This is not an individual's programme, it is a party programme. You useless fellows... There is no worship of individuals here, we are here for the party programme which brings all of us together," Kharge said.The Congress chief also invoked his long political career while cautioning party workers against personality-centric politics."I have 58 years of political experience. Many leaders have come here; although their contribution to the party is small, the party has given them a very big contribution. Whoever is shouting here, there will be footage, I will take disciplinary action after reviewing the footage," he said.On June 4, DK Shivakumar was sworn in as Karnataka's chief minister, formally taking charge of the state government alongside Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara and a 12-member Council of Ministers, bringing an end to his long-running leadership tussle with predecessor Siddaramaiah.Soon after taking oath, Shivakumar chaired his first Cabinet meeting and announced a series of youth-focused initiatives, including free bus passes for students and the formation of 10,000 Bharat Jodo Yuva Sanghas aimed at nurturing leadership skills and promoting social harmony.Dressed in a silk kurta and dhoti, Shivakumar took the oath in the name of revered seer Veera Gangadhara Ajjayya while holding a copy of the Constitution. He then bowed before the gathering and paid his respects after being sworn in.
