Former CM and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah was non-committal on an attempt to retain the Badami Assembly constituency from where he was elected in 2018.
On August 10, just as he was ending his speech after a padayatra in Badami, some people began demanding that he return as the Congress candidate in the next Assembly elections. They raised slogans like ‘Mundina Badami MLA Siddaramaiah’ and ‘Matte Badami’. Some Congress leaders, who were on stage, also joined them in raising this demand.
