'Siddaramaiah is the undisputed leader in Karnataka'
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|February 18, 2025
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will be presenting the state budget on 7 March as per the schedule announced on Monday
Head of the crucial budget session of the state assembly, the two biggies of the Congress in Karnataka and its government -- Chief Minister S Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar came out with statements that appear that the duo has kissed and made up, instead of presenting a chance to the opposition to prise open the internal differences and weaken the very prosperous government that the party runs in the country.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will be presenting the state budget on 7 March as per the schedule announced on Monday. The assembly session begins on 3 March and the governor will address the joint sitting of both houses of state legislature on that day.
Today's confident appearance before the media and assertions on government decisions of Siddaramaiah is very much in contrast to the speculations being made in media and social media over the past few days.
The local media had been abuzz with 'news' about internal strife becoming intense with the Deputy Chief Minister said to be wanting to make a play for the top slot, as indicated by few of his followers.
