Late on Tuesday afternoon, the Congress has offered to support JD(S) supremo HD Deve Gowda's son HD Kumarawamy as chief minister if the party agrees to an alliance.
Senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "We had a telephonic conversation with Deve Gowda ji and Kumaraswamy. They have accepted our offer. Hopefully, we will be together."
"We accept the mandate of the people. We bow our heads to the verdict. We don’t have numbers to form government. The Congress has offered to support JD(S) to form government," Congress leader G Parameshwara said.
