Kumaraswamy sworn-in as Karnataka CM

Kumaraswamy sworn-in as Karnataka CM.
Karnataka Congress president G Parameshwara has also been sworn-in as the
deputy chief minister.
Congresss Ramesh Kumar, a former minister, will be the
next Assembly speaker, while the deputy speakers post will go to the
JD-S, Venugopal told PTI.
The Congress would have 22 ministers
and JD(S) 12, he said, adding they would be sworn-in after the floor
test slated for Friday. Officials had earlier said Kumaraswamy will seek
a confidence vote on Thursday. The decision to defer the trust vote by a
day ostensibly stems from rules that require the election of the
Speaker before the exercise.
