Will Siddaramaiah's younger son enter politics?

YathindraBengaluru, Aug 24: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's younger son Yathindra says he will visit his father's constituency Varuna in Mysuru at least once or twice a week.

With his elder brother Rakesh's demise, Dr Yathindra feels he should act as a bridge between the people of the constituency and his father. Unlike his father and brother, Dr Yathindra, a health professional, has stayed away from politics.

On Sunday, he visited the family house in Ramakrishna Nagar in Mysuru, where he interacted with some representatives from the Varuna constituency. This sparked off speculation about his possible foray into politics.

On Tuesday, Dr Yathindra said he is not sure about his future plans. “But I have decided to keep in touch with the people of the constituency to address their grievances for the next one-and-a-half years. I have a diagnostic centre in Bengaluru. It will not be very difficult for me to take time off from my profession and visit Varuna once or twice a week,” he said.

He said that after his brother's demise, the people of the constituency started reaching out to him and advising him that he should step in, as they felt “deserted”.

“The people have no direct access to my father and they had expressed their concerns. I have not decided to enter politics or even join the party. My father has appointed a lot of officers to oversee development works in Varuna, and I will act as a coordinator,” he added.

Stating that he had never discussed politics with his brother, he said that he was surprised to see the rapport Rakesh had established with the people.

“My brother and I rarely met, and never discussed politics. But after his death, my mother requested me to step in. She does not want anybody taking undue advantage of our situation,” he added. Dr Yathindra said that his father had neither asked him to oversee activities in Varuna nor had he taken objection to his latest decision.

Mangaluru, Jan 2: The Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi has dropped its plan to stage a massive protest against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens on January 4 at Mangaluru’s Nehru Maidan.

Addressing a press conference here today, committee chief K S Mohammed Masood made this announcement.

“All the 28 organisations that had decided to stage protest under the leadership of the Muslim Central Committee, have unanimously agreed to temporarily cancel the protest plan after the city police refused permission for the event,” he said.

Mr Masood requested the people, especially the youth, not to lose patience. “No one should head to Nehru Maidan on January 4 as Muslim leaders have unanimously decided to cancel the protest,” he urged.

S M Rasheed Haji, Y Abdulla Kunhi, Umar UH, Ibrahim Kodichal, B M Mumtaz Ali, Khasim H K, Mansoor Ahmed Azad and Asif Deals were present in the press meet.

Muslim organisations felicitate State BJP Chief Nalin Kumar

 

I want to know from them wat was the need for this. Has this helped the ordinary Mangalore Muslims in anyway. I would not have asked abt this if the program was conducted in your house. But here it is done in the name of Muslims. We need to stop being intellectually dishonest

We respect ur decision sir.

 

But there are a lot of questions about it on people's mind.

We need to be updated about ur next plan of action.

Are u planning to approach the court for gaining the permission from the police, bcoz otherwise I don't think we will get the permission

 

Secondly, a few days back I wanted to contact Muslim central committee office to confirm if the protest Wil be there. I googled for the no, but the no. did not exist. Does that mean the Muslim central committee does not have an office or telephone no????

This only shows how organised we are.

Requesting Muslim central committee to get their house in order. Get more professional. Also consult people to utilise various platform to responsibly collect funds from so many ordinary bearys who want to donate money, but don't know whom to send it to.

We need an action committee to handle such situations. It must consist a battery of lawyers to fight the cases filed by the police.

If our leaders are old, they need to groom new leaders into the committee.

 

Moreover, it is important to question these so called leaders about their fecilitation program conducted for making kateel wen he won the election. Wat was the purpose of such fecilitation. Becoz I don't think he gives a damn when our community suffered. I question, whether all this is done in our name only to gain your contact and flourish ur business???

Never ever dare to do so in the name of Muslims
