Exclusive: Siddaramaiah on Cauvery verdict, farmer suicides, Karnataka elections and more

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the Congress party would return to power in Karnataka on its own, and ruled out the possibility of a hung assembly, during an exclusive interview with India Today.

He told India Today Consulting Editor Rajdeep Sardesai there would be no need for Rahul Gandhi's party to seek Janata Dal HD Deve Gowda's help. When asked whom the former prime minister would side with in the event of a hung assembly, Siddaramaiah said he couldn't say.

But he insisted that "such a situation will not arise." In fact, he thinks his party would be re-elected with a "clear majority," based on its performance.
