He also stated that the guarantees given to Karnataka people are not Shivakumar guarantee or Siddaramaiah guarantee but are Congress guarantee and the party will fulfill them. 

Karnataka's deputy chief minister-designate DK Shivakumar promised on Friday that Congress will uphold "guarantees" made to the public in the party's manifesto before his trip to the nation's capital.

The chief ministerial and deputy chief ministerial faces were formally confirmed by Congress on Thursday, putting an end to days of speculation. Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, two leaders in the Congress, will serve as chief minister and deputy chief minister, respectively.

To discuss the selection of MLAs to be sworn in as members of the legislature, both leaders are in nation's capital today. To attend the Congress Legislative Party meeting and stake their claim to form the government before the Governor, they had travelled back to Bengaluru earlier.
