Shivakumar said, "The Congress party extends greetings to the new CM. Let him give good administration and bring reputation to the state."

"The Union government has been meeting out injustice to the state in the Mekedatu project. Several projects could not be taken off as the Centre did not allocate funds. The MPs too have not raised their voice in the Parliament. The new CM should ensure that the Centre focuses on the Mekedatu project," he said.
