athindra Siddaramaiah,son of Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah,embroiled in a fresh controversy after he was caught on camera giving Instructions to his father over what is allegedly dubbed as transfers.
Dr.Yatindra who is MLA from Varuna constituency,is accused of handling transfers has caught on camera speaking to his father during a public meeting,giving instructions to his father to consider the list he sent and so the needful.
He also asked his father to give the phone to his staff identified as mahadeva and gave him the instructions in a tough stance directing him to do whatever he was told to do.
The clip has circulated widely on social media giving room for the speculation about yatindra intervention of transfer business this incident also gave ample opportunity for the opposition party to attack on the government about transfer business for cash and commission.
CM Siddaramaiah clarifies and says Unfortunately,former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy,who was involved in rampant corruption during his tenure,thinks all are like him.
His pessimistic attitude does not allow him to think beyond corruption.
His insecurity in politics often forces him to fabricate fake stories to paint a negative picture of his political opponents.
The same has happened with respect to the recent public phone conversation between me and my son about the development of schools in Varuna constituency.
Varuna Constituency Ashraya Committee Chairman and KDP member Dr.Yatindra has been tirelessly working for the development of the region,including improving the government schools using CSR funds.
Yathindra was discussing about the list of beneficiary schools for the development.Kumaraswamy has twisted this phone conversation which happened in front of the public to falsely attribute it to corruption in transfers.
People of Karnataka have been seeing Kumaraswamy’s attempt to personally defame me since his party lost miserably in the elections.
Now he has gone one step further to hurt my family for his ulterior political motives.This has exposed his sadistic mindset.
Though Dr.Yathindra did not contest the elections,he remains committed to the development of Varuna.
Kumaraswamy’s false allegations are nothing but his cruel attempt to mentally disturb my son.H.D. Kumaraswamy seems to have forgotten that his wife and son are also in politics.
I refrain from stooping to Kumaraswamy’s level and speaking about his family in the same manner.I urge former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda to advise his son to avoid becoming an object of ridicule in front of Kannadigas.
