"I will answer the rest after gathering
complete information," he told the enumerators. The CM was in a jovial
mood when he replied to 25 questions that generally focused on his personal
details. But he struggled when he was asked about his age at the time of
joining school, annual income and property.

When the enumerators asked his annual income,
Siddaramaiah said: "How to calculate that sitting here?" Then
Kantharaju suggested he give an approximate figure based on the salary he draws
as CM. Siddaramaiah responded by saying: "There are other sources of
income, too, which include rent from a shopping complex and agriculture. I have
a lot of debts too. I will have to work out all this and arrive at a figure. I
will give you the details in a day or two."
