Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday firmly pushed back against ongoing speculation over a power-sharing arrangement, making it clear that his tenure is not up for debate. Speaking on the floor of the Karnataka Assembly, he asserted that he has been elected with a full five-year mandate.

“I am the Chief Minister. I will continue till the High Command orders. I have been elected for five years,” Siddaramaiah said, drawing a clear line under the rumours surrounding his position.
