Mysuru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said he will be in politics till his "last breath", and will continue to serve the people as much as he can. 

He also called on the people of his Varuna assembly segment here, to support and nurture his son and Congress MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah politically, just as they supported him. 

"My political life has seen victories and defeats. I have lost in four elections, won seven. Victories and defeats are common in politics and I have seen both, but I have never forgotten to serve the people. Till today I have been serving the people as much as I can, and I will continue to do so. Till my last breath I will be in politics and will serve you as much as I can," Siddaramaiah said. 

Addressing a gathering, he said, he cannot often visit the Varuna assembly segment and that his son, Yathindra, is handling the day-to-day affairs here. 

"He was an MLA from here once (2018-23). I will approve all the developmental work here as Yathindra suggested. Like you nurtured me politically you should also nurture Yathindra. I have confidence and faith that you will do it," he added. 

These comments have come amid ongoing power tussle between Siddaramaiah and his deputy D K Shivakumar over the chief minister post, amid speculations of leadership change citing alleged "power sharing agreement" between the two after 2023 Assembly polls. 

Siddaramaiah credited his political growth and his becoming the CM twice, to the people of Varuna. 

"If I'm the chief minister and the Leader of Opposition twice, if I have presented Budgets for 17 times, it is because of the blessing of people of Varuna hobli and Mysuru taluk. I became Minister in 1984, for about 46 years I have been a Minister. I have faced 13 elections, lost in four, and even when I lost you blessed me. I will never forget your blessings," he said. 

Recalling his days of struggle, the CM said, with hardwork he studied and became a lawyer. "I later came to politics and because of all your blessings I have grown so far."

Several users on ‘X’ on Thursday and Friday shared claims that LPG cylinders booked at 11:45 AM were being delivered within just two hours, prompting humorous and curious reactions online. 

Meanwhile netizens quickly responded to the sudden similar bookings by many users.

One ‘X’ user tweeted, “Booked a Bharat Gas LPG cylinder at 11:45 AM today and it was delivered at my doorstep by 1:30 PM. Without any extra cash or charges. I asked the delivery guy if there was any shortage. His reply was negative. This copy is circulating 👇.”

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
