With hectic Lok Sabha election campaign just around the corner, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has chosen to take a break from the routine by camping at a resort on the banks of river Kapila in H.D. Kote near here for two to three days.
Mr. Siddaramaiah, who left Mysuru after addressing a meeting of party leaders from Mysuru, Kodagu and Chamarajanagar districts at a hotel in the city on Sunday evening, is expected to return only on Wednesday for an event organised in Mysuru to mark the entry of leaders from BJP and JD(S) to the party fold.
Giving company to Mr. Siddaramaiah at the private resort, which is also situated near the Bandipur and Nagarhole national parks, are Ministers in-charge of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar districts H.C. Mahadevappa and K. Venkatesh, both considered to be close friends of the Chief Minister for long years, besides former Hunsur MLA H.P. Manjunath.
