The newly-elected Congress government in Karnataka is set to get a full-fledged state Cabinet, weeks after the party registered an emphatic win in the Assembly polls on May 13. As many as eight ministers along with the chief minister and his deputy have already taken oath in Karnataka on May 20, with 24 new ministers set to be sworn-in on Saturday.
