2023 assembly election in Karnataka will be my last: HD Kumaraswamy

HD Kumaraswamy sought an opportunity from the people to independently run a government for five years, so as to implement programmes for the larger public good.

JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy on Tuesday said that the 2023 assembly elections in Karnataka will be his last, and sought an opportunity from the people to independently run a government for five years, so as to implement programmes for the larger public good.

"I have been the Chief Minister twice with your blessings. I have decided that the 2023 assembly election will be my last fight. It is not for me to come to power or become the Chief Minister. With the blessings of God, I have already been Chief Minister twice, despite not having a majority," Kumaraswamy said.
