Will complete my term and lead Cong in 2018 assembly polls: Siddaramaiah

May 13, 2016

Bengaluru, May 13: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who will completed three years in office on Friday is confident of continuing as chief minister for the next two years.

Not just completing his five-year term, Siddaramaiah is also sure that he would lead the Congress party in the next assembly election in 2018.

In an interaction with the media in Delhi on the eve of completing three years in the hot seat, Siddaramaiah said he supported the demand for a Dalit chief minister in Karnataka but that did not mean that he would be replaced as rumoured.

The chief minister recently got a survey done by a government department on his pet Bhagya schemes targeted at the poor. He has organised an interactive programme with select beneficiaries of these schemes, in Bengaluru on?Friday.

Through the survey, he tried to get a pat on his back. But the BJP?and the JD(S)?are not likely to spare him as they have a long list of corruption and nepotism charges against the Congress.

Asked how he felt about his administration, he said, “I am satisfied with my performance as I gave corruption-free administration. My government launched several welfare programmes like Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya and a scheme for farmers."
