Bangalore - Ressurecting the Congress rule in Karnataka

poor, SCs, STs, OBCs and minorities in his maiden act.

The 64-year-old backward class leader was sworn in by
Governor H R Bhardwaj amid fanfare with thousands of his
supporters in attendance at the ceremony held in the jam-
packed Kanteerava Stadium, instead of the portals of
state legislature building (Vidhana Soudha), state
secretariat, or Raj Bhavan.

Sporting white silk dhoti and shirt, Siddaramaiah, a
self-declared atheist, was sworn in alone and he took the
oath in the name of 'Truth'.

Thereafter, Siddaramaiah went into the action mode to
implement the Congress poll manifesto, chairing his
maiden Cabinet meeting with only him in attendance as the
list of Ministers is yet to be finalised.
