It is an honour to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha from the beautiful state of Karnataka.
I am deeply grateful to Congress President Shri Mallikarjun @kharge, CPP Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition Shri @RahulGandhi, General Secretary (Organisation) @kcvenugopalmp, and General Secretary Smt. @priyankagandhi and General Secretary Communications, Shri @Jairam_Ramesh for their faith in me and for their constant guidance, encouragement and support.
I hope to prove worthy of the trust and confidence that the leadership has reposed in me.
As to those who are congratulating me on the culmination of my ‘tapasya,’ I have only this to say: the journey is far from over.
My ‘tapasya’ will truly be over only the day Shri @RahulGandhi takes oath as the Prime Minister of India in 2029.

बिना साबुन के ही धो डाला।

VIDEO | Delhi: Autorickshaw drivers shared their concerns over livelihoods and rising costs during an interaction with Congress leader and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi.
Auto driver Ramesh Prasad says, “We interacted with Rahul Gandhi ji and told him that our business is running very slowly. He inquired about my children’s education and how we manage our daily earnings and meals. We shared a simple meal of dal, roti, and vegetables with Rahul Gandhi ji.”
Another driver, Arinder Kumar Shah, says, “We spoke about the burden of inflation, especially rising gas prices, which have made survival incredibly difficult. Rahul Gandhi ji promised to support the drivers and said he would raise our grievances directly before PM Narendra Modi in Parliament. We all shared a meal of roti and a Bihar-style aloo ki sabzi (potato dish).”

ದೆಹಲಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂದು ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ವರಿಷ್ಠರಾದ ರಾಹುಲ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಎಐಸಿಸಿ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷರಾದ ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ ಖರ್ಗೆಯವರನ್ನು ಭೇಟಿಯಾಗಿ ಮಾತುಕತೆ ನಡೆಸಿದೆ.
ಶಾಸಕರುಗಳಾದ ಕೆ.ಜೆ.ಜಾರ್ಜ್, ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ್ ಖರ್ಗೆ, ಡಾ|| ಯತೀಂದ್ರ ಸಿದ್ದರಾಮಯ್ಯ ಅವರು ಈ ವೇಳೆ ನನ್ನೊಂದಿಗಿದ್ದರು.
I met Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at his official residence, “Kaveri,” just half an hour before he was set to leave for Lok Bhavan to submit his resignation.
An emotional atmosphere had enveloped the Chief Minister’s residence, affecting everyone, including Siddaramaiah himself. Despite this immense pressure, he spoke with me privately for fifteen minutes with his usual warmth and shared his decision.
In politics, these shifts are natural. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the swearing-in and the stepping down of eight Chief Ministers from close quarters. I have been a witness to many such emotional crossroads. However, it is rare to find a Chief Minister who, even in the difficult hour of exiting power, maintains a balanced mind, displays true statesmanship, stands by his word, and leaves without causing the slightest dent to his party’s integrity while carrying the immense weight of the people's affection. Among such leaders, Siddaramaiah stands foremost.
Watching Siddaramaiah prepare to leave for Vidhana Soudha to tender his resignation, my eyes welled up and my heart grew heavy.
Siddaramaiah Sir, may your future political journey continue to be just as bright. My humble regards.
Tributes to India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Ji on his death anniversary 🙏 A leader whose vision and contribution continue to inspire generations.
When all close cabinet ministers forced cm tht not to resign my man humbly told i will not go against Rahul Gandhi mad respect for you @siddaramaiah you have lead life with dignity now ending with diginity
