The battle of wits between the ruling Congress and Janata Dal (Secular) leaders intensified on November 16. Accusing Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s son and former Congress legislator Yathindra of acting like a ‘Super Chief Minister’, Mr. Kumaraswamy sought the resignation of Mr. Siddaramaiah over a video clip in which his son is purportedly heard seeking changes to a list of names.
Earlier, the former CM had released a video in which Dr. Yathindra is heard allegedly speaking to his father and later to a person identified as Mahadev on the phone, seeking changes to a list of names, which Mr. Kumaraswamy claimed to be related to postings.
