Besides, former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai congratulated his successor Mr Siddaramaiah upon taking oath as the new Chief Minister.
“Heartiest congratulations to Siddaramaiah for assuming the office as the new Chief Minister of Karnataka and his cabinet members,” the BJP leader tweeted.
Mr Siddaramaiah succeeded Mr Bommai as the Chief Minister exactly a week after Congress won the Assembly elections by bagging 135 seats in the 224-member House.
