Bengaluru News Live Updates, 25 May: The new Karnataka Chief Minister and his Deputy are set to resume the exercise of putting together a full-fledged state Cabinet in consultation with the Congress high command.
It was after a series of intense parleys over the past three days that the Congress decided that veteran party leader Siddaramaiah will be the new CM of the state.
According to party sources, Shivakumar, who met Kharge for around 45 minutes, stressed that he took over the job as Congress chief in Karnataka when no one was ready to accept it.
