No matter who pays, we will pay for the five announcements in this year's budget," he said, as reported by ANI.


"Our five guarantees transcend caste and religion. The poor and the middle class of all sections of society are in dire straits. We are fulfilling these to alleviate their suffering," he added. Reaffirming his promise to all Kannadigas, he said, "As long as I am in power, I will strive for the prosperity of the oppressed castes, dalit communities, minority communities and the poor people of all castes."
Reiterating that he would not contest for polls again, he said, "I will not stand for election again. I will be active in politics till the end. I will continue my politics and fight for the poor."

He said that the Kaginele Mahasansthan has been established with the intention to serve as a conglomeration for all exploited communities. "It is not just a caste-society Mutt. It belongs to all the exploited societies," Siddaramaiah said.
