Bangalore, May 30 : B.S. Yeddyurappa was sworn-in as the Chief Minister of Karnataka today.

The swearing-in ceremony was held at the Vidhana Soudha.

Governor Rameshwar Thakur administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new Ministers.

Initially, the swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for Thursday. But the date was rescheduled as the Central Government took its time to revoke President's rule in the state.
