Siddaramaiah, who is Congress Legislative Party leader said: "In case there are early elections, we are ready to face. People are in our favour."
Former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah is reluctant to contest the 2023 assembly election in the state from the Chamundeshwari assembly segment in Mysuru district where he had lost in 2018.
As the sitting chief minister back in 2018, he chose to contest from Chamundeshwari and vacated his 'safe seat' of Varuna in Mysuru district to son Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah.
While his son emerged victorious, the senior Siddaramaiah lost to JD(S) leader GT Deve Gowda with a margin of about 34,000 votes in Chamundeshwari seat.
"People are calling me to contest from four to five places. I have not decided yet," Siddaramaiah told reporters.
