Senior Congress leader G. Parameshwara met with Karnataka Chief Minister-designate D. K. Shivakumar on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 [3].
The meeting serves as a critical coordination point for the state's executive leadership as political activity intensifies ahead of the formal transition of power.
The two leaders gathered at the residence of Shivakumar in Bengaluru [1] to discuss the final arrangements for the administration. Parameshwara is set to be appointed as the deputy chief minister of Karnataka [2].
This high-level meeting precedes the official swearing-in ceremony, which is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. at Lok Bhavan [1]. The event marks the formal commencement of Shivakumar's tenure as the head of the state government.
While most reports indicate the meeting occurred at Shivakumar's residence, some accounts suggest the pair met with former leader Siddaramaiah at a different location. The primary focus of the gathering remained the strategic alignment of the incoming cabinet, and the logistics of the oath-taking process.
The transition occurs amid a period of heightened political activity in the region. The appointment of Parameshwara as deputy chief minister is a key component of the new leadership structure designed to manage the state's governance moving forward.
