Kochi: Former Karnataka Chief Minister of Congress Siddaramaiah, 79, on Sunday announced to stay away from active politics due to age factor and growing corruption.
In a post on X, Siddaramaiah said he will be active in public life in his Varuna constituency where people are compelling him to contest again.
Siddaramaiah also reflected on his five-decade-long political career, saying 2028 would mark 50 years since he entered public life as a taluk board member in 1978.
“For five decades, the people of the state have seen me as one among them and affectionately guided me. This debt weighs on me. Therefore, my future life too will be dedicated to public service,” the post read.
