“No, there won’t be any mid-term poll,” he told reporters in Mysuru, days after former prime minister and JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda had sent alarm bells ringing in the Congress after he spoke of such a possibility. Congress-JD(S) coalition coordination committee chief and former chief minister Siddaramaiah has ruled out any possibility of mid-term polls to the Karnataka assembly.
Gowda had also said he did not know how long the government, headed by his son HD Kumaraswamy, would continue and it was in the hands of the Congress.
Hitting out at state BJP chief BS Yeddyurappa, Siddaramaiah said the former chief minister was”dreaming” about the collapse of the coalition government and him forming a ministry in the state.
“No one can respond to his (Yeddyurappa’s) dreams (of forming government and becoming CM). He has been saying it for several times now. Whatever Yeddyurappa has said has not turned out to be true,” he said.
Reacting to Siddaramaiah’s comments in Bengaluru, Yeddyurappa said he was not dreaming of becoming chief minister as he has been in the post in the past.
