Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of Karnataka's outgoing chief minister K Siddaramaiah, was sworn in as a cabinet minister into DK Shivakumar's government, missing the deputy chief minister's post.
Yathindra had earlier dismissed speculation about the deputy chief minister's post, saying he had been assured by Rahul Gandhi that he would find a place in the cabinet.
Shivakumar took oath as the 18th Karnataka's chief minister at Lok Bhavan in Bengaluru, along with 13 ministers, including Siddaramaiah's son Yathindra.
Dalit leader G Parameshwara was sworn in as the deputy chief minister of the state.
The swearing-in ceremony was attended by several Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, and Karnataka Congress in-charge Randeep Surjewala.
