Dalit Chief Minister For Karnataka? Siddaramaiah Says "Yes", With Riders
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah today said while he is willing to stay on as the Chief Minister for another term, he would step aside for a Dalit candidate if the party high command so desires. Amid the exit polls' prediction of a split verdict where Janata Dal Secular chief Deve Gowda will emerge kingmaker, the comment indicates the Congress is considering ways to get the former Prime Minister on their side.
