Chief Minister Siddaramaiah clarified during his visit to Kodagu on Thursday that his son and former MLA Yathindra will not be contesting the ensuing elections to the Lok Sabha from Mysuru-Kodagu constituency.
The Chief Minister’s assertion comes at a time when sitting BJP MP from Mysuru-Kodagu Pratap Simmha had accused the Chief Minister of targeting him and engaging in a “political strategy” to facilitate Mr. Yathindra’s election from the Mysuru Lok Sabha seat.
