Siddaramaiah’s supporters on Thursday thronged his residence to celebrate even as an official announcement on the chief minister is yet to be made by the Congress. More than 100 policemen have been deployed around the residence to control the swelling masses. Besides, preparations at Kanteerava Indoor stadium are in full swing with the authorities finalising the seating arrangements. The supporters had begun celebrations on Wednesday after KPCC Women’s Wing President Puspa Amarnath, former minister H.C. Mahadevappa and senior party leader Ashok Pattan issued statements claiming that Siddaramaiah has been chosen for the post.
