Governor HR Bhardwaj late on Friday appointed Congress Legislature Party
(CLP) leader Siddaramaiah as the state's chief minister. The
64-year-old leader is expected to be sworn in on Monday. "The governor
is pleased to appoint Siddaramaiah as the Chief Minister of Karnataka,"
the Raj Bhavan office said in a communique. After meeting Bhardwaj,
Siddaramaiah said the governor had invited him to take oath of office
soon. "I will take oath as chief minister most likely on Monday (May
13)," a beaming Siddaramaiah told reporters outside Raj Bhavan. The
appointment came within three hours after Karnataka Pradesh Congress
Committee (KPCC) president G Parameshwara told the governor that
Siddaramaiah was unanimously elected as the CLP leader and requested him
to invite the latter to form the government.
