Senior Congress leader and Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara stated on Thursday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will serve his full five-year term, dismissing rumors of any political upheaval.

In response to speculated changes in leadership, Parameshwara assured that there would be no revolution and the state will maintain a peaceful status quo with Siddaramaiah at the helm. The Chief Minister himself has committed to respecting the Congress high command's decisions.
