Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah with Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, in Bengaluru.
Chief Minister expressed confidence that his resignation would be accepted by the governor soon after he returns to Lok Bhavan.
He maintained that it was the responsibility of the governor to accept the resignation once it is submitted and make way for the next chief minister to assume office.
He thanked former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, and his colleagues in the party for giving him the opportunity to serve as chief minister of Karnataka.
He cited his rural background and recollected his journey in politics, from a member of the panchayat, to minister, Deputy CM, Leader of Opposition, and chief minister (2013-18 and 2023-26).
He said that his work was directed towards ensuring equality in society. He said that a society cannot be described as just unless everyone gets equal opportunities to grow in their lives and career.
