Either they should stay united or dissolve the Assembly and go for fresh election,’’ he added.

Horatti, who was also the Chairperson of Legislative Council earlier, said there will be leaders in all parties who always want to create confusion. ‘’These leaders who wanted to please either Mr Kumaraswamy or Coordination Committee Chairman Siddaramaiah have been giving such confusing statements saying that Siddaramaiah should become the Chief Minister once again.
