BENGALURU: Responding to the setback for the Mahagathbandhan in the Bihar Assembly polls, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said on Friday that one has to bow down to the mandate of the people.
He made the statement while speaking to reporters in Bengaluru after garlanding the statue of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the Vidhana Soudha premises on the occasion of his birth anniversary.
“We will accept the verdict of the people of Bihar, ” he said. When asked whether his position within the Congress party has been strengthened because of the setback to the Mahaghatbandhan in Bihar, Siddaramaiah refused to answer.
It can be noted that there are strong rumours of a leadership change in Karnataka, and Dy CM D. K. Shivakumar is putting in all his effort to get the CM's post.
