Yathindra Siddaramaiah to enter politics in place of Rakesh?

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was all set to field his elder son Rakesh in politics. But his death put his shocked family's plans on hold.

It now seems like his younger son - Dr Yathindra - wants to take up Rakesh’s desire and his father’s wishes, by stepping into politics.

Sources stated that CM Siddaramaiah had advised his son to seek the blessings of the voters, as those have helped their family grow in politics.

It should be noted that before becoming the chief minister, Siddaramaiah also frequently visited his constituency to keep in touch with this supporters.

Now his son Yathindra seems to be following in his footsteps.

However, Yateendra has not made any official statement regarding his joining politics.

He has not yet decided on contesting elections. Currently, he is still in his father’s constituency in Mysuru and staying in their house at Sharadadevi Nagar over the past two days.
