Mysuru: Amidst intense debates over leadership change and power-sharing in state politics, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah dropped a significant hint about his future today in Mysuru. "If the High Command gives me the opportunity, I am ready to present the next two budgets as well," he stated, effectively hitting back at his political opponents.

1. The High Command's Decision is Final

Siddaramaiah, who set a record by presenting the state budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year just yesterday, clarified his stance while speaking to the media in Mysuru today. "I have complete faith in the High Command. If they ask me to continue as the Chief Minister, I will. It doesn't matter what anyone else says; for me, only the High Command's decision is final," he thundered.

2. Work Matters More Than Budget Records

Speaking about his track record of budget presentations, the CM said, "I don't believe in just budget numbers or records. Serving the people is what matters. If given the chance, I will present two more budgets. From now on, no matter what question is asked on this topic, my only answer will be 'The High Command.'" With this, he attempted to put an end to ongoing speculations.

3. Backed by People's Support

"It is not just the people of Mysuru, but the people of the entire state of Karnataka who want me to continue as the Chief Minister. I have the blessings of the people. However, in a democracy, I remain committed to whatever decision the party High Command takes," Siddaramaiah said emotionally. This statement by the Chief Minister has created a stir within the Congress circles, leaving everyone to wait and see what decision the High Command will take in the coming days.
