Therefore, I do not wish to make any statement regarding MLA Yateendra Siddaramaiah’s remark that the current Chief Minister will continue for the full five years.

The high command will take an appropriate decision at the right time. When asked about Congress MLA K.N. Rajanna’s recent statement that “H.K. Patil is worthy and eligible to become Chief Minister, the senior leader replied with humility
