Siddaramaiah Makes History: Karnataka's Longest-Serving CM, Surpassing Devaraj Urs

• Siddaramaiah has become Karnataka's longest-serving Chief Minister, surpassing D Devaraj Urs's record of seven years and 239 days.
• He completed a full term from 2013-2018 and returned to office in May 2023, drawing a cricket analogy that records are meant to be broken.
• The milestone is significant for AHINDA politics, as Siddaramaiah reinforces the importance of OBCs, SCs, and STs, and recently chaired the All India Backward Classes Convention.
• A prominent Kuruba leader, he credits his achievement to public blessings and will celebrate with 'naati koli saaru', stating he never initially aimed to be CM.
