I will contest 2023 polls from Badami, says Siddaramaiah
The Hindu
Seeking to clear doubts on his future political moves, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday made it clear that he would contest the next Assembly elections and do so from Badami, which he is presently representing.
“I will not run away from elections. I will contest again. Let there be no doubts in this regard in the minds of people,” Mr. Siddaramaiah remarked in the Legislative Assembly. This came in response to a query by Speaker Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri who said there was confusion among people on whether Mr. Siddaramaiah would contest the Assembly elections again. When Revenue Minister R. Ashok sought to know where he was contesting from, Mr. Siddaramaiah first said in lighter vein said that he would pick Padmanabhanagar (which is represented by Mr. Ashok). He later declared that he would stick to Badami.
