Bagalkot: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said that the support of MLAs is crucial for anyone aspiring to become the Chief Minister. “The high command has its importance, but ultimately, it is the MLAs who have to give their consent. Therefore, both the support of MLAs and the blessings of the high command are essential to become the Chief Minister,” he stated.

The statement came amid speculation about a change of guard and cabinet reshuffle in the state when the Congress government reaches the halfway mark of its five-year term in November, which is being referred to by some as \"November revolution\".

Speaking to reporters in Bagalkot on Monday, Siddaramaiah dismissed the so-called ‘November Revolution’ claims, terming them baseless. “No such ‘kranti’ will ever happen,” he remarked.
