Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has completed 100 days in office and made a decision on the use of `Vande Mataram`. Only the first two paragraphs would be sung during government functions, but six stanzas would be recited in the presence of central leaders or the governor. The Chief Minister has faced several challenges during his tenure, overcoming some and making U-turns on others.
A notable compliment came from a High Court judge who appreciated his surprise visit to the Agriculture Produces Marketing Cooperative (APMC) and his personal assessment of the situation. Shivakumar also made a surprise visit to the APMC in Bengaluru, where he listened to the concerns of farmers, laborers, and traders. He personally addressed child laborers and directed the police to take action.
However, the Chief Minister faces multiple problems, including a delayed cabinet expansion, the resignation of Minister B Nagendra due to a corruption scandal, and the withdrawal of the Karnataka Parks (Preservation) Act 2026.
