Ex Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has suggested that he could say goodbye to politics. The statement comes days after his government lost the majority in the Assembly.

"I am thinking of going away from politics. I came to politics accidentally. I became CM accidentally. God gave me opportunity to become CM twice. I wasn't there to satisfy anyone. In 14 months I did good work towards state's development. I am satisfied," the JDS leader said.

He bemoaned that casteism is growing. "I am observing where today's politics is going. It's not for good people, it's about caste infatuation. Don't bring in my family. I'm done. Let me live in peace. I don't have to continue in politics. I did good when I was in power. I want space in people's heart," he added.
