Questions Siddaramaiah’s right to field his son Yathindra from Varuna Assembly segment
Hitting out at former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s barb against alleged domination of JD(S) patriarch H.D. Deve Gowda’s family in the party, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy questioned the Congress leader’s moral right to field his son Yathindra from Varuna Assembly segment in Mysuru.
Mr. Kumaraswamy was reacting to Mr. Siddaramaiah statement replacing the ‘S’ with an ‘F’ in JD(S) to highlight the domination of the family.
The JD(S) leader sought to know Siddaramaiah’s reason behind bringing his son Yathindra into politics. Though his elder son Rakesh, who died, was in politics, his second son Yathindra was a doctor. “If you did not wish to contest, you could have fielded a committed party worker. Why your son? Your son was not in politics. He was not even a gram panchayat member. Why did you field him from Varuna? Is only Deve Gowda’s party a family party,” he questioned.
