Karnataka news live: Basavaraj Bommai to take oath as chief minister at 11am
Outgoing chief minister BS Yediyurappa’s close confidant, state home minister Basavaraj Bommai, will be the new chief minister of Karnataka. He will be sworn in at 11am on Wednesday.

However, unlike the previous term, sources suggest there may be a change of faces, keeping the 2023 polls in mind. The current deputy CMs are Govind Karjol, CN Ashwath Narayana & Laxman Savadi.
