KARNATAKA: Asked if he would complete his tenure and make a new record as the longest-serving Chief Minister in the history of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah stated on Tuesday that this depends on the high command's decision. Significantly, on Tuesday Siddaramaiah equaled the record of the longest-serving Chief Minister set by late D. Devaraj Urs.

When asked by reporters in Mysuru whether he would complete his tenure and set a new record as the longest-serving CM in the history of Karnataka, CM Siddaramaiah stated that its all depends upon the decision of the high command and he doesn't know when the high command will make decisions.

"I trust the high command. If there was no trust, how could I become the CM?" he said when asked whether he doesn't trust high command on this.
