Karnataka Chief Minister Oath On Thursday Amid Suspense Over Name

Karnataka Congress government oath-taking: The Gandhis and Congress national chief Mallikarjun Kharge will attend the event

The new Karnataka Chief Minister and the cabinet will take oath on Thursday, sources said.

The Gandhis and national Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge will attend the event. The Congress has sent invitations to all "like-minded" parties to attend the oath-taking event.

The final contours of the Karnataka cabinet will take shape in a day or two, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.

The BJP has been voted out of power in Karnataka, its only bastion in the south until yesterday, when the Congress took 135 seats in the 224-member house.
