First look: Son rise in the south
February 03, 2006

Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy (left) and Deputy Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa were sworn in on Friday morning at the Vidhana Soudha in Bangalore.

They head the Janata Dal (Secular)-Bharatiya Janata Party coalition government, which toppled the Dharam Singh-led Congress-JD(S) coalition government on January 28.

Kumaraswamy, son of former prime minister Deve Gowda, has gone against his father's wishes by joining forces with the BJP.

The coalition has entered into a power-sharing agreement, whereby Yediyurappa will take over as chief minister in 20 months.
