BENGALURU: As Congress continues lead in Karnataka, Congress leader and son of Siddaramaiah, Yathindra Siddaramaiah has said that his father should become the Chief Minister. The election results indicate that the Congress will come to power in Karnataka. He also said that for the interest of Karnataka his father should become the Chief Minister.
“Congress will get an absolute majority in the state and we will do anything to keep BJP out of power. In the interest of Karnataka, my father should become the Chief Minister”, said Yathindra Siddaramaiah while speaking to the media.
The lead changes every minute in the counting. Although BJP was leading while counting the postal votes, the lead level of both the parties became close during counting of EVM votes. The Congress started leading from the second stage of the counting. They were able to maintain the lead in Hyderabad Karnataka, Bombay Karnataka and Central Karnataka.
But JD(S) is suffering a huge setback in Karnataka as the counting progresses. Currently they are only leading in 25 seats. It is assessed that the votes from the strong centres of the party shifted to Congress.
