December 09, 2019 16:07

Siddaramaiah quits as leader of the Congress legislative party after defeat in the Karnataka bypolls. "I need to respect democracy. I have resigned as Congress Legislative Party leader. I have submitted my resignation to Sonia Gandhiji."

Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa on Monday asserted that he would give a stable and pro-development government for the next three-and-half years -- the remainder of his term.

"Voters have given their verdict and the results are out. Now we have to focus on the development of the state. I will give a good administration in the next three-and- half years with the help of our ministers and MLAs," an upbeat Chief Minister told reporters.

He sought the support of the opposition to complete his term unhindered. The opposition was trying to create confusion among people. I appeal to them that at least from now on give us their complete support," Yediyurappa said.

BJP is leading in 12 out of 15 seats, Congress in 2 and an Independent in 1 seat.
