Aviator Game Bangladesh: Risk, Rewards, and Everything You Need to Know

Bengaluru, Feb 17 (UNI) With Karnataka gearing up for imminent local body elections, including the long-overdue Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) polls, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Monday reaffirmed his loyalty to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah while urging Congress leaders and workers to commence preparations, emphasising that elections could be announced at any time.
"Siddaramaiah is our leader. He is essential for all elections, including Zilla Panchayat, Taluk Panchayat, Assembly, and Parliament. The Congress has made him the Chief Minister twice. Let us not misuse his name every single day; there is no need for that," Shivakumar told reporters here.
His remarks come at a critical juncture, as the Congress intensifies efforts to consolidate its vote base ahead of the local polls, particularly the BBMP elections, pending since September 2020 due to factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, ward delimitation and reservation issues. Recent reports suggest the elections are likely to take place in May or June, with official notifications expected by April-end.
