BENGALURU: Former Union minister CM Ibrahim on Sunday took over as state president of Janata Dal (S) as he was formally inducted into the party in the presence of national president HD Deve Gowda and former chief minister HD Kumaraswamy.
Ibrahim’s appointment as JD(S) state chief was formalised by handing over the party flag and the letter of appointment at the party office. The incumbent president, HK Kumaraswamy, has been appointed chairman of the JD(S) parliamentary board. The development assumes political significance at a time when the Congress and JD(S) are vying to consolidate Muslim votes ahead of the 2023 assembly polls.
