Will step aside for a Dalit CM, says Siddaramaiah Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah had earlier said this would be his last election

Bengaluru: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said he will step aside for a Dalit chief minister if the Congress leadership wishes.

"It is fine if the party decides to have a Dalit chief minister," he told a news channel.

The statement comes after exit polls following Saturday's elections predicted a hung assembly with the possibility of the Janata Dal (Secular) emerging as the kingmaker.

Siddaramaiah also took to Twitter to dismiss exit polls as 'entertainment' and told his party workers and supporters to relax and enjoy the weekend. "We are coming back," he tweeted.

Earlier, he told media: "This will be my last election."

The Karnataka election results will be announced on Tuesday.
