Senior Congress leaders from several States gathered in Kerala on Monday for the swearing-in ceremony of veteran party leader V.D. Satheesan, with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar among the prominent attendees at the event.
The programme witnessed a strong turnout of Congress workers and supporters, many of whom had assembled well before the ceremony began. Party leaders from different regions were seen interacting with local functionaries and supporters as the event progressed.
A notable moment during the function came when Mr. Shivakumar appeared on the stage. Sections of the crowd responded with loud chants of “DK, DK”, briefly interrupting the formal proceedings. The cheering continued for a short while before the programme resumed.
Mr. Siddaramaiah and Mr. Shivakumar remained at the venue alongside other senior Congress figures as the ceremony proceeded in the presence of party workers from across Kerala.
According to party sources, the Karnataka leaders also held informal interactions with senior Kerala Congress functionaries on the sidelines of the event. The discussions took place away from the main stage during breaks in the programme.
The gathering reflected the presence of senior Congress leadership across States at an event that drew considerable attention from party cadres in Kerala. Supporters continued to gather around the venue through the course of the programme, with party workers raising slogans and greeting leaders as they arrived.
