Bengaluru, Oct 07: Former CM Siddaramaiah should once again become Chief Minister. There is no such leader in the entire country. A leader should be like Siddaramaiah, opined B.Z Zameer Ahmed Khan, Minister for Food and Civil Supplies.
Speaking to media persons on Sunday, he said that Siddaramaiah had earlier sanctioned Rs 3,100 crore for minority welfare in the state. “He would have given Rs 10,000 crore if he had become CM once again," he said.
Go to any place in the state, and you could find people remembering Siddaramaiah’s works. Minorities remember Siddaramaiah. Siddaramaiah should be the chief minister again by the blessings of God, Khan expressed hope.
The Congress-JDS coalition government must complete its five-year term, and Kumaraswamy will remain the CM for five years. Siddaramaiah would be the CM for the next term, he said

New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took oath as a Lok Sabha MP on Thursday following her thumping victory from Kerala's Wayanad in a bypoll.
The 52-year-old, who joins her mother Sonia and brother Rahul as an MP in what is a rare instance of three members of a family together in Parliament, took affirmation in Hindi while holding a copy of the Constitution soon after the House met.
Ravindra Chavan (Cong), who won the Nanded bypoll also took oath in Marathi in the name of God. The bypoll was necessitated following the demise of his father Vasantrao Chavan recently.
Priyanka Gandhi took the plunge into active politics in 2019 and was later appointed Congress general secretary. Five years after that, Priyanka Gandhi begins her journey as an elected representative of the people.
With a winning margin of more than 4.1 lakh votes, she surpassed the tally of her brother Rahul Gandhi from Wayanad in Kerala.
Priyanka Gandhi's entry into Parliament comes at a difficult time for the party, which has been jolted by electoral defeats in Haryana and Maharashtra. It would be interesting to see if she is able to give a much-needed fillip to the grand old party and help put it back on the electoral track.
Often drawing comparisons with her grandmother Indira Gandhi for their similarity in looks and way of speaking, Priyanka Gandhi has been the go-to campaigner for the party since her entry into active politics and even before that when she campaigned for her mother Sonia and brother Rahul.
Congress leaders from Wayanad handed over the election certificate of the Wayanad parliamentary by-election to Priyanka Gandhi on Wednesday and conveyed their best wishes.
Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday won the Wayanad Lok Sabha bypoll with a thumping margin of over four lakh votes, defeating Sathyan Mokeri of the CPI(M)-led LDF.
