Bengaluru: JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda said that Kumaraswamy, who is taking oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka today, must take advise from former CM Siddaramaiah.

Speaking to media persons at his residence in Padmanabhanagar here, he said the coordination committee has been formed to look into any differences in the coalition government. Siddaramaiah is also there in the committee. Kumaraswamy must take decisions after discussing with him.

Deve Gowda said that the waiver of farmer loans could be decided only after discussions in the Coordination Committee.

"I extend my blessings to Kumaraswamy as a father rather than a party president. This is our duty as parents," he responded to media.

When asked about the formation of Third Front, Mr. Gowda replied that leaders of all the regional political parties have come from various states. "But I can not say anything about the Third Front now," he replied.
