumar, Congress's longtime troubleshooter in the south and later an aspirant for the top post in Karnataka, will take oath today. The ceremony - which takes place at 4 pm at the Lok Bhavan -- comes after a tussle with his predecessor Siddaramaiah that ran for more than a year.
