Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Sunday said that he is ready to sacrifice the Chief Minister's office to make way for a Dalit, according to a report by news agency ANI. Meanwhile, Janata Dal (Secular) (JD-S) supremo H D Deve Gowda said that he was not yet "prepared" to "accept or reject" anything and asked people to wait for the results day.

His reaction came after the exit poll projections showed his party emerging as the kingmaker in Karnataka.

"I am not prepared to accept or reject anything, let's wait for May 15 (counting of votes), we will get to know the reality,"
