The Congress has appointed former chief minister Siddaramaiah as Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Assembly and ex-minister SR Patil in Legislative Council.

“Congress president has appointed Siddaramaiah as leader of the opposition in the Legislative Assembly and SR Patil as leader of opposition in the Legislative Council in Karnataka with immediate effect,” a party statement said.

Following his appointment, Siddaramaiah thanked the Congress President Sonia Gandhi in  a tweet  for showing “faith” in him and appointing him as Leader of Opposition in the state assembly.

 

Siddaramaiah faces a tough ask to revive the Congress fortunes in Karnataka after the  dismal Lok Sabha Election 2019 results  and the collapse of its  coalition government with JD(S).
