Siddaramaiah-led Congress’s future uncertain in Karnataka: Kumaraswamy

Hindustan Times  

Former chief minister and Janata Dal HD Kumaraswamy said the future of the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka is uncertain. Speaking at a party meeting, Kumaraswamy said that the government’s fate hinges on the results of the upcoming 2024 Parliament elections. Addressing JD leaders and workers at an “introspection meeting” following the party’s disappointing performance in the recent assembly polls, where they won only 19 seats, Kumaraswamy expressed his intention to rid the JD of the perceived stigma associated with being a “family party” centred around Deve Gowda. Later speaking to reporters, Kumaraswamy said he and his party will keep watch on the government’s implementation of its five poll guarantees, as based on it, the Congress got votes and came to power.
