Siddaramaiah skips opening day of Shivakumar-led Karnataka Assembly
Siddaramaiah skips first Assembly session of new government · thehansindia.com

A big group of people called the government met at a place called the Assembly to talk about how to run the state.

This was the first meeting of the new government, and the leader of the government, a man named D.K. Shivakumar, came to it.

But another very important leader named Siddaramaiah, who used to be the leader before, did not come.

He stayed at his home in Bengaluru and met a champion bodybuilder named A.V. Ravi.

People are wondering why he did not come to the meeting.

Some people think he might be upset about who got important jobs in the government, which is called a Cabinet expansion.

Not everyone from his group came to the meeting either — only about 65 or 70 people showed up.

Some people who wanted important jobs but did not get them also stayed away.

Other people who were upset about their jobs did come and sat quietly at the back.

Everyone is talking about why so many people did not show up, and we will see what happens next.
