Days after forming the government in the southern state, the Karnataka Congress has registered an FIR against former minister and BJP MLA CN Ashwath Narayan for his alleged statement about Siddaramaiah
"A team of journalists, my own political supporters and for the other one, I have a system in place for the past 10 years," the Congress leader inadvertently spilt the beans.
Hours after the Congress announced that Siddaramaiah will become the Chief Minister of Karnataka, a report by The Economic Times claimed that the CM bid of DK Shivakumar was not supported by the party's high command for his dedication towards the Hindu faith.
DK Suresh said, "I am not fully happy but in the interest of Karnataka, we wanted to fulfil our commitment…That is why DK Shivakumar had to accept. In future we will see, there is a long way to go. …I wish it (CM post for DK Shivakumar) but it didn't happen, we will wait and see."

The fiscal deficit for 2022–23 was projected in Karnataka's budget for 2023–24 to be Rs. 60,581 crore.
