Karnataka Chief Minister (CM), Siddarmaiah has expressed confidence today as the state goes to polls that Congress will be back to form the government with a clear majority.

“Congress will get a clear majority there is no doubt on this. We are very, very confident that Congress will come back to power with clear majority,” the CM briefed the media. He also added that Congress party will bag more than 120 seats.
