The new Karnataka Chief Minister and the cabinet will take oath on Thursday, reports NDTV.
The Gandhis and National Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge will attend the event. The Congress has sent invitations to all "like-minded" parties to attend the oath-taking event.
The final contours of the Karnataka cabinet will take shape in a day or two, people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The BJP won only 66 seats, down from 104 in the 2018 state election. It did not win a single seat reserved for Scheduled Tribes (ST) category. Karnataka has 51 reserved constituencies, out of which 36 are for Scheduled Castes (SC) candidates and 15 for ST candidates.
The Congress called a meeting of its MLAs today to discuss who would be the Chief Minister.
The Congress Legislative Party (CLP) is expected to pass a resolution leaving it to the Congress national president to decide the Chief Minister pick. No final decision will be taken today, but the views of all MLAs will be ascertained, as per NDTV sources.
