D.K. Shivakumar was sworn in as Karnataka's chief minister on Wednesday, ushering in a new chapter in the state's politics and signalling a generational shift within the Congress.
A letter addressed to Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot and signed by Shivakumar listed the first members of his cabinet, blending experienced hands with key political allies as he seeks to balance regional, caste and factional interests within the party.
